Looks awesome. Will NY let you get away with the yellow headlight lenses?

Are those headlight rings stock? They seem to fit a bit different in the pics.

I love that car.

Looks great ilko! I really like the direction you've gone with the white wheels, ride height and mods.

Looks great Ilko! I'm especially liking the color matched wheels.

Great looking car Ilko, i would have been a buyer for it over the summer if i hadn't bought an '88 earlier this year.

Thanks guys, it's shaping up quite nicely...

Mark, I haven't been stopped yet, but I haven't driven the car yet all that much either. I had the same yellow headlights on my old RSA and was never pulled over.

Steve, these are the H4 headlights, standard on ROW cars and noticeable upgrade over the US H5.

Ken, call Pino

Duck, I'm glad you didn't! I'm having too much fun with it now

It was my pleasure and a lot less work than Frank's turbo the next day. It turned into a complete exhaust drop and 12 hours of time.

Car looks great and sounds strong. Can't wait to get a ride in it. I have never been in a 3.8 conversion. Have fun this weekend. BTW those cult werks parts are nice. Wish I knew about the euro center section for my track build.

For those who have gone with the Cult Werks RS bumper, did you have the entire bumper painted in the process or just the center piece?

Interested in a socal vacation this winter We could line up a whole bunch of 964 projects for 'ya!

Thanks again Tony!!!

I only did the center section. Didn't want to have the whole bumper repainted and if you have a really good paint guy to match the paint you don't have to IMO.

He'll need to bring his lift and tool boxes too!!

Mr.Alex

Looks great Ilko. Don't know if I would have the patience to have a white on white car. But looks like its going to be a fun car to follow on those bear runs next year.

ilko

Thanks Alex! White on white might not be for everyone, but I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

I put the finishing touches on the car over the past weekend and had a chance to take it for a good spin on Sunday. It felt pretty good although I'm still getting used to it. I'm not as comfortable in it as in my 993 but I'm sure with a little more seat time that will change.

It seems to fit as it should have come from the factory... Great job!

Is the difference - the way the car handles - because of the rear suspension?
Glad to have you back in a 964, love the spec. list. Drooling!
