Nope, I got stuck in putting on Öhlins R/T, rear adjustable toe links and solid bushings all around plus new wheel bearings all around, "Pedro bar etc". Time flies..

So this spring I plan to:

-Put on new brake rotors and upgrade the pads to something more track worthy
-Put on some side skirts (996.2 Gt3 look) This one is NOT performance oriented, pure looks..
-Put in a lithium battery, I ordered one from Lithium Next.
-Hopefully get on with changing transmission mounts, still haven't choosen what kind.
-Looking into strut braces, will this be the year?

Any updates on the transmission mounts? Curious to see what you got and how they worked out.

I installed PRG Products transmission mounts, the price is competitive and they are rebuildable. See post #59 here:
Bought a 2000 Boxster S project.

I installed PRG engine and transmission mounts. The engine mount was easy, tranny mounts were more of a PITA. I was having a little "bang" with every gear change due to drivetrain movement, the mounts took care of that. A little more vibration seeps into the cockpit because the mounts are firmer but I like it.
