Default Must have - 996 full modification kit

Hi Dell, was great to see you again last week (got stuck in London on my way back)...

FYI, below full Techart/Bilstein modification kit that I found yesterday in a store here locally.... (these kit's come in different colours - SY was not available so went with the blue one....)

Happy Holidays and all the best for 2011 to everyone!

Just gave two of those kits to my sons, both in their 20s, for Xmas. I always get crap about "When I'm going to buy them a Porsche"...Told them yesterday morning, Merry Xmas, here's your Porsche, and all the upgrades you'll ever want...

Testing, 1,2,3 .... Testing.

Hmmm, thread seems fine...can't believe there have been no non-mods for this long...

Well, the biggest reason I have done nothing to the car is that since I got back from VIR at the end of November, I took the wheels off to get refinished and have new street rubber mounted. The shop I decided to use relies on another shop to help with the chemical stripping of the wheels. Once thing led to another and she's still sitting on the lift (pic attached) as she has sat for 7+ weeks.

Not to mention the sting of xmas on the wallet. Daddy's waiting to see what Uncle Sam brings him next month before the non-mods commence.

Stay tuned.......


ps. I did do the wheel stud conversion non-mod less than a month ago while she was sitting on the lift

Being that I'm a new grampa, the seat interests me... Being that I live in the communist wealth of virginia, the hardwired radar insurance rate increase device, not so much...

How did you mount the pro booster? Did you attach it to the anchor on the rear shelf?
