Mine is a daily too. In fact, the 997 is my only car at the moment. I'm a happy single person with no pets. So 997 is more than enough for me as a daily.
Numeric Racing shifter is one of the best mods you can do to a Porsche. I highly recommend doing it if you are thinking about it. The cables are super heavy duty. There's not way you will damage them by accident.
Removing the center console is probably a bit much for most Porsche owners.I'm just trying to take out anything I don't need to reduce the weight of the car as much as possible. So far, I have achieved weight reduction of 191.4 lbs by either removing stock parts or replacing parts with lighter ones.

 

I changed the oil and motor mounts today. Was a pretty smooth prosess.Went with the function first mounts.

Impressive results that make a big difference to the performance of the car. Can I bother you for a list or link to the parts removed or swapped?

Sure thing. Here's the link to my Google doc spreadsheet that covers my build. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing
Rows highlighted green are the things that are done. And the numbers are final. Rows highlighted yellow means I have paid for but have yet to install/parts not arrived. Rows that aren't highlighted at all means that are planned items. The weight savings for those are estimated. There's a weight saving column as well as a dollar per lbs weight saving column for items I paid for. 191.4 lbs is the sum of weight saving in the green zone.

 

I’m going to have my center console out so a numeric shifter and cables will either happen now or never (well, not for at least 3-4 years if I don’t do it now).

Are the cables and shifter significantly better in feel as compared to the oem short shifter?

Car is almost 10 years old now and 53k miles so anything I upgrade now I toss into the ‘good maintenance’ bucket so it’s pretty much an open checkbook

 

In my opinion, the Numeric Racing shifter and cables transform the shifting feel. There are a decent amount of compassion video online to proof. Most people I have seen that went with any other short shift kits end up getting the Numeric Racing one.

 

I bought the numeric shifter and cables. The bundle discount and the Rennlist discount helped with the decision.

 

Little run through the hills with about 25 of us. Great drive this time of year.

 

We had family fun morning today. Did our first Porsche cars and coffee this am in New Smyrna Beach. Some great Porsches were there. Whole family came so we looked like a clown car with wife and two kids getting out. Met some very cool people who had some beautiful Porsche’s. Hung out for a couple of hours and then brunch at a private airport (spruce creek) to watch the planes.

 

Tucked her in for the winter.

 

Platinum, are those the new Recaro Sportster GT seats??

 

I added the TechArt Aero I wing, to add a little positive DF to the back (so no lift at speed.) And, I like the look. (might go bigger next season. we'll see)

 

Replaced the worn stock shift **** with a BFI in smooth nappa leather. Quality is good and weight is nice. Matches up to the 991 steering wheel pretty well. I'm looking forward to the improved shift weight.

 

got some new-to-me shoes installed. i was lucky enough to find a set of lobster tails locally that were a bit beat up, but got a good price on them. had it refinished and powder coated, and now look brand new. put a set of ps4s's on them. ride is so much better and quieter than before (previous owner had a mismatched set that were getting old).
