Default 2017 Goals/resolutions for 997

It is said that writing down one's goals helps to ensure their achievement. If so, I figure sharing them with the world should make them a virtual lock. Here are mine for my 997 C2S in 2017, in no particular order, save the last one:


1) Install third radiator (already have parts)
2) Install Rennline engine mounts
3) install braided steel brake lines
4) Change motor and trans oils
5) Plasti dip aftermarket summer wheels bronze (just for kicks)


And most important:


6) Obtain safety equipment (helmet, etc.) needed for HPDE events
7) Participate in at least two HPDE sessions.

As soon as I take it out of Winter storage:

1. Replace HPFP
2. Change oil & brake flush
3. Wash, claybar & wax for the year
4. Upgrade to Sport steering wheel

Drive the poop out of it as I always do!

Maybe revert back to stock tranny mounts.

Install my OLED boost and vacuum gauge and the inside CF cowl trim I bought. I got all of these Christmas 2015 so definitely need some kind of resolution in 2017 to get them done - need to finish building the Widebody Cayenne Turbo first, but that should be done by March.
