Default Pictures Of Grant's 968 Turbo at Performance Racing Industry Show 2006

I loaned Heritage Motorcar
my 968 Turbo for display at the 2006 Performance Raching Industry show held this past week in Orlando FL. Of course I was very happy for the opportunity.

Here is a photo from the show with my car featured at the Dynapack display.

Grant, just beautiful. Where did you get the rear spoiler from?
Seems like 2007 Hershey might happen after all. Look forward to seeing you and your car in person.
Congrats!

Jason Hiler of Heritage in Largo FL did all the body work on my 968, including paint, resculpting the nose, and the turbo wing fabrication. There was a lot of detail work in the turbo wing, including anodizing the aluminum parts. He also painted and installed the 968 Turbo front air deflector that I bought from you!

Grant, your car looks awesome! I have the same wheels and big reds, I wish I had the engine upgrades that you do!

Oh yeah Grant, forgot to ask, how do you like the Bilstein setup? Would love to hear your impressions.
Regards.

Very nice, one of the cars to really encourage me, what turbo do you have in it?

Grant,

What do you mean by "resculpting the nose"? Did you reshape it somehow?

I believe he added the larger turbo S opening in the oval area.

Also, if I remember correctly, they got rid of the center cross section of the bumper cover. His grill should be the only thing in the lower section with nothing else going across.

Thank you all for your enthusiastic comments.
I just returned from some days driving my 968.

Raj, the suspension is fantastic. The ride is not at all
harsh, even with the 18" wheels. I love Interstate off ramps


Here is a close up of the turbo wing.

Wow! What a beauty. That is one nice looking engine bay. It's really cool that Heritage even went so far as to make their own beauty covers. Everything looks so pristine. Looks like a stock 951 turbo placement too.
