I did it! took the Porsche out for a, kind of, first drive.
It was a terrible day to go on a shakedown run but we didn't run into any problems so I think it was a success! Temperature was a little about freezing and it rained all morning. Roads were heavy with salt/gravel that they LOVE to spread down here in the south-west corner of Wisconsin.
Amazingly the nearly bald tires and occasional encounter with ice gave the car no problems. Traction control and ABS are functional. The airbag light that now has a light bulb in in unfortunately is lit up all the time.
Engine temps never rose above half on the gauge. Oil pressure stayed above 3 bar the whole time (was hovering around 2 bar on the drive home from SC). Tires held air. The car smelled hot and oily by the time we got back to the garage and the high+rough idle had returned which is disappointing.
I noticed that the car still has a bit of a miss when accelerating between 3-4k RPM which I am hoping is related to the same problem as the high idle.
It is on the project list!!
Cheers,
Gabe
