Default Another newbie

I finally pulled together a few pictures of my car. 2004 996 x50, which is quickly turning into my track toy. List of mods so far includes KW v3, camber plates, 997 SSK, Recaro Profi seats, RSS 4 point roll bar, harnesses, OZ wheels, UMW Tune and actuator mod, solid engine mounts. And a few other secondary items.....please don't tell my wife!

yes, I drive it that low, but lately it's mostly on the track. There is a bit of rubbing on very tight turns and I do need to be very careful around ramps and curbs. Color is seal grey

Thanks. For most common service items Ernie at Mantis. It also helps that I live 10 minutes away from the shop!

Sweet car, saw you around Oakville a while back

Mantis is a very good shop, I believe the most used in our areas (in no specific order) are:

Mantis
EU Autowerks
Sports Car Boutique

Have fun with the beast.

So far I've spent $ with two of the three. Mantis and SCB. Very happy with both shops.

Btw...where did you get the picture of my wife from????

I was admiring your car at Brent's the other day. I was dropping my car off and saw yours out front. Gorgeous colour.

Great mods. Which camber plates do you have?

The KW V3s are set a too soft (rears) IMHO from the factory for track duty. A few turns and you are good to go.
