Yesterday was the soft launch of Tech Tactics Live. Doing a project live without the ability to do retakes was a bit unnerving. Wanted to iron out all the technical kinks too. That said, I hope people will enjoy this series. Let me know if you have ideas for projects that can be done in about an hour. Link to video: https://youtu.be/6yoB7eX5sR4?t=1194

Looks like an interesting episode coming later today, Filling In A Paint Chip. Popped up on my Youtube feed and since it is live gave me the option to set a reminder.

The last one was great, makes me want to add a GT3 shifter to the 997.2.
Looking forward to today’s presentation.

Thank you Vu. I installed a new 997 GT3 shifter (standard not short shift) with my son this evening in a new to me 03 Boxster S. We followed the video step by step and the install was seamless. I'm teaching him how to drive a stick and now that the slop is gone he is finding 3rd much easier. There is a night and day difference between the old and new shifter.
By the way my car also had that unused connector. Did you figure out what it's used for? I also watched the chip repair video and that's the next father/son project. Thanks again and look forward to more great videos! Stay safe. |

Hey Vu, one thing I didn't see in the video or comments - if the car has been waxed (which made the chips show much more since the wax stayed in the edges of the chips which I believe are mostly in the clear coat), do you do something to remove the wax before repair? With pain color still showing well in all the "chips" I might try clay or correcting cream before going with Dr. Colorchip...

Yes, the connector there is for the mounted cell phone option. Basically contains power, ground and switched 12v.
