I spotted this over on 6-speed. I am not affiliated with the buyer. If I didn't already have an OEM taco tail waiting to be installed, I would grab this. $1,000 seems like a pretty good price for a RUF part.

I'm glad I have a taco tail waiting to go on my car and not the duck tail...I don't think my fragile ego could handle the criticism. I still haven't gotten over Ben telling me that all black wheels only belong on UPS trucks.
Tim, I saw an old episode of Top Gear where they did a drag race of an Aston Martin DB5, Jaguar XKE, and a Honda Accord similar to yours...the Honda won. Thats not bad company.
Hi Steve, I hope you are enjoying your steering wheel. When you ask me about project cars, most of the time you have to specify....it's a serious addiction. The Porsche is great. It's a keeper. I haven't started on the 59 Maserati restoration yet, because I'm waiting for my ebay buyer of the Alfa to get his car out of my garage. He is from the Netherlands. He bought the car on 10-7-08 and has paid for it in full. I'm not sure why it is taking a while for him to get it shipped. I can't really complain because it's paid for, unlike a previous ebay adventure. Here is a picture of a project that I just bought last week. I should be picking it up in a few days. Judging from your list of repairs, it sounds like your Porsche is treating you pretty good.
Mark- Your 'old' steering wheel is such an upgrade from the 4 spoke, makes driving my 996 so much better, plus an improved look. I was asking about the Maserati project...no wonder your buyer paid in full for the Alfa, you make it very easy to do a deal . I enjoy my '99 C2 and just went past 44k miles this week on my odometer. I have had no issues other than a bad front wheel bearing.GL on the 'new' project Bimmer.
It takes some getting used to on the newer cars (whereas it looks so perfect on a 73 RS), however I like it better than the stock 996TT spoiler. I assume it would fit a 996TT just fine, but can anybody please confirm? Also, any reason to worry that it would affect downforce / upset the handling? Thanks.
Thank you. I did see a similar design on a Maritime blue or similarly-colored 996TT in a post a while back. I'll try to find that post and see what kind of decklid that is. As for the front spoiler, I would ideally have a GT2 front bumper.
Greetings from MN! I saw that too, and had to laugh--your wheels looks great. I have really considered black wheels for my 996 too. 6speed is kind of a moth-and-flame thing for me. I buzz over there once in a while, get grief for my choice of 18" wheels or lack of a wing, and then leave.
(I am guessing you meant me and not the OP--I liked his wheels a lot too.)
Thanks! I saw them first on Ray S's avatar and liked them a lot! In real life they are even better. They have a great finish and all smooth surfaces. Easier to clean than others I have had. You can use stock Porsche hubcaps too.
jon996, very nice with the champion 18s!! i've been undecided on wheels for quite some time now. but i'm pretty sure i'm gonna stick with 18s on my dailydriver c2.
I am no aerodynamacist but it looks like that would generate more drag and less downfoce than the standard MK1 or MK2 aero decklid. I like the look of it tho...
Jon996, thanks for the compliment on the wheels. Your wheels look fantastic. They are stunning with the red paint. I read a post on 6-speed last night where Ben told someone that their car looked like junk...I just shook my head. I appreciate how civilized it is here. The E46 Fanatics forum is even worse.
Steve, I'm sorry I missed your post about this steering wheel...I thought this post died. I'm glad you like it.
I believe that Ben just got banned from 6Speed as well. He seemed unusually harsh in recent weeks...even for Ben.
Thanks for posting the ducktail for sale. I'd consider it, but the car in the pics looks like an authentic GT3 (prob. not an RS), but isn't the GT3 intake vent area different from a standard 996? I believe this is why there are two different types of taco tails you can buy for the 996...one for the aerokit (non GT3), and the actual GT3 wing??
