any snap oversteer issues with the new rear bar? did you try driving in the wet? considering doing this as well since doing the rears alone look easier than fronts.

Just bought this '05 a few weeks ago. Since then it's received an LN Eng IMS bearing upgrade, clutch, RMS, AOS, brake fluid flush, oil/filter, battery/alternator cable, water pump, MAcarbon climate control switches, stone guards, gundo hack and black exhaust tips. I simply can't believe how awesome this car is! Thank you all for this forum!

Not necessarily something I did *to* my 997 but *for* my 997...I signed up for a PCA membership.

Made by the German tuner speedART (speedart.de). I believe the front splitter and rear wing are/were called the “Indy.”

In with the Fister D mufflers. I like that they are not loud and remain true in sound of the flat-6

Do they still use those weird clips instead of velcro that just attaches to what's already on the floor? I bought a set from them for my -06 C4S that attached to the bottom of the seat with these plastic clips. Problem was that the clips kept coming loose with the mat going all over the place. Ended up throwing them away and buying new OEM mats.

Yes those Carrera S2s are the lightest wheels on a Carrera. That ducktail looks good.

Did you also replace the center muffler with the bypass pipes ?

Yeah, they still have the clips, I haven't attached them yet but even with them not attached the mat hasn't moved a bit. The clips do seem kind of awkward so I'll probably just stick a strip of velcro to the underside of mats and let stick to floor piece that's already there.
