Looking very, very smart. Love the blue callipers - perfect. Matching seat belts?

swaini

hi Frank,
thx... I'm game for the matching belts, any suggestions or recommendations on where to acquire ? possibly without the hefty RS belt prices.. would be greatly appreciated.

I did know of one that was reasonably priced although can't remember the name However you could always give Southbound a call - I'm sure they would be able to help http://www.southboundtrimmers.com/

calipers and rotors in place, pagid blue pads..

I agree - blue belts would look killer

swaini - looking great - keep the pics and updates coming! Btw, are those 996 seats?

Gus

Did you rebuild your steering rack?? If so, were did you obtain seals and parts - ??
How hard would you rate the job ?? what special tools did you need ??

swaini

Touque: thx, those seats came off a 97 997 as far as i remember, i had the backs resprayed.


Gus: sadly, i didn't do any of the heavy mechanical work, alex tenner motors is our local porsche guru, I'm not confident enough nor do i have the tools to do this myself. the parts were sourced from fvd germany.iv never had any problems with any of their gear.

Need more pics of the front seats please.

Gus

Swaini - thanks for the note back - I understand - know FVD well. Your car is really looking good - like the color choices and have enjoyed seeing it all come together. Really like the instrument color and the "correct" layout for the tach - Now all you need is the 200MPH / 320KPH Speedo. Here is a pic of my instruments - Are you in Dubai then ?? rather than Munich???
