993 C2S PSS9 Install
The car we brought back from the NJ PPI 🙂 We knew it would need a new suspension, so Mark found a set of PSS9’s for it and I went about the install this last week. While I was in there, it got the remaining 6 upper spark plugs and new hood and hatch struts. Courtesy of Rennlist. Front end coming apart. And bilstein installed 😉 Rears are a little more involved, but doable. We have a little drop link …

Motor Stuffed……
After the new FPR showed up, I started shoving the motor back in the car. Last night about 11pm the car showed up on the flatbed, and we got it pushed onto the lift and ready to go for today.

With a larger table, you can shove it all in complete with exhaust without pulling …

RSR rollbar install and harnesses
We tackled the rollbar yesterday in the RS. It was hot, damn hot, even in the garage. Got it knocked out by about 7 or so. Spent more money mid install when we decided the car needed a new exhaust…….

Fitting the bar. Did …

996 C4S Brakes and V1 Install
Slapped new brake pads in for a buddy and helped him with his V1 hardwire install. There are a couple of ways to do the V1’s in the 996, I usually like to pull power from a plug in the center console. On a non-auto dimming mirror car, you can hide everything up in the sunroof control/light area, but with the dimming mirror, space is a little tighter. Brake pad replacement. Starting the V1 install. Running the wire up over …

GT3 Seats and Tequipment Rollbar Install
Time to get rid of the living room furniture and put it to use, lol. Finally go the mounting hardware kit for the rollbar and did the install today. Since it was a nice day…..it was a driveway install 🙂 Pulling the old seats out. Old seatbelt bolt out. Since this GT3 had seats and a rollbar in it previously, I was pretty sure at least one of the bolts would be knicked up a little from install and deinstall. …
