I guess this is new wheel day.

No beauty shot yet - I'll do that this weekend. The suspension needs to settle a bit after being on the lift.

Got the car back together from repairing radiators and fans. Big thanks to jpflip for the nice DIY in renntech on front bumper and radiator removal and jimq for the how to on using 996 fans and changing resistors with the turbo worked perfect! For me it saved about 800.00 on the fans. You wouldn't believe the the amount of crap in there. Feels good to have it all back together and looking clean.

Thanks I was just playing around when my trans was being built. I put down about 5 layers of plastidip and then spayed down real automotive
Seal grey paint. Tested it first on a old washer cap first and it peeled right off. I was surprised how smooth the real paint went down on the plastidip.

Wow the new GT3RS looks like a beast. And the 918 is just sublime.

Love the 918 and would drive that anywhere but the GT3RS is a little much, more of a track car=just another opinion lol.

I think that GT3RS rear spoiler shows just how high the spoiler needs to be for it to see clean-flow air.

Made in Italy !!!

When I changed out my broken wheel arch liner I was quite surprised the old one was made in Italy, is this a common practice?




I didn't look to see where the new one was made.
