Every time I see those wheels I like them more, which ones are those? A few of the Fuch types I do not like, these ones I do.

THe Ducktail is growing on me also. Man I am spending to much money on this car.:crying::banghead::thumbsup:

Man....the luster on your car. Was going to post one of mine but I'm embarrassed now. Almost 2 years since the last wax job but on the agenda for next week thanks to you. :thumbup:

this thread seems to be snowballin down the hill....gooood, keep it up

i like the wheels also, but i like the carrera sports better...couldn't tell a difference in the ride and depending on where the speedo gets its readings from, front or back, or..., never checked it out... the front wheels/tires are pretty much the same as the 19's, the rears are a bit larger...moot point cause i will sell them and stay with the sports, maybe even go to 18's if i find something i really like...speedlines? maybe,

Thanks Craig. I recently took delivery of this F10, in Santorini Blue. Here it's being detailed 'Italian style' after a high speed run along the Riviera.

is that factory orange?! is it pearlescent...thats a wow...

The paint is called "orange" or RS orange." Everything was factory painted. 30 option codes on the car, most of which have to do with paint, leather, alcantara, and stitching, along with the sport chrono, short shifter, and locking rear diff.

Here's mine. 2009 C2S, arctic silver metallic, 3 petals, all major options with the exception of Sport Chrono package )-:

Wow! Go Big Orange!

what wheels are these? really cool! good look...

Vossen CV3's. There's another 997 in this thread wearing 'em. I had mine painted atlas grey to match the car w/a T/A stripe in speed yellow to match the calipers.

Agree, that orange looks pretty cool. Might as well do the calipers to complete it...

Looking Good Jason!!:thumbup:

agreed, not liking the color contrast!

Thanks. "Looked" good. Gone buddy. In a CLK63 BS for now. What's up w/Det. Mike Lowery and his F430? You guys do any runs lately?

photo shoot a few months ago....

Just realized that I never posted mine up!
Nothing major, but IMO, the side decals have a major impact on the appearance of the car and compliment the stock finish on the wheels.

P.S. RJT, great pics and are you an aviator as well?

Jason: Nothing shabby about a CLK63 AMG, if you mean BS as bull****! lol

I love the color, is it Cobalt Blue Metallic? The rear wing and wheels also give it a nice aggressive look!

Color
 

Yes your right about the color... and I purchased it exactly how it sits, window tint, h&r springs, ruger mesh wheels, and the wing you commented on is part of the factory aero kit.

Thanks for the compliment :cool:

Good looking car. Remember seeing it on eBay.

Thanks,

Good gosh, that's such a lovely color. Just gorgeous. Makes my seal grey [metallic] one look just plain drab...though I'll continue to put up with it. ;)

I agree, next Porsche for me is going to be some type of blue. I like black but don't like to take care of it. Silver, grey, black, and white are all boring colors.

Still enjoying mine. IMHO, from an aesthetic perspective there isn't a bad line on the 997's. To my eye, everything is in proportion to everything else. They're lovely to look at, and then we get to turn the key!

Didn't know how huge the Mustang looks next to the 997.

Here it is: MY06 C4S, picked her up last week!

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-g....02.50+HDR.jpg

Yah it's much larger, especially from the rear the Mustang sits very high in the back. It's totally different inside too, you have this long wide hood in front of you, visually very appealing. The Porsche has a clearer corner visibility which is appealing to me also. Complete opposite driving dynamics, both highly entertaining.

Crappy iPhone pics but a nice foggy morning on my street - I had to leave her out of the garage for 1 night as my wife was working on something in there..

thanks for the spacer shots..
Ive been trying to decide between 15 and 18 out back. Im on H&rs as well.
(not low enough in the back:/)

What rear tire size are you running?

Also, here is my 2006 c2s:

http://oi43.tinypic.com/1zwj0k3.jpg

Wow, nicely done! Crisp clean shot with great colour contrast.

Your camber might also play a role, but I personally would opt for the 15mm if you're sticking with the Lobster claw wheels (that is if these sized spacers are your options). I'm currently running 14mm spacers in the rear and it looks perfect IMO on 295's.

Pretty color perk. What is it?

Now THIS is what I call a petrolhead's garage !!

Thanks.

Thanks! I can't wait to get home and drive them again, two very addictive engines in that space.

