Repainted the mirrors. Come to find they don't match the wheels. So gotta have the wheels redone now.

Baby got new front shoes
Now I have to drive around on pins and needles until I wear them in a bit
I put 34000 mile on them plus what ever the PO did.
They were Sumitomo HTR Z III. That what I went with again
I know I went 5000 to far but I was able to do all of my driving last year in dry weather. I'm now thinking I may have gone 7-10000 to far. I replace the Rears about this time last year. I should have done all 4

Hey, I'm doing a IMS bearing upgrade from EPS with oil feed, rms , and a clutch. When I got my 986 it had no service records, so I want to get it up to par. I'm also doing a water pump and thermostat 160 degree, aos, coolant tank, oil change, spark plugs and spark plug tubes, and brakes. The car ran good when I got it, just wanted to know what I had.
My 986 is a 1997 with 57,000 miles 5 speed.

You'll practically have a new car when done, and that is a low mileage car to begin with. Peace of mind means a lot. I have the Pedro DOF on the engine he rebuilt in mine.

Thanks to forum member Deadeye for the parts!

I got to put on axles, my old ones where in pieces when I got them off. Obviously needed replacing when I got the car.
I also put on a regen valve, no more whistling at all the other cars now. 2 new drop links, no more clank clank when
going over a bump.

Last but not least and probably my arch enemy the fuel tank vent valve wasn't working because the magnet switch had
fallen out and after all the research and looking over that stupid piece numerous times I went out and spent the time to
take everything apart and look through it and found the magnet switch. All resolved and I can fill my tank up once again
like normal. No more extremely slow filling.

Until next time!

Thanks again Deadeye!

Edit: The pictures have really messed with the formatting. I did a hard return at the end of each line, should help
the people on mobile.
