Cheshire Cat

Thanx. Well, they use all sort of designs, pretty much from old school racing JDM up to racing European wheels, "Y" shaped BBS like are classics so... btw JDM Concept are really nice guys to deal with, no affiliation though. My rims were built to order basically, wanted to go with no adapters or spacers, but it takes time.

The design is the key. If you don`t mind non Fuchs designs - Work wheels and SSR wheels from JDM Concept (ozzie dealer) will work for you. 2000-4000 depends on the design etc For lighter and more expensive wheels - CCW in the US. Shipping is killing though. Good quality billet wheels, cheaper than the rest billets. from 900+ usd per wheel w\o shipping etc Fuchs design - there are options but none of them are cheap or, lets put it this way, affordable. But here you go Rotiform, HRE, fifteen52 - from 1700 aud per wheel landed. 18-th wheels on my car, Work wheels Meister series

Can I have a few pics of the seats and are they fiberglass or steel framed? Thanx

Sorry if I missed it somewhere, could you post a pic (or a few) of this please?

It`s ok, you didn`t miss much Well, so far the actual ECU tuning kinda frozen for a while, saving money for some dyno blah-blah. Meanwhile I`ve decided to sort out my stereo setup just to do something, cos I`m bored. Since I have 2 amplifiers (4 ch and mono) for front speakers and a subwoofer I wondered if I could go with bi-amp setup. Why? Well, as I mentioned before - I`ve got bored, then it was an album with sound quality I was not satisfied in my car (on proper headphones it sounds good enough) aaand I wanted few other bits and peaces to fix such as get rid of those huge crossover boxes. Apparently I had to obtain a new CD-Receiver in order to cut the frequencies in proper way. Long story short - I`ve got new head unit for cheap with proper equipment, redone my wiring, put it in proper way and order and now I have those sounds I was hearing in my headphones. Not so much of the photos, cos mostly changes been done under the carpet and in sound sections. But still - the head unit. I sorta noticed that it`s not designed in a old school way but for less than 150 bucks brand new - what else do I want?

Thanx Al for your input, I hope it`ll be quite helpful for everyone. And thank you for your work, you are basically a role model (at least for me) in meanings of ITBs

I commented on their news source about the rear lights the same - a bit thin. Otherwise - we shall see. So far this is the best backdate for 996-997

nope it's not.

wny not?

This is pretty interesting time we live in. Backdates come along with massive wide body kits etc. A compeny from Moscow named Clinched make widebody kits and over fenders for a veriety of cars but they`re interested in Porsche market as well. This is a render but looks quite inetersting. Sort of backdate for 996 to 964. Honestly it`s the first time I dig into this backdate.

Spotted a beautiful 997 today on Peninsula link on a way to the city. Lowered and with PFA sticker around 3.30. The guy in red holden ute wanted to say she looks fabulous

Hey Neil, have you started her yet? Have a hint how to make the synchronizing a bit easier

And never start thethe car jjust to make sure:)))) But with the socks it's quite easy to get them off for the show purposes.

I know that some guys can do the same with BMW Motronic systems and I believe it should be quite close to Porsche ones in a technical way. But since BMW have really lots of models using it and Porsche just a few - I assume there no reasons to mess with it. I can ask to double check if you want. I'm pro standalone ecu myself so... No worries guys, I'll add some more to make it complete as much as it possibly could be with time. Well... It's going a bit slow I have not much time to do it in one try. And again - with on the road tuning you always need someone to help you out. Got the idle on lower rpm. Hopefully before Xmas I'll make it to a dyno to get some numbers
