If you are talking about 997 turboII wheels, I don't think they will fit the 996. The offsets are different. The Sport Techos she is currently wearing are considered to be highly desirable by us 996 aficionados. You definitely want to save them.

Ha. Thanks. I'll PM you on the Sport Technos -- they are sitting on the floor at Wheel Enhancement now waiting for me to fetch them.

I'll be passing by Sat on my way to Camarillo where Mike Schatz has been doing work on my cars for decades.

I'm not quite up to Stunt until I get some more seat time. And after a LOT of seat time, maybe Deer Creek Road...

But I did fill up the wheel wells today... Wheel Enhancement set me up with 7mm front and 15mm rear spacers.

yeah buddy! my backyard literally.

7x15 is awesome. ran that for a cpl years on stock twists before i went 9x12x18. was a perfect stance.

well it would be nice to give ya the nickel tour someday but sounds like you know your way around the "park" lol

cheers and enjoy the car!!

I changed my oil today for the first time in the 8 months I have owned the car. I noticed that my mechanic used an aluminum washer on the oil tank instead of the copper. I was ready for the oil with a pretty deep oil pan that I had bought at harbor freight. The hardest part of the oil change was jacking the car up and then tightening the oil tank nut while holding the other wrench.

I also painted my rear bumperettes with wurths satin trim finish.

Detailed mine twice on the weekend as I got blasted by a gardeners dirt debris on a highway just after I washed her.. doh

Retuned back to 93 octane after running E85 for a few weeks to see power difference (it is quite enormous). I was doing 40-80 mph in 3rd gear under 3.00 secs on E85 and 3.2+ on 93 octane

^1 on the sport technos those'd sell faster than a warm hooker on a cold new england night.

Replaced the engine air filter. Got rid of the K&N filter the previous owner had (real dirty) and put in a Mahle paper filter. The filter was perhaps oiled heavily since there was some oil under the airbox. I plan to replace this once a year anyway and I do not want to deal w/ washing/oiling K&N filters.

Best decision you've ever made!

Unfortunately you lost 10HP according to K&N.

"02996ttx50

haha i agree best long term decision that you can make regarding incoming air. my bmc used to look so nasty i could no longer deal with it. then there is the issue of oil.

paper malhe, the only way

I have exactly one each of the 18" Sport Technos (hollow, of course), front and back. I ran over a 2x4 at speed and took out the right front and right rear wheels.

Let me know if you're interested.
