Changed the oil for the first time after picking it up. Went with Joe Gibbs DT40 and spin-on filter adapter with Filter Mag from LN Engineering. Great people to talk to. It's 80 in PA today w/ Football on the garage TV, it's time for a wax.
I have an LN Engineering dicsount code if anyone was thinking of picking something up. Not sure what the rules are for posting so IM me if you could use 10-OFF-50
I just changed my oil today, too. Third time doing it on the 997, and I always enjoy the experience!
Magnetic Plug and crush washer
Napa filter goes with spin-on adaptor
Actually I only have 61.5k miles. Need to change that. I'm trying to keep all of these that I do, but I must have thrown out the last one...
first time with other than Mobil One
Also first time using an oil additive. It specifies 50ml/liter and I'm starting off light, just using one 300ml can for this interval
Replaced front brake pads, changed oil, balanced wheels, flushed brakes with new brake fluid. Powder coated all 4 907.2 wheels and repaired wheel rash on wheel driver side rear and wheel ding on back wheel passenger side.
Took off the gundo which i love and installed fabspeed muffler bypass pipes with car chemistry baffles. Those should help with the drone and with the loss of low end torque. I know these baffles help on my track motorcycle. Should theoretically work on the 997 as well. Will try them tomorrow.

"washed" with Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer. Does a great job in between wet washes
Great car! The lobsters really work with that color.
You can really kick up your detail spray with Finish Kare 425 or Duragloss Aquawax. Either one of these will give stellar luster and depth while leaving behind a bit of protection. And at the same price as the Megs Ultimate spray.
Thanks ofr the tip on Finish Kare 425 and Duragloss Aquawax. I'll look them up. I can't complain about Meguiar's UQD, or any of Meguiar's products for that matter.
When I first got the car I was looking to replace th lobsters for some OZ 14s or something similar. Now they have grown on me and I actually like the way they look a lot
Drove it like it should be driven. Was actually yesterday but since we didn't finish until 1210am this morning it was technically today.
I did a Monte Carlo style road rally - as always the rally was all around a bunch of really scenic roads a bit north of Los Angeles. If you've never done a rally you should look around your local area.
Oh, and my navigator and I took first place in our class. Yay.
