Ok so the first mission was to pass smog, which we did... One little caveot. I forgot I had the GIAC flash on there heh.. Anyways if you're wondering the car passes with FLYING colors with a GIAC flash on there. Now the fun and games can begin...Here's a few goodies that we're plopping in for phase 1.... Exhaust, headers, pedals, steering wheel (arling has these btw folks), B&M SSK etc...

The suspension set up, brakes, SC and so forth will be arriving shortly but this is good for now:P

Nopes! No time to mess around lol... I love the Turbo but there's really something about a lighter weight RWD C2 with no PSM and no E-gas. I'm loving it... We went for Cross Suspension so that'll help some..

On the strut brace. I don't sell many of them and in my case I can't say I notice any difference but when we had the Peterson White Lightning ALMS car rebuilt in front of us at the shop, sure enough they had one. In fact all of the Rolex Grand Am and ALMS 996/997 cars have 'em so...

Alex,

Stopped in yesterday to meet you. I also have a 99 996 that I'm starting to play with. I'll be interested to hear your exhaust once installed. Let me know when is a good time for me to stop by again.
