Smog. Right up there with going to the dentist as one of my favorite things to do. Passed with flying colors though after ripping up and down the freeway for 40 minutes.
You should find an amazing dentist and then you'll love it
beautiful looks like my early 99, if you have factory 408s, the leather dash, and the Nokia sound system pretty similar car. Yes love that blue stripe and the ducktail, now time to put some smiles on it. The black one is the darth knight my 03 triple black turbo. Yes both are modified.I’m washing the 99 today, already put some leatherique on the interior, welcome to the club, looking forward to your thread.!
Thanks, Im not sure on the exact build date, I think its 4/98, but they are factory 408-optioned Hollow Spokes. No leather dash, and not sure about audio, happy to have put the cassettes I have in the tape holder haha
Sunday swapped out my locked up drivers side window motor assembly for the refurbished one I bought off ebay. Went quick maybe 1.5 hours. Window now works perfectly and is much stronger. The motor has been dying for some time
First... new Ignition Swith, because my Key turns hard and sometimes it doesnt gets out of the lock. But...doesnt work. So i gets out the hole Part left of the steering and found a lot of Grease, that turns into something hard as Candy. Clean with Break Cleanes, puts PTFE Spray in it... better, but not good. Next step: cleaning the lock itself with Break Cleaner, cleaning the Key, puts PTFE Spray into the lock... LIKE NEW!!!
Next: put a 991 Badge to the front hood. Like those more than the original ones...
NEXT: Build a now fuelcap with gold Screws and without the "Clic" Mechanism. With those, the Cap isn´t straight when closing it...so you have to turn it another 20 Clics to make it straight...but thats so loud so the other Persons around thinks im an Idiot becaus i´m too dump to close my fuelcap right... so...it´s lightweight, it works, i´m happy with the Result!
NEXT ... doing my Gemballa Exhaust to the 996. Sorry, no Pics for that. It´s quieter as i thought! But it gets louder when the get warm... so it´s fine for me! Picture is an older one from the day i install the exhaust Pipes. I like it like that... perfect size.
NEXT: Install a new Climate Display from AliExpress. Fits PERFECT, works PERFECT, looks similar to the original one. Maybe the Letters are a little bit different. Bt you only see that if you look on an original one. So for me: i don´t care. I like it like that.
NEXT: Test my new Rims... ETA BETA Krone, 11x18 with 285/30. When it gets lower next Weekend i think this going to look great. I have to repaint them... thos red centers looks horrible.
By the way i install my GT3RS Carbon Rear Wing... just for looking. Seems to be good with the rest of the Aero Kit i´ve bought!
Next step will be to create new side parts for the wing, because they get lost somehow...
Love those wheels as well! I picked up a set for my car, but haven't mounted them yet...
Also helps they're one of the lightest OEM wheels (the rears are lighter than the precious 408 hollow spokes) Tires should be here this week then I'll mount them
I installed a wireless backup cam with a 5.8" display mounted in place of the CD storage unit. The cam is from TypeS. I removed the CD storage trays, machined a piece of black starboard (plastic) to fill the hole where the CD holders were. The camera display has a magnetic mount on it so I screwed the magnetic mount to the machined piece of plastic and cut a slot for the USB cable to go down to the USB port I installed using the cell phone connector plug in the center console.
Replaced my 21 year old engine mounts on my 02 4S that were VERY loose and cracked with PRG Products ones and like many of you here noticed the difference in driving feel. They also brought the exhaust tips back up to proper height. Tarett trans bushings next.
I’m considering engine mounts. Any before and after pics? Thanks
