White Out, You sure have a clean 996 for you not to think its special. I suppose some have sentimental value and some have $ value. Didnt know the back story on yours, just thought it looked too nice to track. If you wanna get serious about track I would look into a damaged GT. Saves you a lot of work.
Just remember its only a car and its his car. Anything done can be undone. If he enjoys it who cares.

What is there to confirm? It's clearly stated under everyones name if they are a memeber or not. Trying to stir up some $hit? What does it matter if he is or isn't a memeber?

It's a 996. I love my car and it's my favorite vehicle I've owned to date, but if I wrapped mine around a tree I could have a comparable one in the driveway by the end of the week. You can buy a decent 996 for less money than a well-sorted Evo or STI nowadays. You are not a beautiful, one-of-a-kind snowflake.

Your anger has clouded your reading ability. You obviously did not read where he posted he doesnt even own a 996. Dude, realx. I wont be visiting Canada this year because of you.

Why indeed..

Surprised no one has clued in yet with that the project is.


I know for the fact that he is not wrecking this car but only making it uncountable times better.

People need to get off there tiny high-horses and let things fall into place before making un-needed comments.



Can't wait to see it on the road!

They make spin-on filter kits. Maybe he got one.

I dug into the wing a little more today. Looks like I will be drilling a small hole in the plastic runner, through the spoiler arm, then putting a bolt through it to hold the wing in whatever position I want it set at. Super simple, cheap, and lightweight.

May a suggest replacing the wing with a GT 2 wing, saves weight and adds cooling.

While the GT2 wing looks great, I spent $2 to make the wing fixed.

This spring, I will modify it for better airflow. But for winter, I would like to keep some snow out of the engine bay.
