I know, that's the plan. I'm going to inspect it tomorrow (hopefully) and see what shape it's in. If there are any issues, its get cleaned/resealed.

Cheap insurance. Carrera fuel lines are under high (50-80psi) pressure and are made of rubber. Rubber degrades over time. My car is 23 years old. The lines are < $150 new from Porsche. The biggest PITA about fuel lines is access - getting enough room to work inside the from suspension area and in the rear. Well, with the front and rear suspension out, there's plenty of room. So, WYIT, replace them. I'd rather spend $150 and a couple hours now than have one break on the way to VIR and pay for towing, lost DE weekend, the $150 for the lines and have to fight all the installed suspension to get them in. Or worse, have the car go up in flames.

Nothing is that fast. C'mon, be serious now.
