What are paying for a bore scope for your 996/997?

Local Indy shop quoted me $950 for it. Seemed a bit high since my friend just had it done and paid $243 for it. I asked where that number came from and she said they have to remove the spark plugs and that’s 6.5 hours.

WHAT?! I’m a home mechanic and it doesn’t take 6.5 hours to remove and replace the plugs. I’m not even angry; I’m incredibly disappointed.

Can we, as a community, not be Corvette owners with boomer boards, please?

If you’re going to brag, at least don’t make it make it about things like CarPlay that has been standard in most cars for well over a decade.

I had a career transition six years ago. Haven't been to the track, largely because I put on a lot of weight. Bought a set of RS Taichi 2pc leathers a few years ago as aspirational gear to fit into one day. Well, I've lost some weight and now I can get into the pants, but they feel too long and loose from the knee down. Jacket's fine, especially if I wear a back protector.

Look for a new set of pants on Revzilla and the offering are few and far between. Were are find decent 2pc leathers these days?

I'm pretty set on 2pc with a full circumference zipper. My life used to revolve around the track, but now the versatility of a two piece suit suits me better as I will be at the track only a couple times a year.

Any insight would be MUCH appreciated!
