Looks awesome overall. I'm not generally a fan of black wheels, or tinted windows, or darkened headlights, but these seem like a "must do" on your car -- that combo in photoshop looks great!

peterp - that's great work. If I post a picture of my car, can you fix it too?

I'll wait until tomorrow to get a good picture of it covered in dirt and dust. It's only part-way there after today. I laid out a RallyCross course with it...

There's no question I'm several realms beyond awesome!!

Except, sad to say, it's not my work . Just quoted JjyKs's photoshopping. I did quote it rather well though

Replaced a bulb behind the clock in the instrument cluster. Fun times!

Purchased my 2003 4s coupe on St. Pat’s day with 21800 miles. New IMS/clutch/flywheel/Xpel/Alpine touchscreen/K40. Loving every second. Fixing window regulator next week and getting professional detailing to kick off the summer. I feel like I’ve saved this car’s soul. It’s a shame when they don’t get driven. And his name is Manuell! (long story)

And an internet fist-bump to your sir! This is exactly how I feel when I read how others are bringing these cars back to their original glory!!!

Finally took the hardtop off for the first time to enjoy this nice weather here in the NE. Then my one window decided it wouldn't go back up.

We're here. Tell us all about Manuell. What a great find.

As for me, I laid out a RallyCross course with Speedy over the last two days. So you could say; I got dirty, and had fun doing so.






The course I laid out yesterday was excellent - if I say so myself.
We had two hours of steady rain this morning. The course had to be altered in a big way. Too bad. We still made the best of it...

Washed my car this morning after driving the Angeles Crest Hwy last night in the rain with 33 other Porsches.

Taught my daughter how to drive a manual transmission car in the 996.2 this morning. She did great! How many kids can say they learned to drive stick shift in a 911.

I keep telling my wife she should give my car a shot but she is terrified. I started teaching her stick in my 95 Ranger and she always wants to go out in that.

You need a set of rally tires! That would make that a lot more fun!

Default Sprint Booster

Finally installed my Xmas present this evening. An absolute PITA to get under the dash. However I did get it in and do like the jump in the throttle in D mode. A noticeable difference in a positive way. Highly recommended.

I have multiple sets of rally tires. Unfortunately, even if I could find 17" tires, they would be outrageously priced. Will have to find some decent 17" winter tires to fit the bill. Might even groove them to work better in mud.
