First Time Owner Just Purchased / How Did I Do?

Mine did come with records with service records and the Porsche dealer who I bought it from was the one who serviced it.
Some things I have done:
Change water pump (Saw some slight leakage marks)
Install new AOS (stock AOS is prone to failure, but the modified aftermarket one is about $1600 so I replaced with another stock one.)
Replace all plugs and coils (coils tend to crack. 3 of mine were cracked)
Install 3rd radiator
Install Soul performance exhaust. Full headers to tip replacement. (Best modification I made.)
Replace suspension with Bilstein PSS9 B16 coil over suspension. (Second best mod. Original had 85K miles and was worn out.)
Replace serpentine belt
Replace air filter
Replace front emergency release switch
Replace outer tie rods
I plan on installing a deep sump oil pan kit in the near future.
I like working on cars which is why I did all of this. Not all of it had to be done obviously, but it is fun for me. The one thing I had to have done was Porsche fixed small dent I put in the passenger door backing a jet ski into the car. Yes, I was mad as hell at myself for that one!
