Removed my girlfriends rear wheels from her 2011 C4S Cab completely cleaned them including removing old weights. Put in Cayenne and had PS2 205/30-19s installed $840 out the door. Put them back on car and we went for a great drive in the country roads. Wonder rite wish is had it on my 2017. All in all it was a beautiful day of social distancing.

Finally put the new rotors and pads, that I've had for six months, on the car. Did a bit of cleaning around the hubs but I need to do a lot more Also broke the rear pad sensor clips removing them...they were a little brittle, so those are on order now.

Looks gorgeous up there and I love those wheels!

Parking doesn't seem like an issue; assuming that there was also was no traffic.

Spectacular days up here in the PNW...

I left the sensors off mine when I replaced everything. I've never had pad sensors on any car I've had. Its just too easy to peek at the pads through the wheel.

Default 997S Turbo Desk Lid Swap

Installed the 997TT deck lid on 997S. Still working through a spoiler error code when it goes into active mode at 70,mph, may be the limit switches (open to suggestions) . And yes, i removed the turbo badge.

Lucky enough to get someone’s 991.2 GT3 RS black trim from their steering wheel and “upgraded” my silver trim. I like the blacked out look.

Yes - big improvement! If only Porsche would provide an alternative to that chrome circular ring on the airbag...

I talked to my neighbor about the car washing situation. He said he isn't going to call the cops on me for washing the car in my driveway. So that is a win. Yes, it is illegal here to wash your own car in your own driveway. But we have an understanding, so I can get back to enjoying washing the car at my leisure here at home.

Welcomed her to the family! She's my first 911, a 2006 C4 6MT in Arctic Silver over black full leather with 19" Carrera S II rims. She's the achievement of a dream I've held since the mid-Eighties, an early 40th birthday present, and the most fun I've had with pants on! Replacement center caps, bumper plugs, and Eibach lowering springs are already on order. I'm absolutely overwhelmed with excitement, so fortunate to be in a position to make this happen in spite of the world tuning upside-down.

Eibachs, ESC spacers, rotors, pads, and powder-coated calipers
I love the change!
