Jabrony, your car looks amazing, particularly the wheels. Good job.
All you need to do now is lower it a little.

That is the exact car that I have been looking for as a stable mate for my TT.

Gorgeous!!!!

Tightened two hoses off Y piping, put spare wheel and tools back in to balance the front end (I was getting airborne with the RWD and nothing in trunk), made sure I ran with a FULL tank of gas.

Took car for 40 mile spin to do some 30-80 mph and one 60-100 mph, one 0-60 mph spin

Having some problem reading VBOX as I did 3.2s 60-100 mph and 7.7s 0-100 mph but haven't worked out how I deleted those runs (if I turn engine off does it undo all past data ?)

I was also clear bra'd so I decided to find the longest possible route to Trader Joes

Yeah not so much...not a fan of the "clear" bra. Here's mine after 10 years bra-less

Oh yeah. Are you totally free of chips on the hood and front clip? Can I ask that you zoom in to the point where you put your face within 6 inches of the paint surface.... ??

If you are then I need to move by you because one season in Chicago will sand blast you to pieces.

Just my .02.

On the country roads I live on my car would be Swiss cheese without a bra. 911-al you are a brave man to park your car in a parking lot lol. Great photos everyone and if I knew what end of the camera to point I would add one.

In shop having coolant pipes pinned. Ridiculous Porsche hasn't stepped up on this one. While there, installing new water pump, hoses and clutch (preventative) and LWFW (fun).

And of course, after it went in I learned I may be moving overseas. Blargh!

Got my RUF wheels. 8.5x19 and 11x19. Now choosing tires: not a lot to choose from. I want Pilot Super Sport, but they don't make 315/25R19 for the rear. Should I go for 225/40R19F and 295/30R19R? (RUF recommends 235/35R19F and 315/25R19R which have nearly identical diameter/circumference as the stock 18 inch tires)

FWIW, Michelin PSS run a bit wide compared to most tires. I'd say that a PSS 295 is closer to a 305 of another type, etc.

Decided to go with 225-295 combo. Yes, they are a bit wider..
