I am going to resist old age by continuing to stuff myself into my s2000 and Miata, continuing to shift gears and enjoy being beat to death by race suspensions.

This is a terrible idea. Please go bing watch Netflix w the wife and purge yourself from dreaming of building cars.

It sounds so simple now . However I spent the day going back to the manual and youtube to not screw up. At on point I had the pistons installed facing the wrong way . If I get this thing back together it will be a big accomplishment for me.

I took the day off to work on the Porsche. I was able to install the crank shaft and pistons.

I think the dinner bell just rang for more Miata parts!

I was interested . However I have to finish the Porsche project.

I used the email addressed to the first post.

I am calling the boss !

It has been 24 hrs. Why has Hollywood not attached these Miata parts to my car already?

I sent my wish list. Also need other Miata parts that may fall off of a race car.

It is a challenge to find and develop a good relationship with a mechanic or mechanics to help with your cars. Communication effectiveness and trust develops over time . I usually start with smaller projects and then build on the relationship over time. Rather than pick up the car and look at it when I get home I usually want to see it on the lift, Have them explain what they plan to do and then look the car over while it is still in the shop when I pick it up. They need to be patient w me because I am ...... A car guy.

The engine is back from the machine shop. The pistons and crankshaft are installed. I have another batch of Porsche parts on the way to begin sealing the engine and working toward reinstallation.

Looks great. Another red car in the TJ family.

I am glad you have joined the s2000 track community. There is great joy in driving the s2000 on the street and track.
