Engine mounts are so worth while. One of the few projects I took to the shop but it was worth every penny. Car feels brand new

I had 125,000kms on the old mounts. They looked fine on the outside but they definitely failed.

Drove my new (to me) 2016 Turbo S 2,306 miles straight through from Phoenix AZ to Harbor Springs Michigan. Averaged 72 mph including stops for gas, a little exercise, food and water in/out!

What a delicious machine! Even at speed and 108 degree temps with the AC and Burmester surrounding me in luxury, engine temp held 200 degrees with absolute ease. Fantastic car!



Now has 30,700 miles and It will be a garage queen as I have three other Cayennes...

Oh, pulled the remote start system, and Mr. 12 volt, replaced the side mirror I'd mounted a camera to. Still beat to death diesel 958

Today I replaced the marker lights on my 2011 Turbo. Was pretty easy to do, and I am quite pleased with the results. I'm in the process of blacking out all the chrome trim, including the rear gate lettering.

It disappeared!

Nice and bright!

@Davebrossi Why did you remove the Mr. 12 Volt? Just curious as I would love to have it, but can't justify the price for the little use I give my vehicle....

Looks great, I did this a while ago, straight from AliExpress!

Didn't need the interface and found it a headache to fight with. Since it occupies a plastic bag (with riser studs) PM me if you're interested. Willing to part at 1/2 off. Nothing wrong with it, just don't appreciate the aggressive hijack of my phone before even starting the p!G.

How did you go with this? I need to schedule some time to do mine as the rear section is starting to sag ever since it spent some hot days in the sun.

Did you consider just removing the headlining yourself but getting it professionally re-trimmed? I am pretty handy but I would hate to do all that work only to have it look average and not last.

Installed a Match Up 8DSP DSP+Amplifier for my base PCM 3.1 sound system (old one died a horrible death from water drips). Huge difference in sound from the factory amp - the sound system actually sounds good*!






*As good as the stock speakers will ever sound that is. One of the front woofers died with the old amp and the amp expects speaker level inputs, whereas the PCM only provides line level. Still working out those kinks.
