130 mile back road trip with the local PCA chapter.
Around 80 P-cars, mostly 911, a dozen or so boxsters ,a few caymens, 3 x 968 and a Panamera and a 356

Probably 80 miles of it was twisties (yea baby )

Beautiful San Diego weather great fun and the planets must have been aligned as there was almost no traffic to slow us down. We were probably spread out over 1-2 miles.

It was fun watching people on the side of the road as we passed with their heads swiveling back and forth as Porsche after Porsche passed them

This was my first one and it was an absolute blast. definitely one of the best 3.5 hours I have spent in a long time

Realized that my plastic window finally bit the dust. Huge crack near the spot where the seam needed to be glued.

I knew that it was only a matter of time. I will be ordering a new one tomorrow

Fixed my stuck rear wing

I bought the car about a month and a half ago and developed a punch list of items needing to be addressed. One of the biggies was the wing went up half way when I got the car then never moved again!

Bought a manual online and went to town tonight! Turned out to be a simple fix. After taking it apart I could see one of the bumper holder tabs was out too far and hitting the wing. Easy fix... Feeling a bit proud of myself on my first project. Hoping the other projects go this well!

:-)

Forgive the bad lighting... it was late when I finished. Put the Top Speed mufflers and cat deletes in. Actually had the mufflers in already, but had to disconnect to do the cat deletes. A much better sound now with a near stock sound when cruising. I'm way happier now than I was with just the muffler.

As for power, I can't really tell if there's much more. It does get up a bit better in the lower rpms though. I'll be at the track soon and will be able to tell better there. Overall I'm very pleased and would highly recommend.

Now I just have to get an updated flash to take full advantage of the upgrade. $$$
