Default Recently acquired 996 GT3 MKII ClubSports

I am too thrilled to share among all GT3 lovers about my recently purchased GT3. It's been repainted to white and fitted with RS flywheel and the customer stickers with 997 checks style as well as 997 GT3RS rear spoiler.

Mechanically, the car had been fitted with Gemballa adjustable shocks & H&R spring, Cargraphic full steel cat-back exhaust, IPD plenum with 997 throttle body.

I am currently seeking for ECU refresh that can maximize the performance given the current hardwares I have. Any one can share some tips/experience?

Thanks

Nice. Not sure about those stickers though.

FYI...that's a 996GT3RS rear wing.

really nice car and RHD to boot.
IMHO, you need at least a cup splitter with that wing....................its a wear item.
+1, I too would loose the decal.

Nice car.
Can you comment on the IPD plenum and larger throttle body?

I can't agree more with this humble statement. Very handy to use with great result comparable to bulky DSLR! Nice taste

with majority of polling views, seems sticker aren't appealing. So what's next?
1) peel them off
2) find replacement, and what?

Stickerless. No need for them. Unless you want to mimic the 6GT3RS stickers and just have it read "GT3" instead if "GT3 RS"

I'm not a fan of checkered decals but it actually looks better on the 6 then the 7. I say keep it on til a group of rl members starts picketing on your front yard : ). I don't think u need to reflash nething. From the pics they did a real nice paint job. Mike

I actually like those graphics on that car. Unique.

If you want to be 'proper' of course get the 996 'gt3' stickers, but who cares about being proper, really.

Good looking car and great pics.
