We've had the satin black tips installed on our F360 for about two years with no discoloration or chipping.

I didn't know about the actual rain, but I just KNEW that checking the weather to rain had to my in the routine.

Went to the Fabspeed Cars & Coffee event - some nice cars showed up... it's sad when the Porsches are the "low end" of the cars gathered. I hate being outnumbered by Ferrari and Lamborghini.
Yeah, that car was in great shape. There was a nice F430 as well, but I didn't post that one. To be honest, the F360 has always been my favorite.
I agree, we need a good drive so that we have an excuse to get together. I'm sad that I don't have time to organize one this year - I'll gladly drive to any reasonable location for a get-together.
I was actually tempted to drive to MD or NY for the drives that are happening there this weekend.... the NY to VT drive was a little too long for me (being a 2 day event) and the MD drive was a long way to go for a 45 min drive, so the Fabspeed event was a nice compromise - some great cars and a good bunch of people.
Thanks! Sadly, the photos do not do the cars justice - really nice cars with so serious modifications.. the blue lambo had a complete Fabspeed upgrade from transmission to exhausts... what an incredible noise.
Dig that red slant-nose.
Went to the PCA Krispy Kreme gathering in Orange this morning.
There was a pretty incredible 997 Turbo, putty gray, 20" wheels (a bit much, but matching gray accents), and carbon fiber diffuser and other CF bits.
Best part about that drive is I've still got a dozen Glazed.
Well my group was pure bred 100% Porsche.......... 1 Porsche.
I did run into a couple Ford GT50's on the way there....
This was my favorite car there today.
Wayne, thanks for posting these. I made it over to the show - but by the time I got there, only about 5 cars remained, including the slant nose, a 993, a new 997S, and the red 360 spyder. I love the 360 also - beautiful car. The 348's were nice and that lookes like a great example. They can be bought relatively inexpensively as they are not considered among the more desirable F-cars. I was out last night in Bryn Mawr and stopped at Algar to gaze into their showroom. They have lovely fly yellow Enzo right up front. Interesting car, but just a bit out of my price range.
I'm amazed that he drove there at all - he did give me some excuse about having hurt his back, so I figured that it was another "I'm on call" kinda day.
Wayne, I agree!
I can imagine his morning went something like this:
8:07 - Should I go to the car show? Hummm....
9:13 - Yeah I think I'll go.
9:15 - Is it going to rain? Phil walks outside then checks the Weather forecast on TV and the Internet.
9:27 - OK, no rain in the forecast
9:28 - Which car should I take?
9:33 - If I take the Audi TT, what happens if the top won't work?
9:48 - If I take the C4S, what happens if the little green circle thingie comes back on?
9:51 - How far is is to the car show?
9:58 - Phil gets on line and does a Map Quest to get the mileage for the trip.
10:07 - OK not too far, I guess I could take the C4S.
10:13 - Phil pulls the C4S out of the garage
10:14 - Wait, that mileage to the show was only one way. I'll end up driving twice those miles!
10:15 - Phil pulls the car back into the garage
10:17 - Should I go to the car show? Hummm....
10:31 - Yeah, I'll go to the show.
10:33 - Phil starts up the C4S and sees white smoke coming from exhaust.
10:35 - In a panic, Phil gets on Rennlist and searches for "white smoke"
10:47 - Phil is relieved to find that is normal if car was started but not fully warmed up and started again.
10:51 - Phil has his wife start the C4S so he can look for the white smoke. No white smoke. Good to go!
10:53 - Leaves for the car show.
11:13 - Arrives at the car show and sees 5 cars.
11:37 - Phil looks at his watch. Time to go. Sun gets brighter after Noon... could damage paint.
11:58 - Arrives back home
11:59 - Pulls car into garage. "Whew, got the car in the garage just in time!"
12:01 - Phil walks into the house and thinks to himself "WOW, that was fun! I'll have to go earlier next time."
Aww Ed...nice pics. I was in Murrieta at 6am but had other prior engagements 'till 10.
