Rhapsody in Black...
Cheers!
I have been wanting to share photos of my GTS for a long time with all of you...
Finally a professional photographer from Norway came to visit and offered to take some snaps. I hope you enjoy them..!

Wow - these are great pictures of a very beautiful car!
A few questions:
- Are these TechArt Rims?
- What's the story of the bulge on the hood?
- Did you know that there is a rubber cap missing on the intake over your flappy?
- What kind of air filter are you running? If it's a K&N, consider doing a search here...

Hi,
Thank you very much!
Techart yes...!!
Strosek hood...
-From a mid eighties styling kit.
The original airintake flappies got a bit tatty....
New ones were approx 350 US each..!
So I nicked some from one of my other 928`s...
She also has fully adjustable Bilstein shocks and coils.
Much sportier and lowers the car very nicely.
I have all the original bits,
but I prefer this set up.
She has a complete engine overhaul with ported tops and X pipe, plus RBM.
I bet she churns out around 400 hp now.
Great power curve...!
Just pulls and pulls in all gears...!

Sweet! I like the wing. Also the steering wheel adds a touch a luxury. Seats look in great shape too. Very nice.
Are you referring to the air intake hoses to the air filter box? Nicole is refering to the valve in the middle of the air intake. The end is missing a rubber cap.
If you want to keep your car a happy camper put back the protective cap on the 12-pin connector in the front right engine bay. And to be nit-picking: the straps that hold down your air filter are clamped down rear wards, where forwards is the original way. It works both ways however.

Yes, give us the specifications on those wheels. Sizes and offsets.
Also, what are the tire sizes?
And can you post a few more still pictures of the car? Hard to see the wheels while they're in motion.

Hola!
The yare 18 inches.
I have 225-40-ZR18 in front and 285-30ZR18 in the rear
I am not sure about the offset, but here is a clue...
I have about 25mm spacers in the rear.
None in the front.
Fits like a glove...!
Plus they are nice to drive with.
I also have a set of 996 Turbo wheels, but they make the car careen all over the place...
So I am selling those.
The techarts also come in black.
And 19 inches as well.
I have had lots of wheels on my GTS, and these are my favorites..!
And yes..!
They do fit S4 and GT as well.
I own both and have tried.
Cheers!

More pics of the GTS and Techart wheels.
Here are some more pics as requested...
I do love my 996 GT3 RS wheels too...
They are unfortunately sold as I needed the dough..!
The are made in magnesium and have the same offset as the Techart ones.
Remember that these shots were taken by a pro..
He could make Jeremy Clarkson look like Brad Pitt..!!)))
