my 1st year as a p car owner and doing the 60k service

[dallison]

Just changed the oil, buttoned up the front bumper and replaced the trim buttons in the front trunk that were missing.

Replaced some rear wheelwell plastic. I dropped off the 2 rear rims at the shop to see what they can do to refinish or exchange out.

The next project before the winter ends is to replace the aos and fllush the coolant.

btw that pic looks like a 150mph direct hit by a suicidal bird

Do you really want to fly...bird strikes on jets is scary.

did the aos today. It took about an hour or so. That bottom clamp was a mother f____.

All i need to do is get my wheels back and do a coolant flush.

Just did my coolant and brake flush. Indy labor rate was $85 and they billed me for 3 hours. Porsche coolant and brake fluid brought the total to $400.
Need to do the clutch ASAP...man when it goes it goes fast.

just looked a the bill. Porsche coolant x's 3 at $30 and $25 and change for the brake fluid which they said they had to order since they don't usually stock for the older Porsche's the service.. the blue stuff. The rest was tax. I usually order parts from AutohauzAZ they charge $33 for the factory coolant and $15 for the ATE blue.
The dealer wanted $350 for the coolant flush and I'm guessing $150 for simple brake flush. yikes....oh and get ready for this...$3,800 for the clutch job and no that doesn't include the IMS upgrade.
