probably. i was running hpde1 for the first time this year. i was wearing number 42. the second day, second session i came really close to overheating so i had to cut that session short and then take the final session a bit easier.

haven't decided on a class yet... so i'm starting the car out as a spec 944 build for mostly financial reasons (so it's keeping the 2.5 for now). i can always move on from there.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

wow... forgot about my thread here.
anyway, update time
the '86 is now my parts car. back in may i bought an '88 in much better mechanical shape. It finally passed state inspection on saturday after i replaced a tie rod end, steering rack boot, and tail light lens. i'm currently trying to track down a vac leak so she'll run a bit better (currently idles a tad high, not bad really).

after that's done, i should do the timing belts since I don't know how old the current ones are and look into the oil leaks. the front seals seem fine, I do have some oil leaking from the rear of the engine (not sure of source... haven't really looked)
