Just love the color of your car and how it changes in each photo depending on the light. Amazing that you can get 275's on it. How about a pic from the back showing the full tire width?

Are those pics before the rear camber was set to -3 degrees? They don't look that cambered. If that is -3 in the rear, then what's the front set at if it looks like it's more negative than the rear.

Hit those fenderwells w/ some Simple Green and a wheel brush. There's beautiful blue paint under there.

Thanks! The wing is actually a genuie Porsche turbo wing that came on earlier 911s. It's exactly like the RSA wing with the exception of the rear wiper hole. RSAs didn't come with a rear wiper whereas it was an option on early 911 turbos.

Thanks bud! I agree, I do like the look of more meat on the tires. As far as scraping, I don't scrape at all. In fact, I have a pretty steep driveway and I don't scrape going in or out of it. I just have to drive in at an angle and all is good.

Thanks Mixter. The color wasn't my first choice but I have absolutely fell in love with it. I love the fact that there aren't many 964s in this color let alone any other car on the road. Definitely unique.

Yup, the pics were taken after the camber was set. All I can tell you is what the shop that did the adjustment told me. So I guess to be honest, I don't know for sure. As far as the fronts, I was told it was -2.5.

I'll get on those fenderwells!

Looks so awesome. Are you running camber plates with your KW's ?

Thanks Frank. I have yet to speak with him. I'll get around to it. Where is he located so I can take into consideration the time difference? How much did you pay for your set?

Thank you! No I'm not. Maybe next on the list. Thinking of going with elephant racing. Anyone have experience with these?

Been quite some time since I updated this post. Since the last post, it's been pretty quite on the mods but I did install a dual exhaust which I absolutely love. The tone is a tad bit deeper and louder.

I also picked up a pair of Pole Positions which are getting installed next week. Just waiting on hardware to arrive. While I wait for the hardware, I decided to have the backs painted to match the car, including the ghost stripe. Here are a few pics to show how they came out. Hope you all like as much as I do. Stay tuned for the installed pics. Enjoy!

Been a minute since I updated my thread. But a few changes has happened since.
Pole Positions went in
added Schroth harnesses
added a "dummy" spare for looks
had Sleepers Speed shop fabricate a X brace for the frunk
Sleepers also installed the titanium hood prop
installed the Rothsport shifter + goldenrod
Added some Rennline goodies - air bag delete, track mats, fire extinguisher mount
Refreshed the motor to clean it up a bit, including RS heater bypass.
Enjoy the pics.

I just read through this thread for the first time the other day. Thanks for the update and beautiful build! The matching striped Recaros are a nice touch.

Insane build. Very classy, down to the last detail. I'd love to see a picture that better shows what you did with the shifter boot on the interior. Trying to figure out how to do mine. I think having the rubber gaiter exposed like yours is the cleanest look for that shifter. If you can snap a quick picture that would be awesome.

Thanks fellas!!! Appreciate it! Been a labor of love but its all finally coming together.

Lee, here's before and after pics of the shifter. I also like the look of having the rubber gator exposed ala Singer. But as you know, there is that empty space after the leather boot is taken off that is just an eye sore. So Sleepers Speed shop out in Costa Mesa fabbed a metal plate with a cut out for the boot for a nice clean look. I wanted it to seem as if it came factory that way. I think it turned out great!
