So the car's always had some weirdness in the clutch pedal -- sometimes engagement wasn't very consistent, and other times it wouldn't return to the top. A new kinematic clutch lever fixed that today. What a difference -- the clutch take up feels like a Honda's now

oh man totally forgot about this thread but here's a photo from late last year with the mismatch wheel setup:

(also, if you're curious, the side windows are tinted with formulaone stratos 70, which is very blue)
got rid of the wheels, cause i needed the cash, but ended up washing the car for maybe the second time since i've owned it?

back on solid-spoke turbo twists
since then, the original starter failed, so i had a 996 GT3 bosch jam put in -- -- fit well, cheap, fires up the car faster, worthwhile upgrade.
next steps: buy weird wheels again, then i need a new front windshield because whomever put the current one in didn't do such a great job and it leaks lmao

For what it is worth, I recently had new Porsche-sourced Pilkington glass fitted to my 993. The windshield was $1200 + tax from the dealer, and the labor to fit it was $600 from a 911 aircooled specialist shop, taking two days (24 hours to bake + cure before driving/vibrations and fitting the exterior rubber seal). That labor charge was with me removing the interior dash top beforehand.
Contrast this with a quote that I got from a local generic glass installer - $450 including labor using either XYG or Fuyao glass, taking only a few hours. What a difference!

Why would you need to remove the dashtop beforehand? Porsche (when they knew what they were doing on the 993 back in the day) didn't remove the dashtop to fit a new screen - they just used the templates?

2) I am fussy about my leather covered dash top, so I wanted to remove it just to avoid any potential damage to the delicate leather.
3) I was doing wiring work in the area anyways (for a powered rear view mirror with video input) so I had to remove the dash top.

Ah ok - that makes sense in your case.
