A day out of the garage, after all this pesky rain we've been having.

I just did the keyless entry mod to my '95 a few weeks ago, so I went crazy and bought the little door keyhole plugs in Guards Red from Eric @ Bumperplugs.com

The official 'cool' present (from the wife) is new floormats. They are off-limits under the tree right now.

The 'practical' presents (kind of like socks and underwear when I was a kid):
spark plugs
new belts
SAI valve
fuel filter
cap and rotors
replace cassette holder with console cup (I'm actually pretty excited about this)
DME relay (as a backup)

I really enjoy my console cup. It's a great, super cheap "mod". I keep my sunglasses in it.

Great replies, guys. I just remembered the one mod I've been contemplating and have been putting it off for years. After much saving and delaying gratification, it's time to get these:


"Porsche Silver Tire Valve Caps With Black Crest
Tire valve caps. Silver finish with black Porsche crest. Price is for a set of 4.
P-70500199$17.95"

I really should think about new floor mats as well. They're not that expensive and after 2-3 years of using the same mats, they're due for replacement. It really perks up the interior having the fresh mats. I'm guessing OEM mats will work best with that black on black Porsche script. I'd like to get the premium, plush Lloyds mats, but at $198 for a set they're too much money for me. I'd also want to get them in the BMW but if I stick with standard OEM mats in both cars, I can get them for about $100 each.

"Tailored to the exact dimensions of your Porsche's interior these floor mats feature an embroidered Porsche logo that projects a subtle sense of luxury and style. More importantly they keep the factory-fitted carpets in pristine condition protecting the value of your automobile. A cleverly engineered retention system ensures that the elegance you place under foot stays in position at all times.

My 993 already got an oil change, new brake rotors and pads, and a Rennline pedal set. She will be getting a detailing to, as soon as the snow clears enough to get her out of the driveway...

An uninterrupted day in the garage, cold beer, Leonard Skynard. Oh and for the car, a great wax job.

AGAIN????????????? Gotta drive the car first. Then it can get dirty.

Sorry about that Big A, I couldn't resist.

Other than that, I'll be buying an ipod with globs of memory. Changine CDs are getting real old.
