What did you do to your 996 today?

really bad bumps on a main road. Think mini speed bumps every 50-100ft. Just poor New England roads. Sad part it was a main road in southern ri (rt.4 near south county commons)
today I ordered elephant racing quick connect camber plates. I also installed my turbo leather carbon fiber steering wheel.

Sorry to see the damage. I hear you on the roads. Out of curiosity, what was the actual damage to the coilover and what did KW say?

I worked on MY engine today for once! Can't wait to clean up the shop after. I've built 2 engines since this one's been apart and I dissasembled a core to get a crank. It will be nice to get the shelf space cleared up!

Lighting Upgrade
Went after some janky dim and burned out bulbs and finally can see with LED. Fun $20 project.

the actual damage was a blown strut mount only. It’s was a new aftermarket one from fcpeuro. I also purchased my suspension from them too and connected with them to replace the strut thinking that was the issue. Like every interaction with FCP Euro this was no different. They offered to swap the strut with the purchase and return of a new set. So shout out to their lifetime replacement guarantee.

Another couple of jobs ticked off:
Gundo hack, Fister whatever you like to call it. 1.5" pipe cut and welded. The sound is so much better!
Broke both tailpipe clamps, and broke two bolts on the sleeve clamps...all were well rusted! Despite living in a country with no salt on our roads!
Fresh stainless bolts and a good wirebrush and everything came up nice.
