I got that a few months ago when my cams went into a bind and had to tow it from the house to work. It took 45min to get it on the flat bed, and the driver almost gave up. We had to build ramps to get it on the flat bed.

I have been going for 4 years now and this year I went as a vendor and sponsored the first ever Porsche parking. It wasn't huge but the ammount of exotics have been dramatically growing each year. It is a ton of fun! I will be back next year to host the Porsche parking again so make sure to sign up once registration opens.

UPDATE: I was schooled by some others on rennlist, that the coolant level sensor is a dry sensor, in that, it does not come in contact with the coolant. The sensor is housed in a dry "cavity" (if you will), so coolant should not ever leak from that cavity. I pressure tested the overflow tank, and all is well. It must have been a loose worm clamp. Lesson to self -- don't buy cheap-*** clamps from Harbour Freight!

You installed the supercharger your self? If true can you give me more info? I'm entrusted in doing it to my. I'm trying to get a budget for the upgrade but also entrusted in what else do I need to do to the engine? Does the actual engine need some upgrades to be able to handle the horse power and what is the horse power upgrade?


Glad to hear your going to be back on the road soon. I know how hard it is to drive something else in the mean time.

See https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...r-install.html

Bummed... the vacuum test I did last night indicated no problems, but, indeed, there is. I've contacted my indy to see if the tank (part only) can be replaced under warranty.
