After admiring it on another 2003 C4S at the track, I decided to debadge Annie's ****. Somehow it is even sexier!

I still have a little ghosting to polish out; I suppose that's the price of 20 years' worth of adhesive tape and a fair bit of built up wax over the years. But I really love the clean rear end. It doesn't look like the paint is faded at all so I'm confident she'll look like she never had a badge.

Looking good. This is a winter 2023 project for me during an interior project.

Were you there early or late? I was parked one row behind and to the right of your car.
There were so many mint cars just in the parking area, not even competing!

This morning I installed a Better Bodies " Singer style " ducktail rear spoiler . I think the size is near perfect for a narrow body . I have been priming/sanding/priming/painting/clear coating for the last three weeks . It is held on with 3M tape and I used the supplied 3M 94 adhesion promoter . It seems to have layed down well time will tell if it flies off . Sorry for crappy pics and my hand prints all over it but I don't want to touch it until it fully sets .

Ah, yes, it's a little darker than Flame Blue.


I would love to wrap my 996 this color.

PCA UCR (Upper Canada Region) does this show ever year around the same time. It's the only public event of the year, check it out next year! $25 for car show entry or free admission to just attend. Have free Porsche only parking on the grass.

I got there around noon. I should have came earlier, way too hot then so I just did a quick lap around the show and left. Agreed that the parking area was full of great cars!

Oh, and finished the polish stage today and dressed with some PoorBoys Black Hole glaze. Plus a spy shot of some other coupes in the stable

Default Maf, kN cleaning oil change

So my car was throwing two codes and the fix finder said replace the maf. Tex squirrel told me to clean the maf. A couple of days ago I did, but the car started running rough. Anyway since my 3.8 Carrera s airbox is s tight fit, the hose from the airbox to the throttle wasn’t connected right and it was missing. The following day I disconnected the battery and went over it again and found the problem, Runing like a champ now, the CRC mass air flow sensor cleaner works wonders. I’m honestly thinking about cleaning the sensor now every 6 months with the oil changes. Anyway we got to Valvoline instant oil change showed them the coupon from National tire and battery and they changed my oil for $23, yes I supplied oil and filter. So this last oil change with Mobil one costed me less than $85 dollars and I got and Exxon Mobil $15 gas card to go along with it. Oil filter was great no debris. My original IPhone SE is out of space, I got to clean it up. Stay tuned.

Installed the Rennline weighted shift **** I swapped out of my wife's 986s (gave her a Function-First shift **** with the pattern). Not 100% certain, but I think I like the @Rennline **** better.



Then took a nice, long drive in the local hills. Spoiled to have these out my back door!
