Default Spring Time is Drive Time! So who's got fresh photos?

Headed out early in the morning to the Texas Mile in Goliad. Looks to be about a two hour trip each way. Looking forward to airing out the 951. Gave Code Red a bath today and she cleaned up mighty pretty!



Got the digital all charged up so I can post shots of Red1 and his runs afterwards. Should be a fine time!

She's looking great, Keith! I agree with 9fitty1, those cups look good! I'll try to take some pictures sometime soon while on a drive and share them here.

Now that's FUNNY.

Garage does appear to be missing. Maybe this is the year Code Red goes out. I'll see if I can dig up a garage pic later today.

THEN I'll have pics!

My friend Eric, who goes by "NO-H20" here on Rennlist (he has a 911SC). he normally does not look that scary, he was just being silly.

Gotta agree with Sam Tifo:

On a related note...what's the skinny on those "cup" wheels on the red 951 at the top of the thread? The 5-spoke guys?

Size, price, availability? I always liked the way those looked on 44's.

Those are standard Porsche issue Cup wheels off a 993. Fronts are 17x7 and rears are 17x9. The wheels were purchased from a local 911 speed shop for $800 for the set of 4 and then sent out for refinishing at a cost of $100 each. Total out lay for wheels was $1200. Since they are on an 86 (early offset) I had to go with 21mm spacers in front and 28mm spacers in the rear. Tires are Bridgestone S03's and yes - I like them very much!
If you are inquiring as to fitment on your 88, then you don't need the spacers - they'll bolt right on.
