You are right good sir š
Lots going on in the House. Little one is turning 5 š³ and sheās going on 16, so thatās been the focus. Head Coach for her soccer team and now she is playing softball. Time in the garage has been limited. Last time I took the Speedster out the muffler can blew apart. Been working with Greg to try and get my Speedster up to his shop so that he can make a replace can with something a little more durable (he built the custom exhaust for me so itās nice that he is taking care of everything. Coupe hasnāt sene much progress and Iām likely going to just give it to Greg and have his Team finish it all up since I donāt have much time anymore.
On a positive note, I couldnāt let my wifey be the only person with a daily driver Porsche. So I found this beauty down in San Diego. PCA owned, two owner, a rare āLaunch Editionā (yes, the VIN code has a special lunch code for the first very few model 997.2), 2009 Porsche 997.2 C4S with only 49k on the ODO. Nothing like the a@@ of a C4S. Full records, well maintained, garage kept, and just halls a@@. I slapped new tires on, completed the 50k, and checked the OBD (I have the cable and software to run diagnostics on the car). No over revs and no codes. Just perfect. The 997.2 IMO are the last of the true ādriversā care before electronics took over.
In true LongFella fashion, I ripped the Center muffler out, straight piped it and added the āgundo modā which slightly bypasses the two side mufflers. Itās sounds like a flat six should! Just rips through the PDK 7-speed.
Hope you all enjoy the update! The LongFella Family is still around and kicking. We do have this years SLO blocked in our calendar. Just need to get the room reserved. Hoping the coupe is done, if not, Iāve got the Speedster and maybe the wifey can drive the C4S ;-)
