A blog about getting a Porsche replica kit car built in California. A very expensive endeavor I do not recommend to the faint at heart.

1000 miles on Spyder now.
Just turned 1000 on the clock, have had carburetor issues. The Weber IDF's are poor in terms of fuel economy and the jetting is still not quite right. I had a low speed idle circuit clogged that caused much backfiring out the tops of the carb's as well as tailpipe. My plan is to have a backup set of carb's available, so the car is not down if this happens again. The Spyder has been a blast to drive this first year. With fall approaching I will likely get a few more weekends of driving fun in before Spidey get's beaded down for winter.
