waiting for BAR to get me reimbursed from them. nothing like a 3rd party mediator to sort thru liars
What are you paying for the mobile service? I just paid $140 a wheel for my other car to have each wheel totally fixed up from bends and then powder coated another color. I'm happy with them and price seemed reasonable, but I'd pay a little more for the mobile service.

I don't believe the mobile service can straighten a wheel but they may?

225 both wheels in/out one hour and they are flawless. i ( was in ) the wrong business lol

..and yes, they can straighten wheels/paint/powder coat ( within spec and "reason" ) on the truck. its the same truck you'd see at a "real" race. not much they can't do on it.

Equipment is better today I'm sure as the last time I took a close look the mobile set ups were just a quick touch up service. I guess if you want work done it would require doing some research and getting a good person with a rep with the high end dealers etc..

Default What did you do to your 996TT today?

Placed order for a Speedtech 3.0 X-pipe yesterday, can't wait to hear it in person.

YouTube videos and sound is one thing, in person a whole other level as I've experienced this with my former car.

Just gave it a good wash today, unfortunately rain is on the way so it will go back in the garage

cool pic, Volv4life!

I think our headlights are unique which is what I like about them.... not the typical oval, round, rectangular shape.

Drove a few laps for charity at Texas Motor Speedway yesterday - not super high speed but lots of fun anyway. The banking on that track is crazy - you can't get a feel for how steep it is until you are at the top along the wall. Only saw a few other Porsches there - mostly Mustang and Camaro clubs, but I was on track with a sweet 458 and a Lexus LFA.

Bled the brakes and installed the race pads, headed to Mid-Ohio for some high speed track fun in a week!
