Thanks for bringing us along for the ride! Do you find you lose air with your E88s a lot. I hear they lose pressure because they are a race wheel.They have a seal in between the 3 pieces that expands for racing. I was thinking of using them as a daily wheel during the spring and summer months, but will shy away if I have to constantly refill them and go with the BBS LMs. Thanks!
No, they are good. So are the 2 sets I have for my RS. If they are leaking they need to have a new gasket installed and the bolts torqued right. As a last resort you could put silicone, but I don't think its needed.

Nah, I "LIKE" the sunroof! Keeping it skinny, and with the SR. Its a street car! (mostly).
Everything I'm doing is reversible, well except that cage (at least easily) and the removal of the insulation.
But, I enjoy my cars, and well, I like to drive them at their (well my) limit and w/o some sense of safety equipment in this car, I am not pushing it hard. That's the main reason. And well, it will look cool. And stiffen up the chassis a bit.
Ah the interior strip... fond memories. When I did it I found the carpet alone dampened the tinny high frequencies just enough (no deadening). As a comparison the RS M002(?) only has deadening over the shifter tunnel (center console) and floorboards. Still very raw but much more tolerable with the carpet than without, IMO.
Sunroof in or out? BBI has a fabricator they're working with and just did a panel for a 993 an well, it looks amazing. All metal, custom panel, no filler.
Almost done with the **** job of pulling out the glue.
Goes to cage builder next week unless I decide to fill that roof... there are advantages, like the hoop can go much higher. I will not do a full cage, though. If I did it would be integrated into the roof structure and 'hidden'.
