Awesome thread!

I used to have a magnesium cup "cage" that bolted to the roll bar a few years ago, I think I bought it at VIR? You could zip tie a liquid container, and have a silicone drinking tube come out of it. Of course I mostly used it as decoration...

Keep up the pictures.

So now you have to wonder, if you go any faster, was it the diet ? The rear window ? Your mechanic guy waving some special voodoo over the car when you weren't looking ? Maybe you scared your car into going faster with all the grinding ? Maybe the cool new carbon inside the car made you feel you could go faster ? Or maybe the cup holder, and special front grass clipper ?
Hard to tell ..............

IF that ever happens, I'm sure it will be from the mechanic's voodoo.

Wow, cool to see your "other" car in its metamorphosis. Sounds like a lot of fun. Are you missing track time? It's still track season down in TX...

By the way, your old 997 is doing great - I'm going to head out on a drive in her now.

Actually I'm at the track right now.

Glad you are enjoying the 997!

Actually I know 2 different ways to do it although i'm not sure either is really worth the trouble.
