Default My new toy

After debating on entering into the water cooled world again, I decided on another air cooled beauty! It's a 97' with about 45k on the clock. Some of the mods that have been done on the car are a Fabspeed exhaust, euro front bumper w/ turbo s brake ducts, and an upgraded steering wheel...absolutely love the steering wheel!! I bought it from a fellow PCA'er who maintained it extremely well, and am very happy with the purchase. Can you guys what the first few mods will be? Hint...I feel like I'm stepping out of my 4runner when I get out of the car! Oh, and I'm not a big fan of the "bling bling" effect of the wheels. Anybody have some 18" wheels they looking to part with?? Car will be visiting Viper Bob very soon.

I have a set of the Factory 18's on my 96 C4S with good tires I can let go of, I just got a set of the 996 TT Hollows to be put on. The wheels are still on my car now, no curbing and maybe a couple very very small nicks if at all. No idea what these should go for. PM me if interested

Very nice! I agree about the wheels and ride height though.

Where in Florida are you?

Chris:

Sweet ride- love the steering wheel! I agree on the rims though- my personal preference is for MY '02s. As seen in Justins avatar!

Cheers,

Paul.

Sounds like a great baseline for some more mods

Congratulations!

I think your first mod should be to sell me the 3-spoke and put on a stock wheel. The stock wheel would make that car handle better.

Love the car; looks like a solid buy and a great platform for the modifications you have in mind. And I agree, the chrome wheels are less than an ideal match.
