first replaced rear brake pads, then replaced handbrake shoe, and finally replaced the rear bearings.... to remove the annoying little clicking / cranking noise. Nice to hear the engine and exhaust note without any interference ;-)
I remember your post on that. I have listened to various exhuast clips and I liked them the best. I also like the way they do he tune and not use a ****ty windows interface and go for the direct program. Are you happy with their tune? No check light issues or drivability either especially at partial throttle? Do they get rid of the 3k rpm hitch in the upper gears the stock tune has??
Pretty pleased with all if it. The tune software is quite easy and they turn it around same day. The kicker for me was the ability to restore stock tune whenever I need to.
Actually smoothed out some of the idle tremble.
Happy to meet you and let you try it out for yourself.
Great looking car. What made you go with H&R instead of Eibach or something else? Stock shocks?
Just a personal preference..I think that the two brands are both pretty good.
The shocks are just the stock ones.
I lowered the car because i just bought a set of Volk Racing TE37 and i think it will looks better a little sportier.
I put the front license plate on to get a ticket signed off. Purchased s front bracket that screws into the tow hook and it was super easy to install and remove.
I researched "gundo hack" or muffler modification. I read up and found Chris Sterling in Laguna Niguel. This guy is awesome, professional, high end. He does these simple modifications because he wants it done right. He does the work himself and does it tip top.
I went with his advice, a 2.5 in. not the 1". He said others said they couldn't really tell with the 1". I am stoked. It sounds great, throatie, growls. I love the startup and the decel bubble.
This is a pretty cheap way to modify the sound of the 997. I didn't want to spend 3-5k just to get a growl. There is no change in HP or emissions. There are changes if you have a Turbo, so you need to talk about that before doing this.
Here is the Before and After on my 2009 911 Carrera S
Washed and waxed her, then dropped the top and played hooky from work so I could drive around DC topdown under the setting sun...55 degrees and brilliant!

I went a little bit against the popular trend today... I uninstalled my Depo LED tail lights and reinstalled my OE tail lights. I like the whole idea of LEDs, but the OE incandescent lights just look better to me...

I've been going back/forth and back/forth (and back/forth) with regard to converting to the LED taillights and I think I'm slowly coming to the same conclusion. I really like the more slightly old school look to the incandescent housing as compared to the more modern LED housing. Both look great but I think I too prefer the originals.
Though... I'll likely change my mind again in a few minutes.
