Did the paddle shift mod. (They look uneven in the photo due to the angle). Retained original tiptronic buttons and they are also functional. Time and $ we’ll spent.
Visited my car in the indy shop that is doing the OEM Sachs clutch, OEM Luk
flywheel, p/s pump, Numeric shifter and cables, BMC air filters, IPD plenum, SharkWerks bypass pipes, changing the belt, and changing all of the fluids and filters.
New clutch and pressure plate are in.
2009 997.2 C4S cabriolet, six-speed manual, sport chrono. Should be fun when it's done.
Wow, what happened to that clutch? It's covered with hot spots and discoloration. Looks like maybe there's oil on some of the pressure plate fingers too. Was your RMS or slave leaking and getting oil on the clutch surfaces?
Looking good. If you are open to it, I found using a very fine grit sanding sponge, gets it looking nearly new, if you have a brushed finish tip. Just buff with the grain of the metal brushing.
EDIT - I was looking at the wrong tip. The left one looks GREAT! what did you use?

Drove it for the first time since mid-october.... The satisfaction of it starting as if I never stored it and drove flawlessly without a hiccup or hesitation or smoke, is absolutely priceless.
I had done my oil change with Motul last automn, leaving room for the ceratec treatment that I poored in immediately before the ride.... It just purred like a kitten....
It is so much more solid! Purchased a knock off key for $18 and a genuine Porsche logo for $12 and swapped everything else over. I could not be happier.
