Just got mine back yesterday from my indy. Had the following done;
- IMS
- RMS
- AOS
- Water Pump
- Serp Belt
- Fister Exhaust
- Brake fluid flush , fresh coolant and oil.
Love the Fister exhaust.. so glad I went with them. No drone and the perfect amount of sound! Next up is RSS engine mounts and wheel spacers. Still debating the under drive pulley too. Then on to suspension....
I washed mine in 40 degree weather and then took it on a very spirited drive to The Woodlands to the Lone Star Region PCA Banquet.
The guest speaker was Darren Law, former Porsche professional race car driver and current team owner of Flying Lizard Motorsports.
He won the 24 hours of Daytona in 2009 and finished 4th at Le Mans in 2012.

Ordered center console lid hinge repair kit (metal hinge) and new gas cap. The plastic right hinge on the center console lid finally gave up after 20 years. I believe the gas cap is original. When I was getting gas I stood and looked at the O-ring on the gas cap and it was all cracked. I'm really surprised it didn't throw an evap system CEL at me. Little things to keep after.

The upgraded hinge is great. Btw - it comes with the rivets. I didn't realize that when I ordered mine and went looking all over the place for them.
I have had my 04 C4S Cab for a little over a month now. Finally did the first oil change. I also dropped the pan to look for issues and scoped cylinder #6. Thankfully everything checked out good and I grabbed an oil sample for Blackstone. I also changed out the transmission fluid.
I do have an oil leak in the engine but it is high on the right side of the engine (passenger side). It seems to be dripping off of a corrugated tube high up on the right side. I have oil over the whole right side of the engine including the #6 injector. I am researching what it could be. I am thinking AOS, but I am not getting any smoke from the exhaust.
Nice but cold day in Ohio - wife and I drove from Columbus to Cincinnati so that my son could play with the 911. He loved it, despite only being 23. Thought it was cool that a car could have almost zero electronics. His car is a Focus ST, so he likes sporty stuff...
Wife got to ride in the backseat to go to lunch and to Costco. She did not complain (too much) about being stuffed back there. Said it was not too bad but not as much room as my Mustang had. Drove home. Very nice day.