I do miss a run or two, seems like you were missing a good run.
Hope it was fun. Did you go all the way to the top? or to Julian?
I love it and that was actually about right on timing also. I exchanged emails with him at 8:25 and he was on the bubble about going and he later told me that he actually arrived around 11am.
Just up and down then turned around and did it the opposite way. I had someone coming by to look at my Dad's Crossfire at 11 so I needed to be back.....I haven't seen any runs lately on the forums. I haven't been looking much either so I'm probably missing them.
Thanks! My wife still hates it.
Yeah, I know. It's sad.
The funny thing is that it was Phil that convinced me to go to this thing, then it was HIM that was on the fence about showing up.
I took my son along and he had a blast. You should have seen him checking out the undersides of the cars and the wheels. It was really funny.
Great pics! I've been itching for a group drive. I missed the Palomar Mtn./Temecula Winery run a couple of months ago because my body guy was doing as I asked (taking his time). But now that I have her back, I'm up for something like this. Considered heading up to Orange yesterday, but my calendar was already full... (any reason to cruise up the I5 next to Camp Pendleton is a good reason - and it would have been a great day for it...) Anyway, I've been lurking around on the 6speed regional forums - West/So Cal - looks like they do things once in awhile...
rudy
Tim, I hate to tell you how accurate your timeline is and how goddam funny your post is.
Here's the way my day actually went:
6AM: Checked the weather forecast and radar on computer.
7-8AM: Tried to eat breakfast but too upset watching a line of storms heading this way.
8-10:30AM: Detailed the car for the "show."
10:55AM: Drove to show after the roads thoroughly dried out after sun "peeked out" from behind the clouds.
10:55-11AM: Yes, I actually DROVE THE CAR TO THE SHOW!!!!
(However, the show was exactly 2 miles from my house).
11:30-11:35AM: Drove home and put car back in garage.
11:36-11:37AM: Reinserted battery charger
11:38-3PM: Took nap - long day.
That's the sad thing - the roads were dry and there was no rain in the forecast until the evening... oh, at least 12 hours away from the time that he was checking out the weather reports!
It's amazing that he ever drives the car if he's worrying about rain that far in advance of a 2 mile drive.
Hey, what do you think of these tips? Fabspeed is going to start selling them for the 996 next month - satin black quad tips.
This photo was taken of a 997S that had them.
I really like those tips! Get them!
While you are in a "modding" mood, call Eric and order some Painted Bumperettes! NO, I have not given up on that one!
I have a mind like a steel trap.... nothing gets in and nothing gets out!
Wayne, those tips in the pic look awfully shiny for satin black, I like the look but there is no way on earth those are worth $450!
Phil, I'm just glad the Porsche got to stretch its legs a little, rain or shine!
- Hans
Those are the chrome tips - Fabspeed is going to have them available in black satin, which is what Wayne wants.
Yeah, must have gotten the Porsche up to 35 MPH or so, and damned if I didn't hit 3000 RPM. Very exhausting morning.
Wayne it was a pleasure meeting you and your son this weekend at the show. Your son was very enthusiastic towards the blue Murci, I wish I had the camera at the time he was laying on the ground underneath the car checking out the exhaust work
We had a great turnout and we thank everyone for joining Fabspeed for our "Cars and Coffee" event. Here are some more pictures for those who weren't able to attend:
Jay - it was great to meet you also. You managed to pull together a great collection of cars!
So tell me about those tips - cost? How durable is the finish?
It's O.K. because we are having another "Cars and Coffee" event July 18th. Wayne the satin-black quad tips will be available for your 996 within a month. We've had the satin black tips installed on our F360 for about two years with no discoloration or chipping.
Wayne,
You need to go over to Phil's house ASAP and check on him. He is acting like he is going to go the the "Coffee and Cars" meet two times within 5 weeks. There must be some sort of crisis at his house, or maybe he is delusional. Please check on him. I am very concerned!
No more delusional than usual. I'm just in a coffee frenzy.
