i really liked my x50 car. those few extra factory horses i suppose.

"the transmission being strengthened"? where'd that one come from? i'm confident that isn't part of any x50 package(?) but add the aero kit and you have a fantastic specimen. now i know why i shared your enthusiasm for the car.

I found it on the internets...

Thanks for the X50 info. I like the idea of the transmission upgrade. I hope it's true. The exhaust is louder than my C4 but the Nav radio attenuator works really well. A small item I didn't realise I would like so much.
I'm removing the 3M clear bra. Looks OK but probally has been there since the car was new and maybe not as slick as it once was.
Anyone know where I can get some GT3 wheels?

i'll just see you on the 33, and we'll sort that sh*t out real quick

"02996ttx50

well, don't like the idea.. TOO much. lol.

and good luck on the gt3 wheels. you'll need it, though you clearly have good taste.

"02996ttx50

that's awesome! i read it now myself and i still don't believe it. but ya know,..ya can't believe everything you read on the internet..

though i still like to think my gf is really only 24.

old news, is sometimes no news. i dunno man. nothing conclusive there. the x50 has triple cone synchros just like the std 6spd does... and the talk of steel. i'm calling i'net legend ( though not legion LOL )

and not for nothing.. i had to open up my x50 cars trans TWICE. to repair for 2nd gear. nothing stronger in that one. whereas, my current car at 104,000 miles has never missed a shift ( at least on my watch lol )..

equally inconclusive,.. but possibly instructive. who knows.

Get UMW flash your car, you'll be happy. I just bought a 2nd set of GT3 wheels and I'll keep an eye out for your next set.

Interesting transmission stuff. Sadly; I don't think I would break a transmission, even if it made of paper mache. ..I do like to have cool hardware eventhough.

Those wheels look good on your car. What are they going for these days?

Usually $2k or so. Just check the classifieds like a hawk. I found a set on craigslist once as well. Guy went silent though after a few dialogs.

2nd set?!? You only have one Porsche to put them onto. Now I know why you call your car the "TurboPig".

Track & street / dry & wet wheels or how ever you want to wanna dice it.

I spent $2,160 on a refinished set and $1,700 on a 'decent' set. Both of those prices included shipping.
