  1. Not to go too OT, but I thought that it was illegal in CA to have anything attached to your windshield (radar detector, GPS, Sat radio, etc.) Any mention of that by the officer? Ed
  2. I had a PPI done on a 2003 Turbo yesterday. The work was done by the folks at Kahlers in the SF East Bay area. I received a verbal "the car is great" on the phone at which time I then authorized a compression test. When I asked about overrev information, the person said he didn't have that handy but would call me back with it. After the compression test was done I received a call indicating that the results were excellent at 185 on all cylinders but when I asked about the overrevs again he said that there were no issues at all on the report. Their full report (17-page fax) is attached. There are minimal Range-2 ignitions (only 27, but generated recently) and from looking at the Range 1 ignitions it seems like the current owner likes to drive the car to redline (which based on the various threads I've read doesn't seem to be a problem.) When combined with the compression test results, I have no reason to believe that the engine was damaged. The person at Kahlers said that this car is in excellent condition. But honestly, I am underwhelmed by their report. This being my first PPI that went to conclusion, I'm not sure what to have expected in terms of detail but for some reason I was expecting more. Most (99%) of the stuff on the report doesn't mean anything to me so I'm putting it out here for your feedback. So unless one you guys sees something on the report that indicates impending doom, I'm flying out Thursday to pick this car up. Thanks. Ed [edit - attachment removed]
