992 Style rear Emblem on order

 

Looks good. I also recently installed a lip and, unsurprisingly, immediately scraped the bottom of it coming out of the driveway.

 

Garage envy

 

Aerokit problems!! Amirite?

 

I rest a bit easier knowing they are $130.....scrape away. Aerokit battle scars!

 

beautiful, love that side profile like this. would be curious to see how the 992 style rear emblem turns out. ive got a 997 aerokit with the gt3 wing and is currently badgeless in same colour as yours so keeping an eye out for ideas

 

Very nice

Made it to 50k alive!

 

Indeed! The bumper cover is soft enough to bend so I think as long as you don't slam it at really high speeds, its elasticity should help.

 

Milestone reached after 8,000 kms @ 40 months since acquired. Blondie is as smooth as ever, its flat-6 not missing a beat.



And she gets the front radiator grilles. Excellent fit & finish from Zunsport.

 

This weekend a bit of speaker repair and now the system sounds proper! then spent a bit of time looking over the car and its service history, going through pelican parts and planning out my next lot of preventative maintenance.

bit of a pain in the butt to replace that door woofer as certainly not a drop in replacement but well worth the effort. not really any easy and tidy ways to fit subs in here but super happy with the way this sounds.

Didn't take pics of the 4" midrange speaker installation as that is basically a drop in replacement but below is a bit of a high level writeup on the 8" door woofers. This is for the base model setup with the "ASK" amp, may be different for those with Bose amp. The Focal ISU200 is a great replacement at good value, and isn't too much deeper than the stock one.





removed the factory woofer mounting, it was a paper cone type and very shallow




gutted the mount




test fitted and had to remove the outer shell here as that was keeping it from sitting flush within the door card/trim. peeled it back flat with pliers and then cut away





sits nicely now





Not pictured here but also had to trim back the door card end which interfaces with the door woofer side. probably would have been easier if i had a dremel but hacked away at it with a craft knife. now sits flush, door trim all clipped in properly, no wierd vibrations/noises inside.

in the end the metal vents on the gt3 rear spoiler had some vibrations at higher volumes, cannot be heard from inside and couldn't quite figure out an easy way to dampen those. something to think about for future.

 

Congrats, but ...

​​​​​​...Something is up with your oil pressure, sending unit or temperature gauge sender. On an engine as cold as the temp gauge shows, the oil pressure should be at the top of the gauge even at idle. Your pressure looks like that of a fully warmed up engine.

 

@Petza914: Eagle eyes! The car's just been out 300m from the carport and on my way to a Sunday morning drive. Momentarily stopped when I saw the odo mileage reading to take a pic of the dash. Vitals appeared normal even after a spirited 100-km run for an hour - oil temps below 100degC, 1.5-5 oil pressure range, freely revving thru 4k-5k rpm. Nevertheless, will observe more closely for any other unusual symptoms.

Thanks for noting and sharing, Bro.

 

My comment was based on a 997.1. i see you have a .2 so that might be normal as I believe the .2 has a variable speed oil pump. You may be fine - sorry if I alarmed you.
