The engine was blown, the cams were basically welded in on the driver side but somehow the car still ran. The engine was a mess, somebody has been inside and messed a lot of chit up. I've had to replace tons of parts and way way over the original budget.
So of course a full rebuild with all the normal stuff plus Pauter rods, ARP/Raceware studs, Cometic headgaskets and fully ported & polished heads.

Should be fun once it's done.

Finally got my original refurbished rims and new Michelin boots on

Finally got time to do my GT2 wheel upgrade. Installed the shorter GT2 brackets for the rear wheel-housing liners, the GT2 liners, and the GT2 rims. Very happy with the upgrade; wider tires, particularly in the rear, look fantastic. A quick drive on the upgraded width and new rubber eliminated any doubts about the worthiness of this upgrade.

I also did my first oil change (coming up on my 4-month anniversary with my car). Replaced all of the drain plugs with factory new ones, and new factory sealing washers as well. Torqued everything to spec (noting torque spec error in the "996 Companion" book). Slowly, but methodically, I'm bringing my car up to a fully-maintenanced level after less than stellar maintenance by the PO. Still have some more fluids to take care of.

Did the rear wiper delete and plug this morning. Simple, less than 10 minutes. Really cleans up the look of the car

Wow, deceptive. What am I seeing here, custom machining or tape&paint?

I had them done as they were from the factory according to the order for my vehicle. Tape and paint and pretty happy with the result.

Cheers

Took off front bumper and cleaned out a metric asston of leaves and other debris. I'm blown away how much crap gets held in there. Now I'm replacing both of the radiator fans with $80 ebay specials... hopefully my a/c will work better while not moving now.

Got a new head unit down the street at Al & Ed's. Single DIN Alpine - because I like my 2 storage bins!.

Light Savers and new air filter installed (the old filter wasn't terribly dirty but it looked old, and I hadn't changed it since buying the car 18mo ago.
