I am so on the fence about the LEDs vs. stock. I can’t get enough of my stockers but some of the LEDs look great too.

My dad got them for me as a gift, I had a small crack in one of the stockers from when I bought it and he noticed and surprised me with LED’s.

I sold the stock ones way too cheap and have regretted it ever since.

Don’t tell him I’m trying to trade them away haha.

Good-looking paint. I need to get that done.

Is that a gravel driveway? I like that a lot too. How do you keep the weeds out?

I second the opinion that it is likely the ambient air temperature sensor. I think it's correct position is snapped in. Mine was hanging like that until I cleaned my radiators, then I snapped it back in.

Not gravel, actually. Just some of that great rocky (and porous) New England asphalt! You don't want to fall on this stuff.

Default Currently I’m giving my 996 new legs

Some of you may already know what’s going on with my C2 but for those of you who don’t I bought an eBay Porsche and have been restoring it on my YouTube channel.
Currently I’m completely refreshing the suspension front and rear. I’m going with Koni Active Shocks and Meyle/TRW for the arms and linkages. Lots of dirt but nothing too bad. I decided to repack them upper strut bearings, as they’re completely dry, instead of replacing them. The bump stops were strangely missing from all four shocks. The ABS/Brake sensor harnesses were also completely rotted away. That was not cheap to replace. Fun times.

Just completed this myself, I took off the Vogtland lowering springs, and put the stock ones back in, bottomed out too many times on these roads.
I think you'll like the Koni reds, nice ride, not quite like a Lexus, but a lot less like a go-kart.

Nice! Are they Active? Having a Lexus ride doesn’t sound good to me. 😳

I have not yet had the opportunity to toss it around in the corners , but so far seat of the pants meter says they are good to go, and yes, they are the Koni " special active" if that was your question. Feels better in the roundabouts, and the few rough roads I've driven on to date (maybe 50 miles)
I must add, I put new tires on as well, so, lot's of changes.
