Changing my starter. Supercharger setup makes this a much larger job than in a regular 997.

👍

Thanks. Actually had an intake leak a few years ago that made the passenger side run a bit hotter that day and why the coloring isn't even. If I didn't have a couple 928s to fix, I could get out the polisher and brighten it up again like I did when I first installed it (everything but the cats were used).

LOL. That's a v-bamd clamp that couples the muffler outlet to the tailpipe.

More polished exhaust stuff, just for you

These were used Cayenne Turbo secondary cat bypass pipes.


One polished and one as they arrived

Both finished

From an anonymous source *cough*..a guy right now is paying $4500 for an oil change/filter, air filter, pollen filter, pre filter, plugs, and key battery.

Pays 13.7hrs.

Bet she gets it done in 6-7. Tiny hands.

Creating a filter that only allows pollen through it is an engineering marvel and a steal at only $4,500.00

Knowledge is what you get when you do read the directions.
Wisdom is knowing that it is important to read the directions.

Curious leads to fun - because there are no directions!

Sunglasses - what you need anytime you are near one of Petes cars!

And they are not "Classic Certified".
