Baby Bro is in town; took him down to his Vancouver offices at about 0430... he hasn't been in the car for awhile, was suitably impressed.

Does everyone in your family get up that early? Or, jetlag?

No, he's working for Amazon, and they have mandated that everyone has to work in the office at least three times a week, so as he is usually attached to the DC office, and the rest of the DC folks are up that early, he must be up that early.

Plus, the roads are a delight at that time.

I put her on the lift and changed the oil & filter, swapped the brakepads on the right, and will do the left side tomorrow, then bleed all four corners and have her ready for the new owner when the right person stumbles by.

After lowering the rear spring tension the car feels soft but still not damping how I'd like. So I raised the rear ride height. Damn the right locking ring was seized. Took me almost 30min a of banging and wd40 and heat gun to loosen. Then I was exhausted so I didn't have a chance to test drive.

Also doubles as a stop if the top car tries to roll backwards.

Couple smaller things changed following a shopping trip to the US:
- installed carbon armrests (Rennline)
- bought OEM short shifter, replaced plastic bushings with Phenix Engineering metal ones and installed that
- swapped ashtray in center console for larger storage box (Etsy), getting rid of the blind switches

I think I posted these on the 996 forum as well but I knocked out the Spark plugs, revised coils, and revised intercooler seals since I had the intercoolers out.

The 996tt suspension feels much better after lowering the spring rate and raising the ride height.

Question: why do you use original Porsche Parts for Coils & Plugs? Must be at least three times more expensive than the OEM ones....
