Nice work! I love hearing these stories. I have an 04 S and I have taken on some projects on that I didn't think I could finish. I have changed:
engine and transmission mounts, clutch booster spring, installed a sprint booster, replaced rubber brake lines with stainless steel braided lines, brake pads, door latch mechanism, oil changes, installed the LN oil filter adapter and magnetic drain plug, cabin air filter, engine air filter, new clear side lights, replaced wheel center caps, cleaned MAF, replaced battery, removed ugly decals from sun visors and replaced the mirror inserts, installed Pedro's Bluetooth kit, flushed compartment drains, replaced spark plugs, removed front bumper to clean radiators, replaced gas cap and coolant cap with the latest part numbers, installed Pedro's under drive pulley and replaced the serpentine belt, new ignition switch, replaced the dash speakers with Alpine SPS-410s, replaced transmission fluid and also installed 2nd gear detent, replaced e gas pedal and potentiometer and have spent many hours polishing the paint. Oh yeah, one of the best things I like about the car now is the Fabspeed exhaust and headers that I had installed for me by my local indy. Love it. IMS and RMS have also been done along with a new clutch.
I love this car and it is a joy to work on although my swear jar is full now.
Here a few things that I want to do in the coming months:
treat the top with Raggtop
Pedro's Technobrace (didn't buy it yet)
Stainless steel lugs
respray front bumper
Headlights - I bought the GT projectors from Pelican Parts
Install Fabspeed's V-Flow air intake system (sitting in my garage)
ECU tuned
Have rims repainted
Take out driver's side seat and inspect the immobilizer
I have only owned this car for 6 months. This is my first Porsche and I will keep it for a long time.
Without this Forum, I wouldn't have been able to do most of this work. Special thanks to Woody for his endless supply of parts, Pedro for his website, tech articles and products and all the other folks on this site who have supplied a wealth of knowledge.
