LN Engineering IMS retrofit (I have an '05 Carrera S, so it was for peace of mind)
New RMS
New Sachs OE replacement clutch
AASCO Single Mass Lightweight Flywheel
Numeric Racing Cup Cables
Function First Shift Right Solution

It was a lot of work, but well worth it. My clutch still had life on it, but it was a "while you're in there" upgrade while getting the IMS/RMS done. The shifter cables and Shift Right Solution just made sense to do as well. The car will be solid for a very long time. It sounds healthy, revs quicker, and shifting feels like a precision sniper rifle's bolt action!

Numeric racing was a pleasure to work with and incredibly helpful with all my questions.
Luka at Function First is a class act and was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Both of these products are AMAZING and the quality/fit/finish is second to none. A MUST upgrade for anyone replacing their shifter cables or upgrading their factory SSK (Function First).

Funfzehn Automotive in Orange, CA did all the work and I cannot praise Kenneth enough. I highly recommend them for anyone in SoCal!!
That's a good service, great choice.

Added porsche badging to the rear. Not sure if i like it.. will leave on for a while

Installed and quickly removed 8mm ecs spacers. Too much poke for me. If anyone wants to trade 3mm for 8mm let me know.

Wow. I generally dislike badging that didn't originally come with the car, but I have to say I think it really looks good in this case.

The mounts are pretty good for the limited amount I've had the car on the road. Everything feels more taut, as you might expect with less rubber, but in a good way. There is a bit more NVH with the yellow "street" inserts, but it's perfectly streetable.

Shameless plug but dialed in tuning for the shop 911 Turbo (997.1). This sucker flies now!

I took off my winter tires and put on my summers. Put a coat of wax on the wheels to try and keep them clean. Will probably regret doing this so early but the Escalade will fill in when it snows again.

Default Insurance claim

After a 1600 mile road trip (Death Valley) with three buddies (C4S, F-Type, C5), washed the GTS. Had got caught in high sustained winds in NV, blowing sand and small rocks. Sustained some damage to almost all panels. Insurance claim submitted.

No pics. It's 20/20, looks ok from 20' feet away. But lots of very little white shots.
