i priced it out at several performance parts places and they ran the same.

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.

This website is like Christmas! All of these gorgeous p-cars give me ideas as to what to do next to mine! 6speed has cost me a fortune in the last 5 months! Now, I have to be fair and split the mods between both of our p-cars! I've been being a mod hog lately.
Some pics of my 40th. I have gotten rid of the orange sidemarkers with clear ones but I only have one pic unfortunately..these will have to do for now.
Pick up day
Clear sidemarkers
My attempt to be artsy

New home for the car
I would really like to lower it, but even right now I can barely make it up my driveway without scraping. Lowering it would destroy the front, arrgh
nice rides and pics guys... keep em postin!

stop your killing me!!! did you take the pics??? any time, i will love to take some pics with your car! im in queens. let me know.

Sadly, as much as I'd like to, I likely won't get different street wheels for the car. I track my cars often and most of my mod money goes into track time and consumables. If I didn't have the track hobby nicer street wheels would be on the top of my list...
To take it a step further...I even know exactly what look would be on the car if I ever did wheels...and it'd be Work mesh wheels (like Benjamin Chio has) with gold/bronze centers.
Andy
absolutely gorgeous
same goes for audi's
and if you had the work brombachers on that thing it'd be game over for real. the 996 mk1 aero is so hot with 19" mesh wheels like so (in this example 19" bbs lm):

it's better looking than the mk2 aero - much more fluid, original intent

i would love for some to give me a test drive in there 1999 c2 with a supercharger. im in new york so any body thats not to far. i will like to see how much of a change would it be???

You can check out mine...but she's down for the winter. Thats when I usually do some mods... when it gets warmer... maybe when we do the photoshoot. Since mine is a 3.4 like yours, you can drive it back to back.
edit: Boxstergirlie, you drive the 911 sometimes? Let us know about the chatter issues on the LWFW, is it annoyingly loud? TIA
Quote:
So, how are you liking the LWFW?
Where did you buy it and how much?
Curious since I installed mine a few weeks ago, just hit ~300 miles since the install so time to go have some fun now that it is broke in. Gotta love Texas weather!
Quote:
i LOVE it! i drove it and rode passenger just so i could feel the difference. it REALLY did change the 0-60 factor! i'm very happy we made the choice go get it. i was a bit hesitant to have it upgraded as i didn't know how much difference it would make, but now, i'd always go with the LWFW. feels like much more HP!
if they did a new clutch with the OEM FW, they quoted $2000 to $2200.
for the LWFW, it was $3000. they didn't charge me anymore for the parts. i priced it out at several performance parts places and they ran the same.
it snowed here in seattle today, so i didn't get to have any fun and try it out much. =(
Quote:
i wouldn't recommend doing it personally on the 911. it makes more noise and there is no additional hp out of a lwfw on this car. in fact you lose pick-up from a start a bit. it's all seat of the pants.
p.s. that's brandon that jokester!
benjamin,
well....dang. too late now. it's all installed! lol! oh well. we'll see how it does and when the clutch goes out again (hopefully not in the time we own it!) we'll look at OEM again. by then, we'll be bumping up to the S or maybe the T version anyway.
thanks for your advice! we'll take all into consideration when we get the next pcar.
<~~newbie pcar owner. only had the 996 and the 986 since late may.
sooo much to learn!

Noise (chatter) has not been an issue with my LWFW, very, very slight to the point that it is frankly not even noticeable even with AC on. Spools up more quickly too. Granted it does not increase HP but reducing the rotating mass by 20+ pounds does make a difference.
i've notice the noise to be a little chattery, but not bad at all so far. i hear they need a little time to break in a bit? oh well, i think of it as "music to my ears". lol! for anyone that gets into the car and doesn't know anything about LWFW, they may think "what is that sound??". But, to anyone else that knows about mods.....they'll appreciate it.....i hope. i do when i drive it. i've truly noticed a difference. i call it "throw your head back in the seat factor". and now, it has a little more of that, along with a big grin on my face when it happens. i'd say it was worth it. haven't taken it to the track yet. that won't be 'till spring. it's snowing here! aghhh!
btw..carrera mike......BEAUTIFUL!!! thanks for the pics!
Quote:
let me know when you do this cause i have the 3.6 which isn't that much of a difference but a slight difference....
i know not every set-up is identical so it'll be interesting....
Quote:
Will do. The SC 3.6 is much faster, it is at least another 50-60hp... so @around 475hp+ easily is a big advantage....but the 3.4 is more tunable, for more performance.
Quote:
i understand the concept and idea, but real life results don't add up. it's not as good as the OEM flywheel setup on the 911.
spools up more quickly? we talking about turbo engines here?
Quote:
No experience with the OEM LWFW though have a hard time seeing the difference being that dramatic.
Spooling, <meh> bad word choice, you get the point though. Rotational mass is the enemy was my point. Two cars with equally skilled drivers with the only difference being one with OEM NON LWFW and one with a LWFW. The one with the LWFW will have an advantage in some aspects such as coming out of a corner since the engine will rev up more quickly/freely. Will it make a diff in the lap times, maybe not. But there are some aspects that could give a competitive edge.
we've had the lwfw in the 996 for a week now. i've noticed a big difference in coming out of corners, but also for acceleration. i think, personally, it was worth the difference in price. we'll see when we take it to the track and try it out this spring.

They have a dealer in FL where I got mine. My paint shop, a concours quality work tyoe, took some labor cost off because he said he didnt have to work in prepping it that hard due to the excellent material and finish that it came in. I think your next question is hoew much
I paid 800 plus shipping 2 or 3 years ago. Under my signature, there should be an album with my install....Ooops.. I thought I did. I guess I took it out
There are some pictures there though that show different angles.
