7500rpm

OK, I should start by saying the car was originally meant for weekends and the occasional track day. Along the way, it became more and more track orientated because I just wasn't satisfied with some of the factory stuff and that's how it all began!

Car is an 06 C2S and before you tell me I should be upgrading my IMSB, I will just say that I am aware of its potential weakness and do regular 1000 mile oil filter inspections and take my chance. Meanwhile, I drive the car like I stole it.

Oh, everything was DIY in my own garage except for the LWFW. Wasn't brave enough to do it alone.

Can't convince my better half to get a set of carbon seats. She loves heated sport ones.

wow - some of you guys have sent some serious coin. I'd love to know who's bill tops the charts

But she's an accountant by profession so I've learned to work the system. For every $20 I put into the family budget I get to spend $1 on my hobbies. Wish our govt worked that way. Good thing the $2K/yr I reserve for maintenance really goes towards mods vs. the p-dealer since I DIY the maintenance.

I think my next mod may be wheels, some new MPSS tires, and perhaps a set of Damptronics. Anyone tried these or have an opinion. Application would be street/DD and some DE's so I'm wondering if it's any improvement over my existing PASM setup. TIA http://www.fvd.us/us/en/Porsche-0/99...with_PASM.html

7500rpm, I think you have the most track modified car here. It may have been easier to just get a GT3 but I like how you modified it to the hilt. Half the fun of owning these cars involves working on and learning about them indepth. When I purchased my '08 C2S I held in reserved another 20% for mods and initial maintenance...

lol, don't have a picture with me. I can surely take one when I remember.

But here is what it looks like.

7500rpm

USMC_DS1 In hindsight, yes, a GT3 would have suited me better. Like I said, though, she started off being more of a weekender and the whole thing evolved over two and a half years. Had lots of fun modding, though. I now know her intimately and my garage is full of tools used once only for cam timing, crankshaft pulley, gear shift centering and clutch disc centering. I couldn't find the special tool for removing the top clips off the front bumper cover so I modified a bicycle spoke for it. As for fog light removal, two old credit cards does the trick.
So what's the result after all these? I can keep up with a well driven GT3 in corners but they'll still pull away in the straights. An average driver (even in a 991S) has no chance keeping up with me and my car sounds a million bucks (and this comes from the spectators). The beauty of it all? I can still take my family on a 100 mile trip after removing the harness bar and they can hardly feel the difference if I do not floor the accelerator!

How do the Damptronics compare to stock? Nice mods!

Jack667

Thanks -
I had mine installed very soon after I bought the car so I didn't have a good baseline. People seem to say that stock sport mode is similar to the comfort setting of the damptronics, and that the damptronics sport setting is incrementally stiffer, analogous to the just from stock comfort to stock sport.
I'm not sure if that's more accurate, or just a convenient way of making a baseless (but fairly intuitive and straightforward) generalization...

Honestly - my main reason for getting them was to lower the car 'properly', and extra sportiness (without going overboard) was a perceived bonus.

Just plain vanilla here....



I know, I know.... Get Euro side markers.
