My neighbor likes my new rack,...

Why the new rack? Was the original one bad already?
- CarreraSupercharged - 12-16-2011
The original rack held the hydraulic fluid like a colander,...
I had to top off the fluid pretty much before every rides. This is a known problem for the 964s and 993s.
My rack was sent to Rack Doctor in North Carolina, the guy is quick and very knowledgeable. Turnaround time was only 3 days.

Looks awsome,...

While I was into the painting mood, and since I did such a great job, I dissassembled the front shocks assembly, polished the stut mounts and painted the springs yellow, with a dash of purple on the top mount and adjusting collar,..!!!

So I ended up replacing the front control arm busgings, the tie rods, the ball joints, and the drop links.
In the midst of all this I forgot to wash the fender wells...:?

Keep up the great photos. That is a pretty impressive "spruce-up".

I don't think the paint job/polish story is going to fly with inspectors.
