Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I finally got my 996 cup steering wheel installed. What do you guys think. Too hardcore? Hehe All joking aside, the feel of the car is now 10x better versus the oem 3 spoke steering wheel. What a difference.....

POST 3Original post

I saw a couple of those for sale at the Hershey swap meet today. Heres a link to an album I made of some of the sights. https://picasaweb.google.com/mikulmu...etApril212012# All you need now is some carpeting lol.... Oh and remove that manual from under the steering if you are looking to lighten the vehcle. Looks very sharp BTW.

POST 4Original post

Definitely too hard core for a run to Whole Foods!

POST 5Original post

Is it just the angle of the photo, or is the steering wheel somehow touching the bottom right part of the seat??

POST 7Original post

your car is the right color, but you still have too many interior bits remaining

POST 8Original post

It looks badass, no doubt about it. But not sure I could give up the airbag. Having watched them deploy firsthand on two separate occasions when I've been hit, they are definitely beneficial.

Wow that does look weird. It's just an illusion lol. I agree that airbags have their place, but I have 6 point Porsche Motorsports racing harnesses that I use at all times. An airbag won't do anything to help me as the harnesses keep me from moving around. I did leave the side airbags however.......

POST 10Original post

Since you've removed the carpet from your car, I don't think it's too hard core for you.

POST 11Original post

Looks awesome! Do you drive much on the street? I envy your lack of carpet, but afraid it would be too much for a DD.

POST 12Original post

Hardcore?? Car is now gutted with a Cup replica cage and never going to see the street again, but...

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 9466320

This is actually my DD hehe. I work from home and have almost everything I need within a 60 second walk so I don't drive that often...... I should add that the rear interior is also completely gutted (carpet, panels, audio) and I have a GT3 RS Clubsport roll bar in the back. At this point I'm the only one who enjoys riding in my car anymore (because I get to drive); otherwise I get complaints about it being too loud, too hot, uncomfortable, etc.

Quotes source post: 9466410

I understand completely! My back seats are coming out this week for an RSS rollbar and my wife isn't too happy about it (my 2 boys still "fit" back there). I have always loved the look of vehicles without carpet and would rip mine out in a second if I was single If I wanted a luxury car I wouldn't have bought a 911!

POST 15Original post

I like the wheel. If your tracking with harnesses no need for the airbag. Plus you preserve the wheel if you want to reverse the mod. Dotframe, my rear seats are removed as well as the belts. I was surprised to have more cabin noise with the seats removed. The seats actually help dampen road/engine noise. Also, those seat backs are heavy. I think with belts I removed around 25lbs. Once the belts were removed I bought the GT3 seat belt plugs to fill the holes left behind. Sun coast sells them for about $90 I think.. Rather expensive but they are covered in leather and match perfectly.

POST 16Original post

Is all that moisture on your doorsill the blood, sweat, and tears it took to complete the mod? So is your airbag warning light permanently on? Did you use black glossy electrical tape to cover it?

POST 17 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 9467204

Some of that moisture probably was from sweating lol. It got really hot/humid yesterday, and a random thunderstorm passed by while I had all the windows and doors open. As for the airbag light I have just left it alone for now; and yes it is on. I'll probably do the black tape mod. And for some reason my horn isn't working. I'm over tinkering with the car for now so I'll leave that for another day.........

POST 18Original post

Definitely looks good. I have heard of guys putting resistors in place for the airbag to get the light to go off.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
