Stunning. What a great part of town. Love the Coburg Bar. Nice photo spot too, the colors are very muted. Broke my foot so I can't drive, but hope to be out of the garage soon.
Got some replacement badges for the rims. Called about getting a tune done to push the HP.
Let me know who’s tune you are going to get. I’m trying to find a custom tuner but haven’t found one yet. Apr makes a good one. It’s $500 plus install.

Very nice. Can I ask you where you got the badges? I lost one.
Not today but over the past few days I put it up on the quick jacks to finally find the source of my oil leak. So I did some cleaning and even removed the driver's intake to get a better look. I've always suspected it was the accordion hose that went to the bottom of the AOS but when I removed the hose it seemed fine and when I inspected the o-ring it also seemed to be fine. Is there something else in that area that may leak over onto that hose? I'll still end up replacing the o-ring regardless

Wish I could find a set of those pedals by your broken foot!
The suspension and braking refresh project is complete! Entire new OEM suspension kit from FCP Euro including all the coffin arms, trailing arms, dogbones, etc. New tie rod ends, and sway bar drop links, and sway bar bushings all the way around. Koni active struts, with new mounts, bearings, and bumpstops factory springs reused. Brembos completely removed, torn down and chemically stripped. New seals and dust boots and complete cosmetic restoration. Replaced the soft brake lines while all was apart and reinstalled everything with Zimmerman coated rotors and Textar pads. Ordered the Motive brake bleeder and boy did that make the job easy!
While it was in the air and disassembled I scrubbed years of grime out of each wheel well and off the aluminum bearing carriers. I went through A LOT of Simple Green. I can honestly say I'd eat off of any surface at all four corners. All that's left before I reinstall wheels and set it down is to touch up a couple assembly nicks on the calipers, and then a little more cleaning of some other bits underneath: starting with the front air dam I removed in the process and the bottom side of the engine. Just because there's 109k on the odometer, that doesn't mean it has to LOOK it.
Very nice. Did you respray the brake calipers yourself?
Haven’t had a chance to drive it yet. From reading others’ accounts, it’s mostly the cables that transmit NVH.

appreciate the feedback
My current shifter feels pretty good and was debating doing the function first kit along with a 997 tower. But for a couple bucks more can just get the numeric
Put on my homemade center cap emblems. Now I have to clean/paint my wheel bolts. Oh, and I just discovered that my car has early onset black vent foam disease.
Just had the 3-way speaker upgrade and headunit trim arrive from Rod at CAI. Let me just say, holy crap he did an AMAZING packing job as well as completely underselling the fact that if you buy the speaker kit and opt for the door enclosures, it’s the OEM Porsche ones with the new speakers already mounted. Yeah, he states everything is already wired/mounted, etc, but this really is amazing. The crossovers are wired, terminated and loomed beautifully too.
Makes me wish I woulda just bought the amp from him instead of trying to throw the install shop a bone because they’d probably thank me for having everything already done and take that over the narrower profit margin on parts…
If you are even remotely thinking about a speaker upgrade and want the install to be as easy as possible (and I assume sound awesome), I would without hesitation pick Rod at CAI…
now I’m just waiting on the subs/enclosure to arrive.
Thanks, you're too kind. They are aftermarket of course, just trying to update the look with reversible mods. Stokes Tire in Santa Monica recommended them years ago and they were pretty reasonable.
