That was my reaction
I had both the shirt and the hooded shirt
If you can fit the hood under your helmet, the hooded is even better

Of all the go fast mods I did to my race car, the one mod that stands out above the rest, and isn't a direct go fast mod, is the cool suit. I love it!

Welcome to Rennlist and sorry to hear about the leak!

For my 996TT of the day... I just installed the Rennline grill kit yesterday to prevent future damage and found a pile of leaves, rocks and garbage. All of it was hiding in between the radiator and bumper ducts. Unfortunately, you can't see it unless the bumper is off and this is the usual culprit for radiator damage. Next on my wish list is CSF radiators since I have damage already.



Check out the pile on the floor from the right radiator



Santa also dropped off a lighter helmet for this year and matches the carbon hans

Took advantage of Markski's Christmas sale and got a tune from 911Tuning. Great mod! Happy customer!

Thanks for the welcome!

I may have to consider that Rennline grill kit. When I removed the bumper and ducts, I had more random bits than yours fall out!

In any case, I've placed an order for the CSF radiators this morning

you might consider doing the fans at the same time. They fail with some frequency, and you will be looking at them. If you are considering replacing the hoses, order now because a couple of them are hard to get - at least they were a month ago.

I would doubt at his mileage he would need fans but the hoses are a good idea just because of age= just another opinion lol.
