Description
I have two 968 RS adjustable wings and spliters. One wing is used the other is new, both front splitters are new. All parts are exact copys made from an origonal mold.
RS Adjustable Wings $700.00 each, incl shipping to any where in the USA
Front splitters $250.00 each. incl shipping to any
where in the USA.<hr></blockquote>
I see no point in spending ~$1k for the carbon fiber version from AIR; with installation, paint, etc you'll spend $1200 on a spoiler!
This thing is REALLY lightweight...I'll get it painted amazon green metallic after the holidays and have it installed.

Turbo is doing well...in fact I was messing around with my GTech a couple nights ago doing some 0-60 runs. It's the first time I'd used the GTech so I wasn't quite used to the way it worked...so I'll have other measurements soon. I couldn't do better than a 6.5 second 0-60 because I'm getting serious wheelspin in first and second gears. My 255 Michelin MXX3's absolutely suck and don't grip for **** off the line...I used to be able to launch the car great before the turbo conversion but the boost hits so soon [2800 RPM] that I just spin the tires even when trying to modulate the throttle.
I haven't had any time to tune the mixture yet, it's way off. I got an adjustable FPR about 2 months ago but the fitting on it is different than the 968 fuel line, which is smaller than the 944/951. I've still gotta get the car back on a dyno after tuning the mixture and putting in a new chip to retard timing under boost...should get a solid 260+ rwhp at 3.5 psi. I'm thinking of quitting my job so I can find time to enjoy life again...working 70+ hrs/week preparing for the holiday season gets to you pretty quickly, and I've been doing this for 6 months!
