Super clean car... beautiful

Blue Chip

Replaced my the blown subs in the doors.

I had NO IDEA that Porsche bought all of the leftover speakers from Radio Shack alarm clocks and put them in our cars.

Not really - but the quality of the stock speakers is a joke... really. Paper cones? Really?

Hey Wayne! Ha ha ha on the mods, I guess we'll have to see… Regarding the TPC controller I would say it's an absolute no-brainer for your car. The 997.2 has the three access accelerometer already so it's really a five-minute plug-and-play switcheroo. With mine it was a little more involved because I needed to Strip and Sauter some cables underneath the roof storage deck behind the seats to install the three excess accelerometer. Even so I think it is (as many people have said) a night and day difference in the overall performance of the factory PASM suspension. I spoke with Tom at TPC a few times before buying the DSC and I agree with his feeling that the controller paired with good sway bars is pretty much all you need. In my case my shocks and struts were at 90,000 miles and not just "cruising back and forth on the freeway" miles ...so when the opportunity to pick up the bilsteins presented itself I kind of had to. The handling now is "very satisfying" ... (!!!)

I think the TPC box is a great option for your wants, but the sway bars will definitely flatten her out too.

A drive is due, but as always it's 'work work work' over here! -d

Added a picture showing the new ride height. Took froggy up the mountain before work today

I am think about adding a silver sport gas cap thru Suncoast parts. Anybody have any experience with changing the gas cap? Might it start creating a light on the dash appearing? Godd idea? bad idea??

Thanks.

Changed the oil with Motul, switched to track pads, washed and waxed wheels, calipers and car. Roebling Road on Monday

had a pic, but can't downsize it.

Sweet looking parts. My question is the PDK oil. Mine is coming due. How did you do the refill? I've read PIWIS is required. Do you have a work around?

This is a pkg 3 part item from SunCoastParts.com. Install by Porsche dealer. The clutch oil change is required at 60K miles. I would not take a chance on anyone but Porsche dealer doing it as I read the SOP for it and decided if I was having it done only Porsche dealer was doing it. It cost more but I have the comfort of knowing it was done right. Look into the way it needs to be done and be smart. Mine is an 09 first year PDK and I didn't want to take any chances.

I changed mine a few months ago... no issues at all and very easy to do. There is really no rational reason to swap it as it is invisible to all, so this is more of a psychic cosmetic improvement since you'll be the only one who knows it's there and who will see it each time you fill 'er up.

Hey! That's my unicorn (red with black wheels) off to the right! It was a great run today by the local PCA club...T

I'm with you on the dealer PDK oil change. Just thought from your wording that you DIYed it. Thanks for the clarification.
