Just checked out your website, you have some nice work there!

Headlights work great, they are nice and bright.. good luck finding the spoiler, as far as I know mine is a discontinued Porsche Motorsports piece. Techart and Cargraphics make them as well, but I do not know if they still have them.

I updated my first post with the video I shot today.

I know I will find out if its running rich when it gets tuned but Im trying to figure out whether I should order a new exhaust system beforehand.

Sharker I checked the cargraphics website and they have something slightly different, they do have a price listed but dont know if they still have stock...its going on my list

I am going to wait for the experts to chime in, but I can tell you that my turbo does not make noise like that on throttle lift

The headlight website is here http://www.ap-car-design.de/ down at the bottom on the left

Does anyone have a live link to the fix for the bent front spoiler? After the hit that Nathan's wallet has taken, a one beer fix is probably in order

Not Sure Nathan, the lights were on the car when I got it, so I am not complaining

I have some on my car from th PO, they look to be just bulb replacements not the whole light assembly. *sigh* I wish I was able to talk to the actual PO.

My 930 sounds a lot like that as well, just not as loud. Can you post a shot of the exhaust system and I can give u some more insight.

Totally normal!

I replaced the cat with a bypass and left the big muffler in place/. Mine just burbles no crackling or poping. Not a loud as yours. Sound depends on what systems are on the car

Very nice looking ride congrats! Black is best looks identical to my X/94 3.6 oh I do miss it..
That popping on off throttle is disconcerting I doubt thats the exhaust ,you said it hesitated slightly on
throttle application I'd suggest checking and or changing fuel filter and at minumum plugs..
if I didnt know any better i'd swear I heard a slight miss could be just lack of fuel ,filter should square
that...enjoy Bert!

It will be going in for a service and tune up in a week. Get the feeling it might end up with the motor out of the car, but I was prepared for that. As far as I am concerned I got the car for a steal anyway so spending some more $$ getting it up to scratch is no problem.

Go check out Korva World Class Collision, they can do this delete for you. They've done plenty of them.

Nice car and shots Nathan, those roads look so smooth in AU.
