    Might be come problem that is local to you, as I saw them as soon as he posted them and still have them up. smn

    Tires

    These days my preference is Bridgstone Pole Position for summers and Pirelli P-Zero winters for the rest of the year. Every time I try something else, I end up regretting it, including the Toyo's that are currently on the SHO and that I plan to get rid of shortly. pax, smn

    Anyone have a Medium Willow Green?

    Once you fix the cam sprockets and keep in mind that the transmission was not designed for stop light racing, the Gen III becomes a remarkably reliable and able sports sedan, easily able to equal or better the 3 series BMWs of its day that it was designed to compete with. Its low production...

    Idle rising in park

    As pointed at above, its not likely that the mufflers really had anything to do with it, but rather than removing their back pressure helped for the time being reduce some other cause to where the surging stopped. So, you still have the original problem, just not that particular symptom. IAC...

    First Real Drive

    Thanks Eric. I suppose I should go looking about to find that. I admit it is not a great concern these days, as if I am going to go that fast, I do it in the 911 these days. But you never know. I will see what I can find. pax, smn

    First Real Drive

    :) There is that. But I do not do that often enough in the SHO for it to matter, really. Did anyone ever come up with a way to fix that? I recall a lot of discussion about it forever ago, but do not remember what the conclusions were. pax, smn

    Dirty Girl's stranded

    I will look around and see if I can find it. I used to have it on Photobucket. OK, gone from there as they are no longer a free service, I guess. I will have to look a bit more. The temp gauge on the OEM instrument panel is for coolant, that is, the temperature of your water/antifreeze mix...

    Welcome. I hope you get many happy years from yours. '98s are the best, of course. ;) pax, smn

    Dirty Girl's stranded

    Yes. I put in 4: Oil pressure, oil temperature, transmission fluid temperature, and volts. A 4 gauge cluster fits in where the ash tray was very nicely. pax, smn

    is using the 91 octane,

    Well, if we are going to talk back in the day, when I was running mine all the time forever ago I kept careful records of fuel use as an indicator for two years in a row, the first all regular 87 gas and the second all premium 91. Fuel consumption was enough lower with the 91 that it made the...

    Refresh engine or leave it alone

    Oh yes. Pretty much all the back roads on The Island north of the Malahat are never really patrolled, so you can drive them about as fast as you want to try. So that is the central island all the way up to the northern tip. Its a lot of remarkable road. Saltspring is a really strange place...

    Ignition Coils and Plugs Opinions, Thoughts, Suggestions

    Going in the other direction, I seem to recall one set of cam sprockets that failed in the upper 30,000 range. It has been my impression that they will all fail eventually, the only real question being time. When I was tracking it and it was a very common topic among owners the average seemed...

    See, if you lived on The Island, you would not need to do all that traveling every six months. ;) pax, smn

    Refresh engine or leave it alone

    Very interesting. Where are you at, Jim? I am over on Vancouver Island. Should you ever be up this way, or I down wherever you are at, I would be most interested in taking a look at your project. What have you done with tires and wheels? And does the switch from 6 to 5 speed mean you have...

    Refresh engine or leave it alone

    How difficult was it to fit that V8 into your 968? I have run across quite a few Porsches that have had motor transplants of one sort or another, but I doubt I would go that route for mine. I have owned it since 2012 and am still thrilled by it every time I take it out on a back road here...
