What did you do to your 996 today?

To get rid of the dreck inside the wheel barrels try kerosene, gasoline, and/or oven cleaner. Not all at once.

@Gregs04.5 my cars meridian metallic. Here is a pic with silver wheels, and a pic w black. I have some bronze Momo heritage 6's on order. When they arrive, the twists are going to be refurbished and powder coated or painted, and I'm thinking a gloss black, as they were (I think) a factory option at the time. But I'm open to suggestions from the forum as well. Maybe Carrera red or yellow, something bold. Since my paint is so neutral pretty much anything will work. The renndecals Carrera decal can be changed easily as well. Though https://renndecals.com/ is down and has been for a while, Chris is still responding to emails at renndecals@gmail.com.
Greg what color did you end up doing? Light gold and dark 'blood' cherry red or crimson would be nice I think.

I'll definitely post pics when I get them on, may take another week or so.

picked up 2 E28’s and 2 E88’s. Ordered 4 more e28 faces, 2 e88 faces, 6.5 inner barrels, and (4) 2.5 lips to build myself two set of wheels this summer/fall. I’m looking for 2 more 6.5 barrels.

Replaced my H7 standard Halogen low beams with LED's from Amazon. You have to buy the ones without the fan on top so it will fit. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JZC6TGX...roduct_details
Old on the left, LED on the right.
Fits perfect!

@sasilverbullet Have you used them at night yet? Any dark spots? What about glare to on-coming drivers?

It Works!
I drove down to Cambridge MD for IM 70.3 Eagleman this weekend and really enjoyed two hours of stop-n-go traffic on the bay bridge. But that brought a slight front end noise to my attention.
After re-torquing every suspension bolt up front this morning, I thought I would check on that space-saver spare that has never been used in 20yrs. And it worked! Had to remove the valve core to get the tire to inflate at first, but it held air like a champ and even snapped back into compact shape when I let the air out. I’m going to ignore the Sep 2003 date code and feel better about the spare probably working if I ever need it.

Burning Brakes
They were originally made in 5 stud Porsche fitment as many factory racecars frequently used them : 964, 993 and 996 :

If so, I'll give them a try.

@sasilverbullet, Just a simple bulb swap?
If so, I'll give them a try.

I installed a Function First shifter bushing kit . Took my time it was much easier because my seats are out . Can't drive it until I get my seats back from the upholstery shop . But sitting still shifter movement feels smooth and precise .

Nice! Did you move to a 997 shifter or keep your 996 shifter?
