Default Oil change and brake flush

Brake fluid was at least 4 years old so I decided to watch some YouTube and give it a shot. Not too bad!

Yesterday I took my 09 Cayman and autocrossed with the Metro NY Region Porsche Club of America at Tobay Beach. We all got 3 runs in the dry, and then the rain came and 4 runs in the wet were not any faster for me!

Did something FOR my 987.2 today. Went to the UPS office and picked up a PDK Sport Design steering wheel for it.

It's an easy install! Do a search, you find some good instructions on how to do the installation.

Apparently, only the Porsche dealer can program the indicator lights on the wheel. That, together with the reasonable price quoted by the dealer, makes me pick this project to contract out.

Not true... I've seen users use the Foxwell NT530 to reprogram the wheel so that the lights work. But if you want to farm out the work, that's certainly an option...

Is the Sports Dwsign steering wheel smaller in diameter and thicker than the standard one?

Alas, no. I held them face-to-face and detected no difference.