Weather permitting, of course.
But, I am planning on going. Life is short and all that, but damn - my car is gonna rot if I don't drive it.
you know, all it takes is for someone to show her the right spot and she'll realize what she has been missing all her life... I'd love to see you ride her hard and put her away wet.
Well, I just got back from a nice drive on the backgrounds.... 5 cars and some fun backroads - it was great to see Phil, Redridge and Chsu74 again - I have to admit that having three aeros side by side looks mighty fine and I always enjoy meeting up with their owners.
Tim, yes, Phil proved me wrong and did show up this morning. The first thing he said when I saw him this morning was not a comment about being up so early to go driving, but complaining about the roads being more damp than he anticipated. Despite my best efforts to get his car wet he managed to finish the drive without a single waterspot... I will say that there's plenty of dust on that car (I wrote my name on his back left bumper
), but no dirt.
At the end of the day I managed to put over 130 miles onto Phil's car and he only complained about it once.
...we've gotta do this again soon!
Thanks to Wayne for putting this together, and for everyone showing nice. Very nice group of people who love their cars. Wayne - the only waterspots on my car now are those where I missed drying it after giving it a good bath after the drive. I actually put 150 miles on it today (!!!!).
It takes driving some nice twisty back roads to realize just how competent (yes, and fun) these cars really are. I had a blast today!! Nice to meet everyone!!
Now it's off to my therapist for a good 2 hour session
150 miles! Whoo-hoo!!!
Seriously, you gave it another bath after you got home? I thought you had family stuff to be doing.
Did you wash the smiley face I left on your bumper? (j/k)
Tim, look, the grass does grow in front of Phil's car.
Absolutely - yeah, family's here but they understand my compulsion for a clean Porsche! Funny, the grass wasn't there a month ago when I parked it there.
Pollen - couldn't you tell from my sneezing? I can't even see thru the TT windows. Car's been outside and unwashed for a week - with rain coming, no point.
Same with my Acura. I hate this time of year for that reason.
BTW, did anyone notice the Police car as we drove through Frenchtown? He was driving the opposite direction and immediately slowed when he saw me. When he saw you guys behind me he came to a complete stop and only continued when he saw my put my indicators on to turn left and cross the bridge into PA. It was very odd.
Hi Wayne,
Just got back home and relaxing for the night after getting up at 5AM for the drive today. I loved every mile of it and enjoyed Bucks County very much. Thank you for organizing the drive today. I did notice the police in Milford going opposite way. I thought it was also because of that Stingray Conv that sounded so sweet at the intersection.
I will also vouch that Phil actually asked his beast to rev past 5K rpm because I smelled cosmline burning off his engine driving behind him. I am sure it raised all kinds of red flags in Phil's head.
I had a quick drive in Ferd's car and that supercharger boost is addiciting from 4K rpm on.
Glad that you had a good time and that you go home safe. It was great to see you again - Both your car and Ferdinand's are very fine vehicles.
Amazing that three cars can look the same, but perform so differently. I appreciate you letting me see what your newly flashed ECU can do - that has a nice amount of torque. I think I just added a new toy to my shopping list.
As for cars, yeah, the stingray was nice, as was the blue Ferrari 308 that we passed on the way into Washington Crossing - a rare color for a Ferrari.
...so, now we just have to find another excuse for a drive.
Great to meet you today! The drive was great fun - and yes, I revved the car to well over 5K. Made it to 97MPH passing some guy on one of the straights. All the flags in my head were checkered!
Guys,
Sounds like you had a great time! Thanks for "discussing" this back and forth. It almost make me feel like I was there..... in my f@*kng Honda!
Phil, I am glad you made it! 97 MPH? You salty dog!
Great pics Wayne!
97mph! I'm impressed. Here I was thinking that Phil was slowing everyone down and he was working hard to keep up with me.
I love the image of Phil running the home straight against Nigel Mansell in his head.
Tim, you were there in spirit, even if your honda wasn't there with us.
