Nice! did you ride oaks? I have to say i have not been very good about riding lately. As a matter of fact i got up early Sat and drove Los Angeles Crest hwy instead of climbing Blackstar... equally as fun but not keeping me in shape.

Last night was a Whiting night...

Funny thing is I miss out on a lot of the local PCA activity on Saturday mornings because that's almost always when I've got a ride going. Either I pig out on pancakes or Krispy Kreme with the pcar guys or I hit the trails and try to stay in shape.

I may be doing a Blackstar ride on the 4th.

Edit.. I've seen a silver 997 parked at Blackstar before... was that you?

ha, that funny I was supposed to ride the Luge last night. No, I have a Black 997 C4S, no bike rack on that car. PM me sometime if you want to ride.

I've been so busy working lately I haven't been able to post much or even visit the forum in awhile. So here's a quick update of what I've done recently to my 997.

Two weekends ago: Replaced the front brakes, new rotors, upgraded stoptec pads, and Cargraphic Super Sound exhaust and fabspeed black chrome tips.

About two months ago: Rennline GT3 "smile" grill, gt3tech front lip, and Getty Classic Ducktail.

Placed my order for Fisters exhaust with ceramic coating. I'm sure I could have done it cheaper locally but sometime you just go with the devil you know. Looking forward to seeing how it sounds with my Sharkwerks X pipe.

Today Brown delivered my torque wrench by Precision Instruments and a Tekton 3/4-inch Drive by 38" Breaker Bar for $50.00... (brkr bar price) most people from what i read use the torque wrench (taking off the gauge) to break but i wanted a standalone bar for home use....

Have an out of town visitor, so good excuse to pick him up at his hotel. Turns out he's an enthusiast, so that was a better excuse for a spirited drive from hotel to work...T

Just got back from Canada so drove to work and back. Nothing exciting, but it's such a fun car.
