Just wanted to say a quick hello and introduce myself. Looking forward to learning about 997 quirks/upgrades. This is my first 997.

First off, the car is a blast to drive, lots of driver interaction that is missed with newer cars, it also has some of my favorite body lines with a strong nod towards the 997.1 GT3.

I had been eyeing this specific car since March and was waiting for a bit of a Market dip. It was a poor and impatient attempt, but it was an attempt nonetheless. On to the car....its a bit of an odd build but it makes sense if you were to build a GT3 "Lite".

I have a few things I would like to do, such as an alcantara shifter/boot and steering wheel. Some preventative maintenance things such as coilpacks/plugs/water pump.

Happy to be here and looking forward to tackling some projects!

Thanks for sharing. Thoughts on painting the front lip to match the rest of the gloss on the car/wheels? Maybe a gloss black or a paint match red?

Graufuchs

Thanks, no plans to paint the front lip as it would be a hassle to keep up on it with the car being so low. A scuff on plastic is easier to hide than a painted surface.

Lovely car. Sport design wheels hide the smaller discs nicely, and I like the silver calipers.

My base was also an oddball in terms of spec (minus aero kit).

Yes that's the one, I couldn't find any close to it (Spec/Mileage wise) for months.

Graufuchs

Thank you, will do. Id like to get some rolling shots in the near future.

Appreciate it, have always liked Guards red and Aero its a win win! My 944 was Guards Red.

Many thanks!

I like the sport designs, I really like the Carrera Sport wheels also.

Thanks for the kind words!

Its on the list

I am also fond of the C2 and it’s black gauges.
