Well the tuning is done adding a few more deg. of timing and I drove the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) and it's amazing!!! Pulls like crazy and feels so planted not to mention the SOUND (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

I now know why many have raved about a 901 build by Thomas, The shifting was tight and smooth (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) I'm on a high like no other and charging my GoPro for tomorrow to post some video. cant wait!!! Still have a few electrical issues but nothing big. Dead short in the wiper motor and turn signal issues.



Great news Andy! What an amazing transformation and rescue! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smiley_notworthy.gif)

Thanks everyone!!!

My first drive was a bit of a blur. Yesterday's drive set in better and drove it home the long way today and got a better feel for it and was able to take in the moment. Of course it started to sprinkle but I didn't care. Just kept driving until the running lights went out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) but signals and brakes were still working. still have some electrical bugs.

Where is the full/low points on the -6 dip stick? 9 quarts in and still not hitting the stick. I'm happy with the ride height on the car, What do you guy's think??

With your system, it should hold about 13 quarts (volume of lines, oil cooler). I start with 8 and generally wind up putting 10 in which shows about 1 quart low on the 911 dip stick with my system.

Keep it up to temp and add a few more quarts. Check the stick after each addition. On the "real" six I think there is just a bump or hole for full.

Andy, my new OE dipstick has an indent, then about 1/4 inch after the indent it has a line with "max" written. My OE six dipstick is somewhere in a box with old parts, but I don't think it had a line or "max" written on it IIRC. I have a 2.2L with stock oil lines. I take 9.5 quarts to hit right at the "max" line.

Sounds like you need to add & check to fill your system. Remember to keep track of how many quarts you add!
