You said it man. Nobody Fs with the Jesus.

But I'm so embarrassed. Of course it was Smokie!

Ouch! Bummer… at least it didn’t get the light! We’re you in the car? Or was a parking lot job with/without a note?

the hack works great, my car now sits at the middle of the 8 in 180F while driving and even in traffic at over 100F i didnt see over 200F on my engine temp guage, my oil pressure at idle never dropped below 1.2 bar.

Great useful mod!

I’m pretty sure it was Johnny (as in John Rambo) that Col. Trautman was addressing in that quote… Donnie was actually home singing cute songs with Marie while Johnny was fighting in the jungles of ‘Nam…

Thanks! I'm quite happy, but I'll be even more happy once it's totally done! However, since the car is now going into hibernation until we get a house, I'll probably have to work on some other projects

I've done a few things this week - front PPF removal, decals, and a number of other things in the past few weeks.

Only when the camera isn't rolling. No need to create evidence!

Finally dialed in the suspension with 3 trips to tech shop but I’ve finally hit gold
the Ohlins dialed in to 17F / 14R this has given me very good street control and the ride height is just perfect

I gave your video it's first 'like'. When you are a high roller like Hoovie, don't forget me.

It's been a busy few days. In the past 48 hours I:

Replaced the left door window latch (to fix a window drop issue), thanks to this EXCELLENT writeup by Rennlister @sweet victory
Switched out the center ashtray for the "non-smoker's" tray (Genuine Porsche, via eBay)
Traded out the obsolete CD holder for a much-more-useful center console upper cubby from Suncoast
Pulled the stereo to ship to Becker for Bluetooth retrofit
"Installed" this cup holder in the center armrest
Had the special "Colorado Edition" windshield replaced (massive crack)
Had new rear tires delivered to be installed before track day
Ordered coil packs and spark plugs for the next project

More projects planned in the coming weeks. Focused on getting everything fully functional and addressing a little deferred maintenance from the previous owner. The plan this year is to just get everything fully operational. Planning a full interior update for next year, to be documented in a future thread.

Much more useful

No more massive crack in line of vision. (At least for now.)

Definitely more useful than CDs. Haven't owned any in over a decade.

Nothing special, just an oil change and a top-down ride.

I gave mine a new wrap

Hey folks - new member here. So today (well, yesterday actually) I gave mine a makeover. Painted brake calipers and a Dark Gray Satin wrap. What do you think? I'll be adding the wide spaced P-O-R-S-C-H-E lettering to the rear shortly.
