Default My belated introduction
I've been creeping around these forums for quite a while now however have never done an official introduction. I've been working on getting this car to where I wanted it for a while now (almost 3 years) and I finally feel like I can proudly show it to you guys! I've had a couple of threads on the work but over the past few years I've basically redone the car, new suspension, brakes and many DIYs that have been posted on the board by others (thanks to all!). I've also replaced the full carpet, installed 997 seats, a RSD and numerous carbon bits and pieces. So here it is... 1996 C2 Blk/Blk

P.s. While I do love the Turbo spoiler, it came on the car when I purchased so no haggling!

Thanks all! Mark the paint was given a serious correction last year by Rick Nelson of Unique car care in Boston... He is an absolute magician when it comes to paint!

The 997 seats give the interior a fresh look and seem to work well with the RSD. Great paint treatment!

Chuck,

It's a b&b exhaust... To tell you the truth it is junk... Very bad renosance at cruising speeds and I just looked under this weekend to find the welds cracking on both tip connections. I will probably scrap them when I change to Fister stage III.

The 997 seats are much more supportive than the standard seats they replaced. As commented above they really do freshen up the interior as they are so crisp and have a factory look to them. The silver is a good accent to the other silver on the **** and handbrake as well.

What did you have to go to get the seats to fit?
