Ya probably made mom's day! Gave her a chance to bust out all the good lines that she hasn't used since you move out. Not that she'd ever admit it though.

Had the stone guards replaced. I used the clear bra guy that services the local Porsche dealer. $200, looks fantastic

Had windshield replaced 2 weeks ago but there was wind noise. Took it back and hopefully it's done right.

I changed my spark plugs.
I put NGK Iridium and don't feel any different.

Did you get it installed at dealer or indy?

Drove mine in a rally organized by a local dealer. Wife had to work, so no co-pilot, which made it a little more difficult and less entertaining. But, fun roads. Some I had not discovered myself.

Last weekend, but I'll count it. Installed IPD Plenum and GT3 throttle body. Also ran a pint of RBF600 brake fluid through my calipers with my power bleeder, and installed my "new to me" CCW C10 18 x 9 and 18x12's with 255 and 315 R888's. Washed her up and took the wife out. I think I will need to put an exhaust back on for wife approval as I'm currently running Sharkwerks straight pipes, I love the sound but frankly it's obnoxious for street use. Perfect for track days in WA where there's no noise rules.

Next up is install of my Borla headers I got on eBay and also Tarrett camber plates I bought from Rebel Racing so I can get some more track appropriate negative camber.

Hey Tom,

Safelite took care of it with OEM windshield. Dealer was asking more than double price.

Granted, there was issue with first install 2 weeks ago but I drove the car at high speeds yesterday and it had no wind noise. Overall, I'm very happy with repair.

Cool. There's a Safelite near us. I have a crack and a chip, but it still passes county inspection, but one day I'll want to replace it. Thanks for the info...T

Installed Sport Buckers and lap belts tonight. Missing a part from a vendor but once I have that I'll install the harness bar and shoulder belts then take pro pics.
Here's a phone pic for now.

^ Very spiffy.

Nothing Earth shattering, just some early Sunday morning chores made more exciting thanks to the 997.
