    I get nervous servicing some of these things that aren't ment to sometimes, all these orings/gaskets I am replacing are fine, just wanted a project, and I got one.

    I did install this oring kit on a customer car a long while ago and it turned out well.
    Both the duration of the pump running and frequency decreased as well as quicker shifts, his orings were much more deteriorated than mine however.

    I also plan to "fix" the wiring up top, either with new wiring (I have a new pigtail) or shrink wrapping the existing wires.
    The wires up top on the transmission have a tendency to loose their insulation where they enter the platic, short out, and cause issues.

    I managed to get CHF11s all over the wiring, I hope it didn't wick itself up into the plastic portion.

    Here's a photo to make sense of my long run on explanation of all this, lol.

        My Karb CSL Concept engine cover is on its way! I also are in the process of getting a front chassis reinforcement plate in carbon.

          Pulled the CSL trunk out of storage, it has a 09/22 build date. I have all the accompanying OEM pieces to install at the same time, I remember reading somewhere that the screws were incorrect though?

          Anyway, I've completed the license plate lights wiring, using the guide found on these boards.

          I plan on test fitting everything tomorrow, so far it looks fairly plug and play, Karbonius seems to have fixed the inner tail light issues this batch.

              Interior looks great. The tri-stitch especially is a nice accent and really 'pops'!

                  Thanks! I did most of the work toward the end of the season so I haven't had much time to dial in fitment and enjoy it. Looking forward to warmer days ☀

                          That looks so clean. What door cards are those?

                            Happy with the fitment of the diffuser? I have a SG diffuser and the fitment on the edges don't line up very well. Looking to possibly get another one. Looking at miles end one also.

                              I would say fitment is 8/10 which was well worth it for the price I paid at the time. I wasn't looking to pay 2x for perfect and it being a black car helps hide the gaps a little more. So my recommendation depends on your budget and expectations.

                                Went to pick up some items from my trusty powder coater.

                                AC Schnitzer strut bar (yes, I know it's worthless and yes I have a brand new Rogue Engineering race brace) painted millennium black.





                                996 calipers in a muted silver. I wanted these to “disappear” behind the ZCP wheels without standing out too much. Not a perfect match of course, but will be unobtrusive.
