Corbeau RRX
They have a red plaid as well, which I saw available most anywhere that sold the seats. I only saw the black/ grey version direct from Corbeau though.

Installed some 7mm/15mm F/R H&R spacers on the 18" wheels. Ready to install Cayman r suspension in a few weeks now.

New wheels and tires. I was not a fan of the poorly painted lobster claws that were on the car when I got it.
Apex SM-10 and Nankang CR-S

Changed the rear brakes, and did a (somewhat) flush of the brake fluid.
Changed to Brembo DOT4LV.

Very nice. I pulled mine last fall and am doing the same thing. I have a Sand Beige interior and saw a pic of it painted gloss black and decide to do the same.
I'll post a few pics when I install it in April

I thought I saw some bubble come out.
Brakes are much more firm.

Does anyone change the flex lines to steel braided?

It was a necessity on a 914.

Back on the dyno. Catless headers only before/after. No tune. Almost always the dyno for a tune will be in conjunction with intake, catback exhaust, intake plenum, throttle body, and/or headers (catless or high-flow cats). I've always figured 90% of the gains were from the headers alone and the other stuff is either ineffective or marginally helpful at best. My dyno essentially proves that. 28whp gain with catless headers on an otherwise completely stock car. Same exact dyno, same exact car, and I even mounted my factory wheels back on the car to keep that the same.

impressive! Any negatives, or feedback from driving it?
