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.

if u look hard, you can see a white viper, a yellow murcielago, a yellow z06, a yellow scuderia, a red 930 slantnose, a seal grey 997...
the other crazy cars in the group were obscured. but there were more loti, a gtr, a pantera, porsches, ford gt, audi r8, etc...
it was a good run. i learned that my murc can't outrun a new gen viper, and gets trounced by a ford gt with a pulley and a tune.
Hi,
the rims are Rial Daytona racing. front are 19x8,5 and rear are 19x11. I don't remember what the offset of them are
. I will probably remove the rims this winter so I can find out then.

I had those same wheels, same fitment on my NB 2001 C4 and I changed them because they would rub even with 275s on the rear. Now I have 997 Turbo style wheels with 305s without any rubbing.
I worked as a valet at The Porsche Store in Dallas, Texas from 17-19. I swore the first Porsche I owned was going to be a 996. My dream has come true. 1999 SY 996 Cab 71k for $17K. Can't beat a moving out of the country deal!!!

My 4-year old son owns my 996. He looks for it and at it everyday, demands to ride in it at every opportunity he gets, and gets pissed if someone messes with it.
But now, he wants a Lotus
and he may just get it next year
.
He may get the 996 in 12 years too.......if the engine doesn't blow up by that time
(knock wood!).
SY996CAB, nice ride! I just scored my 99C2 with 88k miles for $17k as well about a month back. Local WA car. I need to clean and take pic when it warms up some here (lower teens right now!)
I have side panels on rear bumper. I assumed that they belong to the Aero -package but do they? Most aeros that I have seen lack those panels.
I wonder if the panels really have an aerodynamic effect or are they just for looks?
Quote:
There are part of the MKI aerokit, yes. They are functional. The MKII does not have them any longer.
Some people do not like them that is why you don't see them often. But they are correct.
John.... your P-car is constantly changing.... you def are a mod *****.

lol!!!! whats up? how are you?? i still didnt change the oil for the supercharger? have any idea when i should change it? havent put that many miles on it. we should meet up some time!
Here's my contribution to this thread. Pic was taken just a few days ago. The LR3 on the background is my daily family SUV.
The OEM aero bumper was installed a day after this pic. I will post as soon as I take some front shots of the new bumper.

do you have v2? with its own oil?...... the older SC gets new oil when you do an oil change... engine oil, thats what I have. Dont know about the new one.

Yes, they are OZ Ultraleggera HLTs. I will post pics of the new GT3 front bumper as soon as I get some good shots, unless someone wants to see the previous GT3tek lip I had on (which I didn't like).

ok, as you guys had requested. a couple more pics of the rear bumper at different angles. the diffuser is part of the valance that went under the OEM rear bumper. and yes, it is from gt3tek and it is made out of poly which is the material i prefer for anything close to the ground.
and here's the only shot i took of the front lip. imo, it looks okay on some angles but just plain nasty on most that i just had to replace it. it was changed to the gt3 bumper the day after this shot was taken.

i think i got the v2.

No, they're not OEM. I purchased them cheap from ebay just to try them out. I would safely say they are replicas. I am thinking of having them ceramic-coated black though to go with the all-black theme of the car.

I am actually looking at those LED tails in smoked. I've already switch to the smoked LED 3rd brake light (you can see that in the pics), so the taillights are next.
Quote:
Front = 19x8.5, 49mm with 235/35-19
Rear = 19x10, 52mm with 275/30-19
no spacers front and rear.
Bilstein PSS9. Front lowered 1" from stock. Rear lowered by 0.75".
Brick...Very nice. That the MKI GT3 front bumper? If so, I noticed that on some bumpers there's a blank panel in the middles and others are 'open" Is the middle opening painted or open?
jr1966, Your car looks really sweet, especially with the windows down (sorry, just being honest). Are you absolutely certain that you want to add the LED's? They look kinda cheap/Altezza-ish (unlike the 997 mk2).
Quote:
Well, I like to play around a little bit. I don't intend to sell the OEMs, therefore, if I don't like the LEDs, I can always put the OEMs back on. Sometimes, pics don't do justice to a product, so, for me, there is nothing compared to actually seeing the product on the car before deciding if it looks good or not. This is sort of a gamble, a $500 gamble. If I don't like it, I do lose $500, but I can always sell the LEDs and the loss is less than that.
