Anyway, that’s my new (used) toy. Happiness is driving a car you really love!
I love it, too. I'd have bought that color combination in a heartbeat. I don't swear, but aren't those wheels optional turbo wheels, someone? My S wheels don't look like that. And what in the world is extended Nav? Would it know the difference between mule trails and real roads, unlike my stock Nav?

Mods to come: exhaust enhancement – either Sharky or Tubi (what man doesn’t enjoy aural gratification), GT3 Front Lower Control Arms to gain camber, Pagid Yellows, SRF, MPSC tires, and a few other small bits I’m sure…
for phone cradle - call suncoast and ask them, if it exists they will know of it.

for any mods - i would wait a bit. anyway, as of LCAs - RSS LCAs are a bit better value than gt3 ones, together with them you may need rear to arms from tarett and also put adjustable GT3 sway bars. if you`ll do front LCAs - it is simpler to put front sway bar at same time to save on labor.
pagid yellows will not work on a street, those are track only pads.
for exhaust i think what people do most on those 997.2 cars is a removal of center muffler and replacing it with simple cheap bypass pipes. you do not really need to do anything more than that, but it is a matter of a personal preference.

[QUOTE=garage1;9240373]I did a PPI and the mechanic thought it looked like a winner – with no signs of track work (that will soon change) and everything essentially factory fresh.



Congrats on a beautiful car. I found your comment about the PPI a bit funny and then later on talking about all the track upgrades you are planning to put into the car. You might have been better off if the prior owner had some of those upgrades done already.

Enjoy it.

Do you have the iPhone cable yet? I ordered one from Suncoast thinking that the one I had was incorrect and now I have two that are both the same and correct!
