Default Best Shops in VA & MD

Hey guys,

Just had Intersport and Euro Pros team up to do some mods on my '03 996TT.
Mods included CF hood w/pins, GT2 decklid, and Cup wing, 235-35/315-25
PS2s on 19" BBS RS GT wheels, OMP Quick Release whl, Rennline floor mats, gutted interior incl. delete sunroof motor & seal up roof, front wiper mod, and rear wiper delete.

Many thanks to Art, Charlie, and Dogan at Intersport Performance in McLean, Va for their superior master craftsmenship and to Jack at Euro Pros in Gaithersburg, MD for taking body work to an artistic level.

Next project is a GT2 front bumper w/CF lip spoiler, Racer's Edge solid suspension kit, and Fabspeed cat bypass. Yeah, I know the CF spoiler has a short life span, esp. when it meets up with a speed bump. Oh well, it does look cool though.

Woohoo! Burn Rubber!!

Linda
'03 996TT (Previous surgeries incl. EVOMS ecu reflash, Fabspeed Maxflo exhaust, headers, 200 cell cats, CAI & BMC filter, muffler bypass, PSS9s,
H&R sways, DAS Sport Weekender roll bar, Simpson racing harnesses, & Recaro Pole Position seats.)

'03 C4 Cab (Gone to new home in '06)

P.S. Sorry the pic quality is not that good. I picked up my car and then it rained. Naturally.

Welcome to Rennlist, Linda. Love the TT! The guys at Intersport are great -- been taking my car there ever since the factory warranty expired.

Wow, she must fly. Building a hard core track car? Think I've seen your car in Kentlands area pre-cup wing & CF hood.
Jack @ Euro Pros is great guy.

Hey Kolshak,

I see we both like Lapis Blue.

Yeah, I head up to the Kentlands area occasionally. It's a nice weekend drive.

Since this is my only car, it's doing double duty as a daily driver and track car. It would hurt me too much to leave the car in the garage during the week. I want to drive it as often as possible. Speaking of which, it'll soon be time for you to put the top down. Enjoy!

Linda

Thanks, Paul. Love the color of your 996! Mick, I'm sure you'll really like the supercharger. Burn rubber, guy!

Isn't that what the big red thing in the picture is for?

no - that is just a hand-held fire bottle. Supression system is a must when you have gone that far down the path IMHO. Try reaching around the side of your seat when you are strapped into that race seat with harness on and just hit the wall... Those are the times you appreciate purpose-built equipment like a real fire system with huge red button in easy reach when fully buckled in. Have been on the side of the track in a field of smoke holding a little fire bottle like that waiting for the corner workers and wondering if I would be on fire in a few moments. Been there, done that, and simple answer is the right system.

That car HAS to be fun Linda and Charlie is a great technician and loves his work. He knows how to put a car together that is for sure.

Thanks for the good advice. I'll get that taken care of pronto!
