I would like to add a 996 C2 three (3) spoke steering wheel to my 993 C2, has anyone tried this before and if so what are the pros/cons?

I replaced an oxygen sensor today.
Tomorrow I plan to repeat the door-strap fix that I did almost 10 years ago, to shave off a little more rubber.

Leander,

Why did you replace the O2 sensor? were you getting a CEL? or just preventative? what interval do you change them?

Thanks

I got a CEL codes P0154 and P1119. I first checked the wires connection before changing just the one sensor. Car has 115k miles. I read somewhere they typically need replacing around 90-100k, so I expect to have to do the other three soon.

The last couple days I have been working on the 95', I buffed it to a nice shine with a cut, polish, wax.

I also changed the radio from the CR-1 to a Continental unit with bluetooth.

Took the car to pass smog, it passed with flying colors.

Installed a CF RS heater bypass pipe in the garage today, it's getting way too hot here in Phoenix to work on the car, but the Fister II's are coming tomorrow!

I should probably sell it, don't think I've driven it 5 times this season.

Good eye Jlaa,

I just got a nice set of stock sills courtesy of KMass993. They're at Wheel Dynamix being wrapped in XPel at present. Slowly pulling it all together, and enjoying every moment.

Forgot the preview:

I see a pair of cashmere/forest green HB sport seats in your future P-daddy. What a great color combo!
