What did you buy your 996 this week?
There's one of these threads on the 993 and 997 sub forums and I and others I've spoken to think they're brilliant. So why invent what you can replicate? :dont know:
Mine is.....2nd hand calipers, fitted alongside 2nd hand discs to allow me to get the originals refurbed (the paint was peeling). The discs will keep me going a while I think as the ones I had had already covered 17k in my use and were pretty worn when I got them.
Why not refurb the 2nd hand ones rather than fit twice? I can't explain. I just like things like that to be the ones that were fitted at the factory unless they're broken or actually need replacing. Not logical but feels right to me.
Took two hours to swap and just looking at how to get the originals refurbed. Had a quote and great customer service experience from Pro Caliper so looking like that's the route I'll go down.
Also getting my roof painted due to bird crap (I bought it with a small blister and its worsened - now envelope sized 'bald patch'). It's a complicated job because of the sun roof that needs dismantling and painting seperately. Also need front PU painted so it matches the rest from. Poor previous job and recently my dodgy parking.....
I'll post pics of all jobs when finished :thumb:
