Default Today? Everyday...

Leveled headlamps, cleaned boot, checked to see if I need driver motor mount... Sorry for large photos... If anyone has tips on clearing up lenses on the housings, it would be appreciated. I will search as well.

Its from Suncoast.

It mounts on the outside vent housing, not on the louvers. I've been using it all week and other than my thermos being a bit tall and awkward to get in and out of the holder, IT ROCKS!!!

(Hopefully) balanced out the rear wing with more front aero via Joe Toth canards mounted with 3/16” rivets.

Sebring test in 6 days.

Swapped summer Michelin 4s 19’s for all-season As3+ 18’s, put on some 997 Turbo rear brake ducts. Put Akebono Euros on all four corners to see how I like them. Only tricky part for the ducts was a little front trimming around the caster control arm and on the top back by the brake lines. It took me 30 minutes of test fitting and judicial trimming then copied it for the second...60 minutes of fiddling in total for the ducts. Sorry, dark garage so pics were horrible.

Drove to the Porsche Club weekly breakfast this morning - 13 degrees at 6:30 AM After the car sat out for a while, I heard some suspension noises - like creaking bushings - from the right front that were not there when the temp is above freezing.

Jacked her up to change a leaking header gasket and saw wires sticking out of my tire...Rush down to get my new Sumi's mounted and back to the header an hour later. The cheap headers flange has warped and I had to pull a manifold (temp fix) off of my other motor...Snowball effect today as the last bolt farthest back took me about an hour to get back in! 45 min job that took 3 hours...Then there's the guy that in the van that power soaked me on purpose while I was riding a back to go get my truck! Lol.
