Remember that they are best removed for cleaning both the material and leading edges where dirt will collect...
Yes! Earlier this year I tried to reach out with no success, but this time all went quickly, very friendly and smoothly. Highly recommended!

Thanks for the maintenance suggestions!

Adjusted ride height a little. I’ve got some settling going on..

just to have a place to start can someone with H&R springs tell me their ride height? From the bottom of the fender lip to the ground should work… thx a ton.

I just want to see where I’m at…

150 miles of perfect weather and mountain highways with the family. This was a good weekend.

Pulled the transmission, bad throw out bearing (really bad). Will replace the clutch while I'm in there.

Installed new engine mounts, back to oem, and installed the third radiator kit! Was a breeze.

Thanks for sharing everyone!

I've installed Carplay in my Porsche. Got it from these guys if anyone else is interested in getting one: https://thecarplayer.com/collections/porsche

700+ miles of spectacular roads in Utah (not all in one day...) - if you've never driven Rt 12 you are missing out!

PCCM+ install. Only took about an hour going slowly after doing my homework on how to install. Really pretty easy in my case and everything works fantastically. I didn’t take any pics but I’ll try to in the next few days.

I ran Invos on my WRX way back in the day and I loved those tries. Definitely want them on my 997, but I’m going to wear out what came on the car, first.

Radiator kit was a breeze? I'm debating doing the same if/when I swap the bumper. Also need to do engine mounts, which I haven't done on any 911 before. Watching the explainers, it seems super straightforward.

Yeah, hardest part is likely getting the air out of the coolant system. Everything bolts up really easily, was able to put the new hoses in with only losing around 1.5 litres of coolant. Engine mounts easy too, hardest part is just getting the airbox off and on (I have an intake hose kit which makes it harder), and ensure you have a deep 18mm socket, its a must. I use a Milwaukee medium duty impact gun and it works really well, makes these jobs super fast.

Regarding the third radiator ... Put the retaining clips on the hoses first. Then they snap into position as you push the hoses on. This makes that task simple. You'll see what I mean when you do it.

Removed rims and Started stripping old plasti-dip. Rims will be finished in something similar to Porsche Weiss gold with polished barrels.
