Thank you. I like the 917 Replica ***** I have in my air cooled cars. Wanted to see how I liked on in the 996TT. Sourced this off eBay. For the price, it was not going to be too painful if I did not like it.

EBay 917 Style **** for 996/997’s

Oddly the other day I was thinking, damn I'm tired of not being able to see my engine on my GT3... it like boring to not be able to see anything. Yet my buddy has a a cool looking V8 and can pop the hood and geek out on it.
Yeah, I didn't get to see mine when it was out, only a few random pics... the engine in my Suburban is better looking...

This, is an ugly engine , easy to work on. Ours is the kinda girl you take out and spend a bunch of money on every date and after a few you realize, she aint that special. Fortunately i havent been on a date with her yet.

It's mahogany with gloss finish, used on most 917. Porsche used balsa for the 908, birch for the 917 and beech for the Carrera GT

And those engines are pretty sweet, not too cluttered...

Is that a 560sl to the left? There is some solid German engineering. A buddy of mine had one and put almost half a million miles on it before he sold it, great car.

The wheels look good too...

Yes 1988 560SL with 60,000 miles - and yes unbelievable engineering. It's almost as heavy as my F-150
