I think we are both on the same page here.....something better than the current plastic coolant expansion tank or design one that is relocated to the front near the radiators... perhaps having the expansion tank accessed through the front bumper area and also design a smaller front radiator to work in concert. At least it could be removed and installed by removing the front bumper and would open up the area around the rather warm engine.
Cant put the resi lower then the motor without a significant rework of the system. Its location is fine if its designed correctly to be removed with the motor in or made of a material ljke aluminum so it doesnt need replacing.
DeJeeper, good point on the placement of the coolant expansion tank. However, I would like to get one of these factory types of covers that might be padded maybe with some magnetics added and soft enough which are now NLA.
What's it called? Part number? Maybe one will surface on eBay eventually.
That's my car in the above pic and it's called a "service cover", part #PNA50599600. I found it NOS on Ebay for around $60.00. There was a guy in Oregon that said he could duplicate them but he needs one to use as a pattern.
They made one for the front seat too. I can dig up the part number, but I think it's NLA too.
Glad to hear our CF mirrors were a hit! We have more CF stuff on the way for sure! I love the idea of a CF cowl!
Thanks for the response everyone! The engineers have their eyes on this thread with itchy CAD fingers! Keep it coming!
@Rennline, any progress on any of the suggestions?
How about carbon fiber instrument trim rings instead of brushed or polished aluminum....or the entire fascia that is usually black that surrounds the instruments with a choice between gloss and matte..
I thought a customizable decal that could be applied to the spoiler bellow might be interesting. Surprise message at speed.
Carbon fiber… really anything. I’m surprised at the lack of, what I’d call “show car” parts offered for the 996. Coming from the corvette world, there is a plethora of billet oil, coolant, steering fluid, etc. caps available. While not my cup of tea, 90% of the vettes had them.
Colored carbon fiber emblems and badging may be kinda neat.
I’d also like to see someone develop a tested and proven intake manifold, not just a plenum.
