Installed Sprint booster and Cobb Stage 1 93 Octane tune/PDK Sequential Aggressive tune in addition to cleaning out my super dirty BMC air filters and the car now needs new tires. Up until just a week ago my Stock P Zeros were just fine, now they break traction (TC kicks in) when shifting from 2nd to 3rd on WOT. (55-58 Deg weather)
Loving the car even more..

Just a couple of bits and pieces swapping the chrome letters for Black . Anyone paint the AWE foil to match your car ? If so can you post a pic.

Great stuff! How much of a difference have the Numeric shifter and cables made to the operation of your transmission?

Completely transformed and well worth the price. The throws are really short, crisp and you feel connected to the transmission when rowing through the gears. I went with the 2mm spring per recommendation and would suggest the same to others. The original felt very long and sloppy.

Finally got rid of all the silver trim on my steering wheel. I used the Speedster Heritage Airbag which was much more expensive than the Bob Z method of just painting the airbag silver trim black. Speedster airbag part number is 9P1-880-201-AD-A34.

Nice. I had to procure a new trim ring to have it painted since one cannot remove the trim ring without destroying it. Should I assume the 992 airbags are a different size? They also have the Black trim ring. I checked Sunset and the part you used is $1,318.43 in case someone else wants to change it that way.

The work continues

Spark plug change:
2015 build date, 23,766 miles. Plugs were original and more torqued than I expected them to be.

Did the entire job with car on rhino ramps and wheels ON the car. Did not remove anything but spark plug heat shields

Couple of pointers, do NOT attempt this job without one of these:
(Magnetic Spark plug deep socket)




Amazon link Amazon link


This job is much easier with wheels off but can be done with wheels ON the car, just took longer (2 hours)

Here are the original plugs with 23K miles on them:

Passenger side:





Driver side:
