Car is running good. Nothing needed as far as I know. Iron was up in last oil report to 16. Might be a one-off, will see...

Car is running good. This tank is 85 oct. No difference that I can perceive. Got the Blackstone report back and chromium is showing at 1 compared to 0 previously. Lead is still down at 2. Iron is up to 16 compared to 4-7 previously. Need to research Iron more on this engine.

Car is running good. This tank was 91. The new fill is 85. I can't tell or hear the difference at all. I put the 2nd bolt in on the Y cable. The new 17" rims and tires are correctly balanced now and seem right on. I ordered a new manometer so I can test the AOS. No symptoms of it having issues but I am curious to see if it is in spec. (4-6" /h2o). Car is dirty and in need of a good wash. Otherwise, no issues. Changed the oil at 96k (6k interval). Waiting on the Blackstone report.

Car is running good! Drop in mpg's because we had to re-balance the new rims. Spencer got it right and the car now drives smooth at 70-90. Anyway, a fair bit of high speeds thus the mpg's. Put the 2nd batt. cable bolt in so all done there. The Porsche shouldn't need much for a while as all is well. Oil change coming up in about 180 miles at 196,000 - 6k interval this time.

Car is running good. Got the new front 7.5" rims and mounted them last Fri. The weights fell off one wheel so had to go back today for a balance. Not sure I like the balance but it seems to change a lot with which road I'm on. I'll watch it for a while and see if it is normal or not.

Car is running good. Ordered new front rims in the 7.5 / 17 with 52mm offset. Decided to do the next oil change at 6k instead of 5k to see how that goes. Didn't drive the car for a week because of cold and snow. Nice to have it back on the road. This tank is also the 91 octane.

Friday mounted up the new Nitto Motivo's on the 17" Fuchs. The fronts bottomed out on the brake calipers so had to ad the 10mm spacers. Had a vibration at 70-80mph so today took the car in for a re-balance. Success! I have a email in to Mr.Fiat re. the front wheels but have not heard back yet. I think they are for a 964/993, not the 996/997. My mistake and I doubt they will help me. Can't say I'd blame them! I do like the tires and it does seem more comfortable and less jarring over rough roads. The trouble with the 10mm spacers is that now the tires stick out 10mm beyond the fenders. Still, the set-up is good.

Car is running good. Been using 91 octane. Can't really tell a difference from the 87 or 85 and the mpg's were better with the 85. However, we're also in winter and on winter gas so there's that. Still using the Liquid Performance for the ethanol. 94,600 miles so oil change soon. The new starter and Y cable are beautiful! Very quick starts now. I got the 17" wheels n and ordered new tires for them. Will be in on Sat. 225/50 R17 fronts; 245/50 R17 rears. Nitto Motivos. 60k warranty. Going for comfort and longevity!

Car is running good. Put in 91 octane this fill. This tank had 87 and I don't think the mpg's were great even though the driving was normal. I have the new starter and Y cable all ready to go. Just waiting for good weather which may come this Monday. I ordered the Fuchs in 17" and just waiting for those too.

Car is running good. I checked the cv joints and they have no leaks and look great. The starter and wire harness R&R look doable and Ihave all the parts - just need a good day. This fill is 87 octane and I also added a bottle of Oct. boost and the liq. perf. Checked tread depths and all tires are wearing even and look good. 42psi fronts and 46 psi rears looks to be right.

Car is running great. This tank was from Sterling to here plus 10 gal added here and then running that through. This fill I bought the 87 and we'll see how that does. Bought a new starter and wire harness to the starter to end the start hesitation when hot. Probably will install in the spring. No hurry.

Car is running well. This is the fill before trip to DM. # gal. is not exact. but is also accounted for in the first fill in the trip. 85 octane but 104+ added, so maybe ~ 87???

Car is running good. Flat tire (rt. rear) crossing the tracks north of Budweiser. Blew out the tire so had to tow and buy new. This tank was 91 octane from the pump and performed well. Didn't notice the blip at 2700 rpm as much but still there a bit. Put the regular in today with the Liquid Performance so will compare.

Car is running great. I filled this tank with pump gas 91 octane just to see how the mpg's is and how it runs. Will know more in a couple of weeks.

Car is running great. This tank included a trip to Boulder for lunch with Mike and Sue and Karl. A fair amount of stop and go from I25 to Boulder. Put the new front license plate bumper on the car this week. looks pretty good, might need to fit new keepers for the screws, however.

Car is running great. Changed the oil last week. 3Qts Evolve 5w-40, 2 qts. Molygen 5w-50, 15 oz. Cera Tec, 12 oz. Camgard. ~ 6qts. total and the oil level gauge is right where it should be. Ordered new braided brake hoses. Installed ball pins for the rear deck strut on the left side today. Two struts seems to be too much down force so not using 2 struts. Failed experiment!

Car is running great. This tank was mostly the Quadruple Bypass up in the mountains. 22mpg going up 36 coming down. Better coming down as engine cuts off fuel (DFCO) coasting. No issues at all - great car!

Car is running great. This is the top-off before the PCA drive on Sat. Tour begins in Wheat Ridge, up Clear creek canyon, over Guanells pass, Kenosha pass, Hoosier pass, lunch in Dillon. Probably home over Loveland pass.

Car is running great. Changed out the coolant flange and the alt bolt. The bolt went right in, no problem as the old bolt was bent. I left the added hose on the top of the coolant flange to give the oil fill tube more room to move upward. Everything seems good!

Car is running great - nice and smooth. I like the Evolve with CeraTec. No issues. I put the heat wrap on the oil filler tube. need to replace the coolant flange and the alt. bolt.

Orin Jct, Wy to here and then used a fiver in addition to a regular fill. The car is running great. Got two new rear Continental tires. Then had Scott's do an alignment. Not sure I am 100% confident with the way they did the alignment. Camber is quite adjusted at the top of the FR strut, but no adj. on the FL strut. I'll talk with Brendan next week about what I'm seeing. But the car does drive nice with no pull. It's the tire wear I'm concerned about. I'd asked them to set it up with neutral toe and camber front and rear as per the Dempsey 100 projects book. The car is really smooth and quiet. I feel the Liquid Performance is working and the CeraTec seems fantastic. And mpg's seem improved.
