This C2S is just about done...
This C2S is just about done.
When I bought the car 6 months ago I knew she'd be in for a few handling & cosmetic mods, although I didn't know where the fascination would lead.
As my sig testifies, I've been active: suspension, wheels, seats, a few changes to the front end, and a couple deletes.
I'm tempted to start with performance mods (gearing, flywheel, engine), but will likely save those dollars for a 997S / X51 / GT3. Provided, of course, that my wife continues to understand & support this Porsche obsession.
Here are a few pics...

Three Wheelin'
Ron Adair,
Great looking car and wheels. I have the Kinesis K28 wheels with 10 wide rims on the rear (don't know what the offset is) that a previous owner put on. I am currently running 295/30/18 on the rear. I had to roll the fenders (very easy to do) and I am not rubbing. That is untill I had the right rear off and saw some slight rub on the oil line(s). I did two days of PCA's High Performance Driving/Car Control Clinic at Summit Point and may have over done it as opposed to just street driving. Did you have to roll your fenders? I was thinking of increasing my rims to 11". I am wondering if you are having any rubbing issues and if I can use the same offset as you have. If you can, could you check to see if your oil lines have been rubbed.
Thanks!!!!!!!

Mr Bock -
I have not rolled the rear fenders. I don't think I've had any rubbing issues with the oil lines. While I enjoy spirited driving, I've not tracked the car. You've got me curious now... I'll take a look & let you know. I'll pull the right rear within the next couple of days.

Oils lines are fine.
I checked 'em out and no signs of rubbing.
Good luck!

Ron,
Where did you get the front bumper & turbo ducts painted? Would you recommend them again? If you don't mind....would you PM me the cost for this? Greatly appreciated.
