Burning Brakes
Went in to Haas Entertainment (Culver City, CA) and had them update the audio system with the Porsche PCCM system. Love how clean the installation looks.

I replaced a voltage regulator from Posche dealer. It turned out to be a Bosch packaged in Porsche packaging!
I was getting 14.2-14.6 last several months but I suddenly started getting 11.6 and a intermittent "battery" light AND the ABS light with the engine running. After getting a new Bosch voltage regulator installed, I am getting 14.2ish. I also replaced all belts. The belts had about 60K miles on them.
The ABS and battery lights have gone away!
I drove around about 1 hr with my wife and everything is good.
This project was easier than I expected.

Took the 993 to our local Cars and Cappuccino and saw some crazy large brakes on some late-model Ferrari.

Some Mickey Mouse DIY but it solved a continuous problem I’ve had with this vent horizontal slats always collapsing, preventing the ideal position to blow air on me. It’s not pretty but works after a few days using it. I’ll trim it up and i think it’s a GO
I’ve struggled to find a good solution for shade for the rear window. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t get the shade to stay up. See next pic for the final touch
This was my masterpiece. A simple piece of pipe insulation to prop the umbrella type sun shade, which I bought on Amazon. Not pretty, but works and easy to use.

Lowered the ride height, stoked to close the gap on the tires and fenders.

200 miles of country roads and twisty hwy for lunch at an iconic spot in CA. A great day in the 993...coolest part was that it all started by dropping my daughters of at school in the car.
