Tried to get LED turn signals and brake lights to work %^&*$. And said, "Stuff it!" I had just waxed her so I needed an excuse for a drive. Grabbed the list. Went the long way shopping, taking on some twisties. Yes, we have some of those roads in Texas - just not like CA or CO. Saw a sport bike and both of us took off! He passed me I passed him, there was mutual respect of speed. It ended with a salute and a pledge to get a Gixxer!

I decided to do the Crios Exhaust Mod. Found a punch at Lowes that was ¾" in diameter and costs $12. Pretty cheap and easy. I had the mod done in less than 5 minutes. It DOES seem to provide "more flow" at higher RPMs (wish I would have thought of it earlier in the day - could have given the Suzuki a better run).

Then, I packed up my wife and we went out for dinner. We enjoyed the long way to the restaurant but had to take the short way back. You KNOW what it is like driving aggressively on a full stomach.

So my day was cut short by eating….have to remember to do less of that!

I just changed my AOS and cleaned the throttle body now have to put it all back together.

Will probably wash the engine while I have it apart.

Changed my oil. took me 4 days
It's been 7 month and some where around 3000 miles
Why 4 days, I dropped the sump plate. I did it last year to check.
I still need to cut the filter and examine but the sump was super clean.
I'm much happier with this locktite 5900 application then last years. Last time was on my back, colder weather, trying to apply to engine side. I wanted to kill my self
This year I applied to the plate side. At least I could stand up and apply
That Locktite plunger system is the worst possible way to apply this stuff. Trying to push the plunger, maintain a steady hand and a small bead is painful. This stuff will not flow through the 1.5mm hole.
I got-her done though so now I can sort of relax. I still nerviously check for any signs of leaking

Finished replacing my rotors and painting the calipers.





And yes, I rock the Goodyears. I love them.

Agreed - I had a terrible time doing it. I saw a picture one time of a tool like a caulking gun that this tube slips into and then you have a way to put some real leverage on it. I have never found the actual tool yet.

If I ever do this again I am going to use the Drei-bond which comes in a metal tube with a winding type handle built in to help force out the sealant.

This weekend I installed leather trim pieces with red accent stitching from Redline. I'm pretty happy with the results, as I tend towards the subtle, OEM-looking changes.

[BXTRBRU]

spent Sunday afternoon detailing the engine, actual detail is cleaner than picture shows

[lskolnick]

Completed my conversion to matte black buttons.

[Blackcloud]

I replaced my original lights with CCFL’S purchased from Dubaday. Not to hard to do. Also replaced the trunk struts.

[Brockster]

I had a new top installed with a glass rear window

Drove my oldest son up to my friends house so he (my son) could buy and pick up his first Porsche! He bought it from a good friend of mine after my son drove it down the mountainside when my friend had to evacuate due to the fires here in Colorado. He told him if he ever wants to sell it to give him a shot. 2 weeks later he is the proud owner of a beautiful 1970 911T.

Well...I’m jealous

[darmahman]

@BruceH - Me too(jealous) but he has worked very hard(unlike his dad...) to get to a place where he could afford this. He has wanted one for 20 years and at 41 everything aligned and he was ready to pounce...

Wonderful story.

Sadly put it into winter storage. Only put 1900 miles on it this year, usually drive between 5 and 6k. No where to go when sheltering in place. Hopefully I'll make it up next year after we've "turned the corner."

That is one hell-uv-a 'First' Porsche. Too bad he couldn't get something newer.

[gabedrummin]
