I once heard fitness described as the ability to complete your daily tasks easily, plus one emergency. It’s not the best explanation, but I like it when it comes to major car/home purchases. I like to make sure I have a vehicle that meets my daily needs, plus one unforeseen twist, that I won’t HAVE to replace on short…

I’m Robert Noaker’s aunt. I just asked his dad. He said Robert was averaging 1:38 in his timing. 🙂

Just pick a slightly different Porsche.

There have been lots of problems with chain guides. They break, shear, come loose and let too much slack into the timing chain that it skips and kaboom. Happened to my bud on two 4.0 V6 Ford engines in a row within 3 days.

Modern chains are pretty much maintenance free, changing your oil is the maintenance. The chain itself pretty much never fails, failures are usually guides or tensioners. Usually failures are from not changing your oil.

I have wrenched on dirt bikes, three wheelers, four wheelers, street bikes, scooters, Jeeps, a Defender, IROC Camaros, a 300k mile Maxima, and boats.

This is a wonderfully written piece. You really brought all these people to life in your writing and captured their world. I couldn’t stop reading. It was like I was standing on the street next to you talking with these guys.

I prefer the Power Wagon he made.

So from the looks of it, it’s basically a Gen. 2 Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust?

This right here is why those guys should pay you a consulting fee or just give you the first one off the line. Slap a poptop on it and watch the value of 80's Westfalias drop around the country in proportion to number of Torchfalias sold.

David I cannot thank you enough for reaching out. Your kind words are very much appreciated. Simply put there is nothing I would not do for my little girl. I have watched her grow and struggle for almost 6 years now. And she does so with grace and a joy that brings light to others around her. My car will remain for…
