Default Productive Monday.

I spend a good few hours getting the 996 on the new lift and doing some work. The the fronts of the PSS9's in and cleaned up some broken stuff from the PO. I also decided that with the new wheels on the way the orange is going bye bye. So I took off the mirrors and the the paint in the tail is bad so they will both be repainted to match the car. The PO glued the mirror switch on, that was tons of fun.....

Oh and the PO also installed a set of 3.4 mufflers which is a bummer because I was going to do the stage II mod on them so if any one has a set.

I have a set of sway bars on the way and hope to have it wrapped in two weeks to do some light track work.
Also going to change all the filter and oil while I am in there. GOD i love having a lift...

Thanks guys, Its been a lot of hard work getting the garage dialed (6+ months) in but it is going to be worth it. Now I can pretty much do everything at home. The only down side is my friends (and now their friends) know about it...

I will do the corner balance myself at work or if my boss is in a good mood I might bring the scales home...doubt it...

How do you work on the right side of the car? Doesn't look like I could fit between the tire and the wall.

It is a little tight to the wall but I can get a tire off and on without issue. If I could get more I would have but I wasn't about to go cutting into the house.

Very nice Scott! I adjusted my PSS9s from full stiff to full soft yesterday. Planning to take the car to Montreal F1 next week with the Wife if she approves the ride comfort factor...

How do you remove the mirror covers?

"Oh and the PO also installed a set of 3.4 mufflers which is a bummer because I was going to do the stage II mod on them so if any one has a set. "

FisterD now does the exact same mod on 3.4 and 3.6 cans. (no more stage I and stage II mods). He should be able to tell you if there is a sound difference between the two. I'm guessing that there isn't because the mod enhances the sound by making some of the exhaust gases bypass the muffler (input to output).

You have a very nice set up by the way!
