go bigger with wheels and tires without doing body work.
Yes but nothing looks better transaxle wise than a 924 GTS mate unless a 968 TRS is on the cards

Tim,
Did you see the Rahal BMW white M# with the black outline graghics? I wish I had done my car that way in red/white.

Yes, that is sort of the look I'm going for. I did gaudy last year

Will get some pics today as I load it on the trailer.

One pic from this weekend at Barber. The 968 brakes and rotors were amazing. Pictured is the car with 255 nittos. Looked even better with the wider 275 Hoosiers.

Looks stunning Tim - nice to see you enjoying your p-car

Do you have pictures of your front splitter from under the car you can post for me to see

Do you want some free white D9 stickers - I promise they will make it go faster

I have photos of the substructure holding the front end on if that is what you want? I do not have a pic showing how far back the splitter goes under the car but I can tell you that it goes beyond, and sits slightly below the front of the original aluminum underbelly pan (which is still installed).

Are you suggesting that it looked bad as Lightning McQueen?
