My 1974 Porsche 911 coupe.  It has newly rebuilt
1978 3.0L engine, new K&N air filter, new tires, new black interior except front seats, new front spoiler,
tinted windows, sport steering wheel, new brakes, new rear shocks, new swaybar bushings in front,
new rear whale tail, new coil, new cap/rotor, various oil seals, complete shift bushing kit, new Bursch headers
 and exhaust, and a perfect 915 tranny that shifts like a dream.  This car is light, fast, clean, and has tons of torque.

in a Porsche 911 and it was fantastic!

My Porsche is gaining popularity with the locals :)

Clutch pedal helper spring:  it's a bitch!!!

If you have ever tried to put this thing back on or just doing it for the first time like me,
you know it's not an easy task.  Fortunately, after many beers, I came up with a solution.
The spring is short, strong, and almost impossible to stretch by human means...so don't!  I put the spring
in my vise, then pulled the long part back enough to squeeze in two quarters into the lowest part
of the opening between the coils.  Then I pushed the spring the other way and put 2 more quarters
in that opening between the coils.  Do this over and over until you're at the top.  Make sure you look how
the spring goes into the pedal cluster before doing this, because if you put the quarters in the wrong position,
you'll never get the spring in right.  It gets hard at the top, but not nearly as hard as trying to force the spring onto
 the pedal in the car.  Now, take your newly lengthened spring and place it roughly in position.  You'll probably have to
 push the pedal about half-way in to do it, but the spring will just drop right into place.  Once you get it, you'll wonder
why you never thought of this before, and will be thrilled the new feel of the clutch.  Don't forget to remove all that
car-wash money you just "squeezed" into your 911 :)
