What did you do to your 997 today?

Disabled the clutch switch on my 2006 997.1 Not the clutch must be engaged to start switch but the assembly that look like that above the brake pedal but it had a red, rear housing. I removed it (turn 90 degress CCW, I think it was), tape down the plunger and set it aside. Apparently this switch retards the timing for some brief period when the clutch is depressed.
Unfortunately I didn't bookmark this thread on this but do a search and you'll find it.
Freaking fantastic change. Not more putt-putt-putt pulling away from a stop and much easier to rev match.
Had a few close-to-stalls pulling away at first but quickly adjusted. Wish I would have done it sooner.
Now debating removing the clutch spring assist.

There are several other threads around. Use google to search for "Porsche 997 remove clutch switch" or clutch delay switch. You'll have to filter out the clutch interlock on start threads.
Cruise control in my 2006 C2S still works. I mention that as you'll see some debate about it.

I blame the the clutch helper spring for that.

Attended the PORSCHE CLUB Taiwan event on Wednesday. It was great to go for a drive with about 30 other P-cars! Though I did not continue on with their trip, the overnight location may be one of Taiwan's most scenic spot, Taroko Gorge National Park.

not too sold on the headlamps as of yet... so we shall see.
would rather update/add to the the interior first ... although at this point neither is a priority! (for now)

Its not rocket science! Tutorial online was great. Airbag light is on but thats from my center console. Installed the Function First Shift Right Solution. Didn't know removing the center console would trigger the light.....

3rd radiator and side radiator grills
Installed the grills for side radiators and the third radiator position (I don't have a third rad). Contact me if you are interested in a set. Also have 997.2 side rad protectors (no third radiator grill yet).

Took the car out for an hour of spirit driving this Sunny morning after breaking in the new MPS Cup-2 types.
Oh BOY... I thought I already like the previous MSS a lot, but WOW, what an amazing tyre the Cup-2 is. So glad it went for it!
