What did you do to your 996 today?

Final gas-up before winter hibernation with Techron added to the 93 Octane. Took her for a 30 mile drive. Rides like a dream.

I replaced my Renegade BBK which uses 997 Turbo S rotors in Front with Girodisc (pronounced Ji-row-disc) front & back.
Weight savings of 16 pounds of unsprung weight in front and 10 pounds in back
My front rotors went from 350mm to 340mm. (Factory is 317mm)
My rear rotors went from factory 289mm to 325mm.

Had my winter tires installed. Morning temps about to drop and summer tires just aren’t meant for serious cold.

I think it's these: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...99733148702kt/
997.331.487.2 & 997.331.488.02
That’s a pretty good price.

These are what were sent to me.
I prefer the curved slots.
My old BBK had straight slots and I could hear them hit the brake pad when stopping at stop signs.
These Girodiscs are silent when stopping.
I’m extremely happy with the Girodiscs.
I can definitely feel a difference.

The slots usually are pretty diagonal to the edge of the pad, I've never experienced that. Weird. I like the look of the straight slots (period-correct motorsport nostalgia?), will just have to call and ask.

My Black Friday purchase already arrived.
Carbon fiber door pull trim from Rennline.
It matches the door pocket covers.

Three Wheelin'
I bought it a set of 997 wheels...
... ignore the snow tires. Not that they wouldn't be handy this time of year... maybe I'll drive on them until spring. Hmm.
Anyway... I have this kink to paint them a bright contrasting colour, maybe with a matching side stripe on the car to liven up the somber Seal Grey. Still mulling it all over. Step 1: Going to offer them up later and see what spacers are required for the right look and fitment. Step 2: Kink?
