I went for a fun backroad cruise, grabbed some goods...

All of the black friday sales had me contemplating an upgrade however I was curious what was in the car. Removed the center console to find this. Now to clean the heck out of everything and further consider what to do.

Installed the wheel today, super easy, and did a quick drive with it. Love it so far!

Sorry I don't have better pictures, but here are a few:

Before:


After:




Next upgrade is to find some seats that hold me better than the stock seats, but not anywhere near as difficult to get in and out of as the OMP seats I had in it for a while, and hopefully not a fortune either.

On the 991 Forum, a member was installing Tillet seats in his Turbo, very minimalist and by appearance uncomfortable, but evidently if they fit you, they actually are quite comfortable.

We shall see what Steve says after a couple hundred miles in those seats.... I am not convinced, despite how sexy they are.

Like the wheel, who made it?

Put in the rubber floor mats from my C2 - mucky weather is afoot. Then, of course, I had to take it around the block, which turned into a solid hour drive. Had a nice pull from a light onto the freeway and actually went all out (which I typically don't because I try to be a responsible member of society). I went plaid, gentleman. It feels like unlimited power - I will never sell this car.
