Intercity dropped off my 09 C2S on Saturday morning. I gave it a quick wash, "installed" the Bovee 1000 (works great so far), "installed" the Uniden R3 and drove it.

I don't really have anything planned for it other than driving (and washing). The paint is in ridiculously good condition for an 11 year old car so i want to invest in keeping it that way. It already has clear bra on the front facing body panels. It looks like it's in good condition but I don't know how long it's been there. I'll probably take it to a detail shop and get their thoughts on it. Otherwise all the "work" I'll be doing will be getting my barn ready to store it properly for the winter.

No complaints at all so far and I'm on my same lip from last year

Those wheels are so so good. I haven't seen a set of wheels yet so far that I would want to purchase as a second set for my car... until now!

I had time to work on the car today, so I finally installed the lug studs (it's only been sitting in my garage for a month). I must say, it was easier than I thought and I really like the new look. I'm super happy. Now I feel like I can clean wheels all the time!

wheels look great, might be a good time to ceramic coat them.

Drove into town and parked to grab a coffee. Came back to find my 997 has attracted 996 Turbo friend

996's are always looking for friends. From that angle the 996 is a pretty 911.....too bad about the face. So they are really reflecting life.

The side profile of the 996 might be the best of the 911s.

Switched from Turbo rims to Carrera S2s on my C2. Happy with the aesthetics. Was always surprised how heavy the turbo rims are.

Turbo 996s, yes. Too bad about the rest of the car.

I replaced my gas cap this week. I didn't know the tether was prone to breaking until I read about it on this forum, then it broke soon after. Same with my driver's door handle and a couple other things. I think it's a curse and it's why I stopped reading bore scoring threads.

Last week I added the Sharkwerks crossover pipes. I noticed that my PSE button now had no effect and was in the loud position permanently(sweet!!!!). But sometimes I have to go to the airport really early in the morning, like before 4AM early and don't want to anger my neighbors. Doh!

Somehow the vacuum hard line broke where it follows the upper edge of the rear engine brace/support under the intake. To get there, the airbox must be removed. I slipped a vacuum union on there and all is back to functioning normally.

Hilarious... I had to replace the door lock pivot lever for my driver's door handle as well and just had my gas cap tether snap.

How are you liking the Sharkwerks X-over? Thinking about getting one myself.
