Default Fresh oil

Finally found a watercooled and aircooled shop within a 3 mile radius from where im at. Had the 997 and 911 serviced. Reasonable prices and worth the wait at this awesome place

Rolled through some stop signs on the way to my shop due to broken shifter cable...

Bright side: Numeric shifter cable, Function First Tranny Mounts, Function First Engine Mounts, and a tranny fluid flush happening. Oh, and while we're at it I figure I may as well go ahead and throw some PS4's on there. Looking forward to a whole lot of new feelings.

Installed what I like to call the "super Gundo" yesterday. Pic below is essentially what it looks like, with J pipe in the same area as the PSE along with a pipe between the inlet/outlets.

It sounds glorious, and a super economical mod.

From searching, others who have done this mod and compared it to the "regular" say that it is louder. It's certainly loud but not obnoxious. Some say there is a little bit of low end torque loss, however - I don't track the car, so it doesn't matter much to me. If there is, it's not super noticeable.

I installed new interior door levers (the silver handles). I bought the car used and it had a gouge on the passenger side handle and typical wear on the drivers side. Annoyed me to no end. Now they're pretty again.

All it takes is about 5 minutes, a T20 screwdriver and $320 for 2 new handles. Easy peasy, pull the handle, wedge something under the lever to keep it out, remove the torx screw, slip it off, slip the new one on and put the screw in.

Much happier now.

Blacked out the bumperettes with Plastidip. Not sure I love the look, but it's growing on me.

Hate those bumperettes. My car has the same and I would be removing them as soon as I figured out the best way to patch up the holes for a repaint.

Drove it after changing the manual trans gear lube last night. I wasn't impressed with the shifts on the test drive last night, but now I can shift into first on a roll below 10MPH. Bonus.
(Why did my autocorrect capitalize "trans" in the middle of a sentence...hmmm, strange)

Your steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Smile New sound and titanium lugs



New Titanium lugs from Acer Racing.com on my 2010 Carrera S wheels.
Well, I dressed her wheels with Titanium lugs from Acer Racing.com. Under $200 delivered in 3 days and really look nice, the oem steel lugs rusted in less than a week after polishing them. Improved the sound with the installation of a Fister Sports Exhaust including a Sharkwerks cross over pipe. Sounds great!

Default Just a few more additions

I just finished installing my FVD guards red gauge cluster plus sport chrono faces. Also added some quad tips and
LED clear side markers.
