putting it away for winter next weekend or earlier if they decide to salt 'just because'

Post up some good snow pics!

Took mine in to the Indy for a check-up after completing the 3000km run-in following my engine rebuild. Everything is hunky dory and ready to fly.

Getting ready for winter, temps are dropping to below 30C in the mornings.

I put mine away for the Summer. Winter is the best Porsche weather in Texas.

I think he'll be fine since they will be separated by the rest of the interior and not compared side by side with the exterior color.

replaced my broken gt3 rear sway with an oem drove for a week could tell no difference. picked up a fresh used gt3 bar for 150 put it on and still won't be ( honestly ) able to tell much ( if any ) difference LOL

half kidding on the "no difference. it's stiffer in the rear with the gt3 bar on 3rd setting but it's not a day/night difference. thats for sure. hills/canyons only. over 100mph? who knows.

Sitting here with my knee on ice (fresh scope) wondering if ill get to drive my turbo before snow flies, my built gear box is still in a box waiting install at Airpower Racing at Miller. Great shop but street cars take a back seat when there is racing to attend to. They had 3 cup cars get busted up at the last race, and had to them back together for this weekend.

It's a factory painted piece, so it should match. But yeah, it looks different under fluorescent light.

Got the car at 4:30 yesterday. First time I actually laid eyes on it.

First order of business is Turbo II wheels. Second order of business is reverting to stock lid/wing.

If you're looking for wheels, I'm selling my factory GT2 TurboTwists....unless you mean 997.2TT 19's...
Factory GT2 wing or aftermarket?
Cheers,
Rob

Thanks, Rob. I looked at those and then the 315 section tire selection/pricing. i bought a set of the Turbo IIs already via Craigslist -- only 2 were bent! LOL

Too bad about your wheels!
315's aren't too bad, just need to be dedicated to the grip
Cheers,
