Let me know what you think...

911Jetta

I think you win the introduction post award this year!!

OMG! Wow, just wow.
The work you've done on the interior is just amazing! I love seeing the car's color inside, it looks so honest and simple. Nice routing of the black heater duct hoses.
You've done a fantastic job of hiding everything behind the shorter dashboard knee panel. Very clean.
Is the interior dramatically louder naked like this?

Tell us more about the switches, is one a spoiler switch?, the key image is to turn on the power?, what's "F"??.

Gorgeous finish on the engine fan too.

It must feel so alive!

Awesome, awesome, awesome and loving your gear **** - where's it from?

Incredible work, I love everything about it. Can you provide more info on the shifter?

What a build! Loving the stripped interior. It's just so damn clean. In for more info about the switch panel. What kind of hp does it make?

mark my words

Yes, it is LOUD - really loud...

The panel for the switches is made from a thick aluminum. I machined it to perfect size, drilled the holes, put the switches in and that's it.

The upper part of the shifting **** is a lightweight universal Aluminum **** of E-Bay - the lower part is a carbon fiber part (with a black paint job) that I managed to fit to the upper part

Terrific job! Just simply amazing! One of the best I've seen.

Wow, this car looks great. Nice job. My silver C4 is jealous!

Incredible 964 ****. Mine is a daily driver, but i really would love to turn it into a beast like yours. How did you attach the **** to our factory shifter? I am looking into this as we speak. Is the carbon fiber shaft just a cosmetic sleeve?

mark my words

First of all: thx for all the nice words!

Cosmetic sleeve is the best way to describe the carbon fibre shaft.
I machined a aluminum shims that connects the universal shift **** to the factory shifter, thats why the carbon fibre shaft is no bearing component.

Beautiful, some really nice touches, the switch panel is lovely

What did you do with your brake and clutch pedals? they look very good

Earlydays

Outstanding!

Looks like griptape, remowed rubber?
