amen to that brother.. straight out of the Porsche service manual.. cleaning grounds is always the first step.

The g is a performance car when properly maintained.


I love taking the G on road trips.. probably why I have put almost 25k on it in 2 years. GT car is my goal in the build, and by definition is Grand Touring.. so get out and drive.


I had a blast driving to Atlanta this summer and spending a week on the beltways and the twisties around Decatur and Peachtree..despite the crappy road conditions the Bilsteins and Eibachs sucked it up.


I really want to hit the Tail of the Dragon though.. we need to organize a SE/Mid-Atlantic mountain meet up and cruise.

JDM DD trim came in.

At first the JVC deck didn’t sit flush, it was sunk in which I found was an issue with the JDM trim.

When I slid it forward to mark the brackets to drill, the face wouldn’t fit through the opening of the trim, so I had to shave the sides of the deck.

Still needs some tweaking, but it’s getting there. What a PITA.

Interesting. I have a JVC HU but it didn't fill in the opening of the JDM trim kit but did sit flush. Used a trim "ring" to fill the gap but it was installed 5 years ago. Yours looks good, here's how mine looked finished back then (and it's still kicking strong these days as well):

Grille and eyelids came in.

Just finished the install; letting it bake in the sun.

That is an awesome color Edgar!

Today I had an appt in Charleston that I turned into a proper roadtrip and hung out with a buddy.

Bonus points to the first one to ID the wheels on the Porsche.









Oh and BTW on a 40 roll I destroyed that 997. (On a hwy deep in Mexico....we were the only ones around)

Your neighbors, small children and low flying birds are probably happy about that!
