Just bought 997 GT3 MKII red rear calipers for better brake bias. My shop does a bumper swap (RUF) and the fender liner bracket mod for bigger tires.

Fixed a broken spring - the one that tensions the inner door handle. Wasted a lot of time looking for a screw the Bentley video said was inside the door pocket. Apparently, by 2004, Porsche had decided it wasn't necessary... re-tensioned inner door handle has re-enabled the window "pop-down."

Picked up my OEM euro 996 GT3RS polycarbonate rear window yesterday. Very cool piece. Super light.

no i deleted it a long time ago. i think rear wiper would quickly ruin the clarity of the polycarbonate as well.

I watched this magician unload my new 996 Turbo off this truck! Not a scratch! Shipping the car was my top fear.

Wow, that's some mickey mouse transporter. I was expecting Reliable or an Intercity Lines type of transporter for a car of this caliber!

It came out to be perfect, but I was worried. I had lined up Passport to do it, but then they told me it would be ~2 weeks for pickup.

Last weekend was Mecum, this weekend is Gooding & Company, so trucks were at a premium. Intercity lines, even with the RL discount wanted $1500 from CO to CA. Another transport wanted $1700.
