Finally installed a 997 shifter from a 2005. Shifts are now more concise. I really like it!

Replaced the front and back brake pads in preparation for a DE event in 2 weeks.
It was my first time replacing brake pads on a Porsche
One word comes to mind.....

Went out for gas yesterday...........175 miles later I finally got back home! 
I decided to drive to Ojai and then out on the 33! A great road - everything from tight curves to long sweeping uphill curves and wonderful views. Front of car still covered in a lot of dead bugs.

Removed Coolant Tank
Just finished removing the coolant expansion tank and as expected it was cracked. Going to order one online any suggestions on who has the best price. Keep in mind I am in Canada.

Finally got to drive it. It's been weeks since I got it back after the new clutch, flywheel and IMSB job. The weather here has been miserable and too cold.

Changed the oil, changed to LN Magnetic Oil Pan Plug, changed over to the LN Oil Filter Spin On Filter Adaptor, changed engine air filter, and changed cabin pollen filter. Kinda proud of myself as I have never done those on a Porsche before. Only cost me $565.86. Next time though the ramps, tools, and parts are already purchased. I will only need just be filters, crush washer and oil next time.

My first DE at a racetrack
WOO HOOO Tons of fun
Here's a video of one of my sessions
This was at Spring Mountain Motorsports Raceway in Pahrump, NV
It was nice and challenging with some very fast corners, a couple of long straightaways and a tight hairpin. Nothing like going from 90+ in 4th to 25 in 2nd at the hairpin.
can't wait until the next track event for me in May

Today i looked for a new Engine, because apparently even after doing the IMS and all preventitive maintenance that wasn't enough to prevent the engine from failing at 80K camshaft failure to be precise!
