Sold my phone dials to 911 crazy the past week (THANKS TIM!!!) and was able to afford to finally replace the worn out Ra-1's on the twists with Kumho Ecsta 4x's.

Ended up downsizing from the 255/40 and 235/45 to 245/40 and 225/45. Fixed my rubbing issue from the slammed suspension Actually leaves me room for more lowering

They're AMAZING! No longer have to fight the slicks with my manual steering and small diameter steering wheel. I can turn the wheel in parking lots almost as easy as power steering! No longer does it pull all over the place with the road. No longer is there any road noise or sensitivity to bumps. Perfection. Still handles awesome and tight. And I can finally drive my car in the rain, and even snow!










Also got my original seats sold to make money for the reupholstering of the new epic early sports seats I scored!!! Time to shop around the valley for competitive prices!









AC project currently in progress, along with valence painting so people stop complaining about the tan valence.




Things are coming together...

Nice work

Please save that cloth.

A good shop should be able to do that easily.

The cloth could be dyed back to it's original color or black

Butters944

There's 2 what look like cigarette burns on one seat, how would you repair that?

I was thinking of saving the cloth and selling it to somebody if they want it. Not a huge fan of script cloth, i dunno what I'll do.

You know Spencer screams like a girl, don't you?

Butters944

sounds like a lot of fun!

Ya know I've actually never sat in a Porsche ever, besides my own 944...

I sat in the new 911 the other week, belonged to a club member. Very nice, and strangely it felt alot like my old 944.

Been awhile since any updates from me.. I usually just post in the "What did u do today" thread nowadays.

Making more slow progress on the AC, cleaned up the condenser, have the compressor all rebuilt and new dryer ready to go, along with the box that goes in the footwell ready to go. Just gotta clean up the two main lines, figure out why the heater valve doesn't work and the cables are all funky for the controls, then throw it together and hope it works! lol

I went out tonight with my buddies and we got some cool photos around town. Don't bother asking about the camera, it's just a lame little Kodak EasyShare Z981..

first picture is a great idea....you should go again with a better camera, have the white car further back so its only the 944 and the city in the picture...but make sure you keep the white light from behind.

Butters944

I'm going out thursday night with a buddy with a better camera to do just that! I'm thinking.. Fikse wheel contest....?

Butters944

Morghen, ended up going out again sunday night with a better camera. After taking quite a few pictures and not really getting as awesome a look as expected, we went a lil more abstract.

Camera was rolling while a random car was coming up the hill, ended up with this. Submitted to the Fikse wheel contest

Wow those are some serious pic of 17 yr old kids and their cars!!! haha V6 mustang? Out of literally the thousands of beatiful places in AZ to take car photos you guys choose the back of a warehouse? and not like a cool abandoned warehouse like a new warehouse

A) tell you're buddy with an obvious not vr4 3000 that it is not actually a GTO, that JDM only and he's not cool enough for Japooonnnn... also are lowering springs that expensive?

B) Seriously rattle can the damn front bumper just get it back on and painted fawk!

hahaha oh to be 17 and in AZ again, brings me back saturday nights at the street rices uhhh races I mean.... last photo turned out nicely duder... You guys wanna do a real cool photo shoot? Go out to tortilla flat at Canyon lake (Tortilla flats is a lil town of like 11) its 30 miles of mountain grade curves and absolutely stunning and its worth the drive I'll be going when I get back into town

Damn all these reminiscing on teenage memories just made me want a 914 again... thats it I gotta buy one s*%$ this is all your fault!

Also really butters944 photography? Keith M. photography sounds 1000x times less gay
