Default For lunch I had Chinese and breakfast I had German...

For lunch I had RICE!!!!

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/17249/jul1402.jpg">

That's my brothers Civic SI. He drove up from S.C for me to help him install his coilovers


And for breakfast, my other brother happened to have in his possession a '96 911 Carrera 4S. I grabbed the keys and woke up Larry and went for a nice drive.

Not a car I would want to drive everyday, but it is fun. I think we hit 140 with it. The brakes are amazing!!! I personally thought my TT handles better in turns and feels quicker, but it just might be me not feeling comfortable.

I made sure to jump in my car right after and I can honestly say there is still not another car that I would rather have for everyday driving.

Larry took some pic and I will post them when I get them.

Back to the Rice mobile!!!!!

What is the Carrera's AWD mechanism? I understand Porsche has considered Haldex for future AWD???

Default 7 clutch plates as opposed to our 4.....and remember what power the 959 was putting out..

Instils a little confidence in the longevity of the haldex only hooked up to the likes of 225 hp or so...

Yesh, clutches... wait, that means nothing to me, but if it inspires confidence in you, me too ;-)

Default Don't think I'm gonna make it....

We just finished up. Did not get to set the height or get an alignment.

We were done, went for a test drive only to find out that the instruction forgot to mention one small thin that almost had the suspension go through the hood.


So we had to break it down again...but I must say we broke down all four conrers prett fast the 2nd time. A pit crew would be ipressed

I also did not get a chance to do my alignmetn either, so I can't race it either.

Can I bring my bike ???
