I assume the pan at the beginning is to catch some of the leaks?

"thats like watching grass grow.... with sound."

I know it lacked a certain "French Connection" car chase excitement. It was just a test run to see if it was worth trying at the track.

Drive to coffee shop is rarely exciting, the joy is in getting there. Beside, at 7AM on a Saturday, it's all I can do to keep in the lane before I have my first cup of joe...

I'm hoping it will look/sound great at track speeds and camera maybe an inch lower. I'm thinking that view in a P-in-P of a larger view out the front, and it would be particularly interesting when reviewing any "code brown" moments. Camera is pretty close to the ground, so there is risk of camera loss/damage in some scenarios

Doesn't leak. Pan is for continual confirmation of that.

Wellard - I think I spotted your gleaming white 996 aero this morning in Apex! Have you moved into my neighborhood? PM me if you have! Perhaps we can talk cars even if we aren't at the Wake Zone!

So, has anyone removed their airbag?

I need to do the horn fix this weekend and wondered if anyone had tried it and had any tips?

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

3 spoke wheel? Pretty easy. I've described the process before step by step; search on my posts.

4 spoke. As far as I know it's as easy as disconnect the battery and remove a single torx screw on each side of the rear of the steering wheel. I just wanted to check before I got into the job.
