September 2026 – Shop Activity
Here is a quick snapshot of some of the projects / upgrades / activities we have completed in the month of September 2026
(All of these have also been posted to our Social Media accounts (Facebook, Instagram) if you want to see more images, details).
Week of September 7, 2026
Porsche 991.1 Carrera S
An exhaust upgrade should change the experience of the car, not just make it louder. Not a lot that you need to consider when looking for elements that you can improve over the stock car…but exhaust is certainly one of them
This Porsche 991 Carrera S received an ARMYTRIX valved exhaust system, giving the driver full control over when they want a more composed sound and when they want to hear more of the flat-six. (more control than just the PSE exhaust button offers, but you can still operate in the PSE modes if desired).
With a system like this, proper installation and valve operation are key to making sure everything works together as intended.

Porsche Cayenne S, 2014
A coolant leak can quickly turn into a much bigger problem if it isn’t caught early.
This Porsche Cayenne S came in with a leaking water pump. You can see the coolant collecting around the pump, and once removed, the difference between the failed unit and its replacement makes the issue clear.
Catching leaks like this early is important. Coolant loss can lead to overheating and additional engine damage, which is why properly identifying the source of the leak matters just as much as replacing the failed component. This is one of the HIGHEST failure elements on the Cayenne, and often leads to more coolant issues (coolant vent line failure, coolant vacuum solenoid failure). Make sure you have this checked regularly once you are over 60k miles.

Spark Plugs – Service At 3 Years???
“A worn spark plug can tell you a lot about what’s happening inside an engine.
As the electrodes wear and the spark gap increases, the ignition system has to work harder to consistently ignite the air-fuel mixture. Eventually, that can show up as rough running, misfires, harder starts, reduced fuel economy, or a loss of performance. If not done soon, and regularly (we now recommend spark plug replacement at 3 years, regardless of mileage). If you try to extend the life of the spark plug, or delay doing the service, the likely victim will be your ignition coils, which are upwards of 6 times more expensive to replace than the spark plugs. If you service / replace your spark plugs regularly at the 3 or 4 year interval, we are seeing that the ignition coils will last nearly forever (ignition coils are not on the car manufacturers maintenance schedule).
At BRracing, spark plugs aren’t just something we replace on a maintenance schedule. Their condition can provide valuable information about combustion and help us identify potential issues before simply installing new parts.

Pair of Porsche 718 Boxsters – In For Service – Same Day
Two Boxsters, same formula, two different personalities / colors. We love it when we have so many cars in for service, that we get two or more of the same car, same model, but maybe just different colors on the same day.
This pair of Porsche 718 Boxsters are a great example of why the right sports car doesn’t need to be the most extreme one. The 718 Boxster provides mid-engine balance, an open-top driving experience, and a chassis that feels responsive and connected make these cars enjoyable whether it’s a weekend drive or just the everyday commute.
At BRracing, our experience with Porsche platforms means understanding what keeps that experience intact—from factory maintenance and diagnostics to suspension, alignment, and performance upgrades tailored to what the owner actually wants from the car. We cover all the standard, factory maintenance and service, and can do more than dealer, and our warranty is twice as long and deep as the dealer.

Audi RS6 Avant
The Audi RS6 already delivers an impressive mix of performance and everyday usability, but the right suspension setup can make that experience feel even more dialed in.
This RS6 received a KW suspension upgrade, giving the owner the ability to refine the stance while improving the way the car feels and responds on the road. On a heavy, high-performance platform like the RS6, suspension setup matters—the goal is to achieve the desired ride height without compromising the balance, control, and drivability that make the car so capable.
At BRracing, we approach suspension upgrades as a complete setup, not simply lowering the car. Proper installation, ride height, and alignment all work together to make sure the finished result looks right and feels right from behind the wheel.
The most common upgrades for the Audi RS6 Avant have been – wheels, suspension (usually the HAS (height adjustable spring) kit, exhaust, and the intake (my, what amazing gains can be achieved with the aftermarket intakes), and finally, the APR engine software tune.
