Put up some Panorama magazines in my Porsche brake caliper & rotor book ends for great stopping power! 😆

Now those are awesome! You've only displayed the last three issues though? I have the last two years worth sitting out in the garage as the wife has banned them from the house!

The dampers only had about 10,000 miles on them. The previous owner did them under a warranty claim. Since they were relatively new I only did springs. I would have done B8's if I was doing it all. Alignment was uneventful and straight forward according to my mechanic.

Drooling over the images is my 1st pass; I'm down to maybe a few months of reading. The authoring is consistenlty good (easy to read & decent storytelling) and the relatively small team seems to put lot of effort into the publication and overall national club efforts so lots of graditude for their efforts!

Love the bookends!

Apologies for the late reply. I was actually surprised at how simple it was to install. It takes some patience but it's not a difficult. The front of the sunroof was the most difficult because you have to hold down the air deflector.

There is a guy selling the rotor book ends in the classifieds. They are great quality and I just added the brake caliper which I had from before. Search for the below in the classifieds and you can find it.

I am about to replace my front rotors…. This gives me an idea for a cool project.

Washed, waxed, detailed interior, and did my first oil/filter change (myself) using Driven DT40 5W40 .... then tucked away in storage for the colder weather. This car ('05 C2) spent its entire life in Southern California and Arizona before I brought it to the Northeast. No way did I want to drive it through a CT winter. Can't wait for the spring to take it out of hibernation.
