What did you do to your 997 today?

What did I do to my 997 today? I broke it.
Add me to the list of folks with snapped shifter cables....at least that is my assumption. I was shifting from second to third and felt a pop. Now the shifter moves freely fore and aft but does not move left and right, and the transmission is stuck in third gear. Fortunately I was still in the neighborhood just three or four blocks from home so I managed to limp home in third gear. I know the car is almost 11 years old but still very disappointing to have such a critical failure with only about 42k miles on the clock.

If the plastic ends did in-fact break, you can either replace the complete cables with upgraded versions from Numeric or you can replace just the ends with those from Function First.

Finally a day without rain in SoCal. I installed new motor mounts (Rein from RennPart) and the rear end behaves so much better. Tail pipes sit better after install but not perfect so I adjusted them. Not only does it drive better but the amount of vibration in the cabin is reduced. Not sure why I waited so long.
Next up are new front LED fogs lights and a complete replacement of all window tint. The tint is old, hazy and a bit to dark for SoCal.

Sweet, thanks for the response. I recently started using Spotify and was disappointed to find that my Galaxy S9 only communicates with my ‘09 with the phone. The car doesn’t play music from the phone, even when it’s hardwired to the console interface.

I heard it on the X
Fitted X style muffler delete from TopGear UK
997.2 CS2 mt. Car has genuine PSE side cans.
Sounds awesome.
The swap set.
Something sexy going on here, and it’s all noise!

I consoled her... And assured her that March in Seattle usually isnt like this.... This is her first PNW winter and the transition from SoCal has been hard 😆

Took off my 18" Winter wheels, and installed new to me 19" takeoffs from an '07 Turbo on to my C4S.
Drove to Butler Tire Buckhead on the roller rubber, and am having new TPMS and PS4S installed.
