Bora Posted 17March, 2015 Report Share Posted 17March, 2015 Hi Guys, It's been a while since i've posted on here... I know some of your frown upon modifications but hey, each to their own. This is my passion - my individuality - my daily driver. So here are some updates * full 996.2 facelift * GT2 body * LED 997.2 style rear lights * 380mm 8 pot front brakes + 356mm 6 pot rear brakes * RWD conversion * GT3 full carbon fibre seats * Other carbon goodies inside * Additional weight reduction mods * Re-trimmed interior (black and brown) * Flared the wide body rear quarters with +20 offset 20x10.5 running 295 wide Pirelli P-zero's * Front guards have also been tailored to fit 10.5" wide wheels + 40 offset. * Cold air intake * Completely custom built variable exhaust system (from quiet to straight pipes) * Riviera blue paint with racing stripes (painted NOT vinyl stickers) * Brake calipers painted to match the theme of the car * Full sound system upgrade (still looks standard but sound is incredible) To top it off i have had a custom hand designed 911 rear badge made to replicate the "carrera" font. Which now says "911 Custom" Happy viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poli84 Posted 17March, 2015 Report Share Posted 17March, 2015 Looks stunning mate. Well done for doing the 'hot rod' 996, you've pulled it off nicely and the car is certainly a looker. More pictures are encouraged, including the interior! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk111 Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 Great colour and tasteful updates! I would love to hear that custom exhaust system, post a vid if you can. Congrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 That car is no shrinking violet! Must be great to have all that work finally completed. Certainly grabs the attention. Now , to avoid the other boys in blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bora Posted 18March, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 haha thanks guys! The car is ridiculously loud with the exhaust open... needless to say i don't drive with it open but when you want have a little bit of fun..... it does the job! I will try to get some more photos of the interior soon as well. The brakes are also the older brakes... the new ones are much larger than the ones in the picture (same colour though) If i can scoop a video with the new exhaust i'll post that up as well.

JV911 Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 We’ll be meeting bright and early at The Old Road Café @ 7:30am (just north of Brooklyn), then heading north towards the Central Coast. From there we’ll be wrapping back towards Sydney on Peats Ridge Road through Wisemans Ferry, where we’ll cross the river and track down the River Rd following the Hawkesbury River back to civilisation and to our brunch destination, the Bella Vista Hotel.

spiller Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 That colour is hot! Great looking car mate. I go back and forth with the idea of painting my wheels in this colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 I normally prefer more 'understated' 911's but that colour scheme and overall look is very nice! Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys, ive actually just picked an original porsche theme and put my touches to it. If any of you can guess the colour theme is actually from the 2007 GT3 RS. The only thing is i cant bring my self to paint my wheel orange as well... i feel it might be overkill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
