Anybody else stuck in Emden right now? Only been there a week so far but hearing about cars that have been there for 2+ months due to the strikes/backlog etc.

Mine has been there for a few days. Let’s see how it plays out.

Any one know what is involved with changing the gears in a 915 transmission? My car is geared for the track but it is less than ideal for daily driving. It is at 3800 RPM in 5th gear at 75 MPH. Can’t even take a phone call. Just plan on a transmission rebuild and swap gears while in there? Any shops in Orange County, CA that are recommended?

 

[FryingPan]

Yeah, it’s 2.5 hours from me. It’s just loud, spherical bushings all around, and no stereo.

Slap one of these in there and get to driving.

Race one and two of our start in Carrera Cup NA finished yesterday.

Race 1 Sebring



Race 2 Sebing




Our driver is Dan Clarke, after a snafu in qualifying he started the first race in 13th and the second in 10th.
Both these videos are great! Dan puts on a show.

I've been enjoying watching used Porsches sit unsold at eye watering "2020 free money chip shortage" prices with their owners too stupid to realize no one wants to pay MSRP/over MSRP for their 7 year old non-GT 911 with 30k miles.

And yeah I'm salty I sold my 991.2 C4 GTS for $103k in May 2020 about a year before prices skyrocketed because I was being FiNaNcIaLlY rEsPoNsIbLe

You might be better off finding another good gearbox and swapping it in. A few places do rebuilds, might be able to find one local in the LA area.

 

[NOR*CAL]

Maybe consider a G50 conversation?

It's not a big deal to re-gear one. Call Aase Motors in Fullerton.