Pertaining to your question - to upload photos just click reply like you normally would and then scroll down below the text box there should be a tab in the center that says 'manage attachments' click that and then it will give you an option of uploading photos from your HD. Also you can preview post to see if the image actually fits the screen before submitting. Hope that helps.

Very clean. I like it!

Are those brakes good or what? :thumbsup:

Yes, they feel great - and no dust!

2007 turbo

A beauty... but then I am very biased !!!

Great car and colour

Yes. There was some criticism when it came out, that the look was a little "over the top", too extreme, but I always loved it.
If anything, I find the 991 turbo a little disappointing in its look (not its technical characteristics!!), especially from the front. A little too bland.

Which is just fine, because I cannot remotely hope to buy one, anyway :-)

I just went through all 21 pages, my post was a while back, very nice cars, it does not get old looking at them!!!!!!

Keep them coming!!

I hadn't remembered your avatar, Marvin. Your car is lovely, and of particular interest to me, as I am about to move to Vog'art black wheels.
And I have been testing people about this "black on white" look that I find modern and very nice.
Your pic has confirmed my positive impression.

GORGEOUS car!!!

What a car!

2009 C4S

Attachment 1363508

Lovely car, Dang. Can we have a photo of the rear...

Tell us more about your wheels... they look a lot like
the ones in the box in my garage, waiting to be mounted... :D:D

Ruger Mesh? Looks good, what are the specs?

Thank you I love the Black when they are clean, but just like a black car they only stay clean for about 1 drive.

I actually have some Kinesis F110's I plan to put on the car next year.

07 C4S. Business end.

Attachment 782374

Here's mine

Lovely, lovely black ! (hard to keep clean?)

But I also wanted to see Dang's rear end as it is a 3.8L, and it has the famous red strip.

Here is the one I owned prior to the TT.

Very sleek, nice.

Was just thinking the same thing. So cool that this design has been out for nearly 10 years and I can't help but sit here and stare at it still.

Gentlemen, you took the words right out of my mouth...

Driving down the road is another test... I do not lip-read, but now I can recognize the word "Porsche" when pedestrians (usually a father with his 6-to-18 year old son) pronounces it, points and attracts his offspring's attention. I always think "here is the next generation of Porschist being trained..."
I have never had a rude or aggressive gesture... Porsche is just instantly recognisable.... and likeable.

Thanks, and yes - very hard to keep clean - especially in the winter in Ohio. But that doesn't keep me from diving it as often as I can (mounting the winter rubber this weekend).

:cheers:

Sweet Turbo^

This was a BP gas station that has all kinds of cool features (eco stuff), but it since became an Arco and now its just a gas station (sad)...

Its on the corner of Olympic and Robertson, just outside of Beverly Hills.

+1, love that color... How is it called?

Some beautiful examples here. My 997 has nothing fancy except body color trim and option wheels, but I love it. My favorite "accessory" is the 930 :cool:

2 beauties! Might say its the BumbleBee collection. :thumbup:

OMG !!!!! I love the 997 TT, but yours is in a class of its own...

Don't think I could dare this colour... but then I am a chicken :p she really IS gorgeous !

Thank you for the kind words :thumbup: This has to be one of my favorite ones though. Keep those 997 pictures coming.

I agree, it's refreshing seeing other colors other than black, silver, white, and grey. Might think about getting mine wrapped in Mexico or Riviera blue but I need to find a place to do it first.

Someone took a picture of my car last weekend during the Thanksgiving Porsche run:

06 c4s.

Lovely orange Turbo... you guys seem to be more daring, colour wise, than we are, in Europe. I had never seen the stock wheels in black...

Here , it's just black, dark blue and grey... nice colours, but when 9 out of 10 are like that, it gets tedious.


----------------


....haven't got my wheels yet, so I'll show only the dash et back. Techart steering wheel (really amazing difference it makes to the touch) ,
aluminium pedals, short shift (can't see that...) . Exhaust and 100 cpi catalytic converters; Techart N°1 rear spoiler.

In 10 days, the black Vog'Art wheels and Techart sports clutch (stock clutch decided that the Techart 550hp prep was too much...
and started slipping in high gears)

beautiful beautiful turbo.

Love your TechArt upgrades. I'm lusting after one of those TechArt steering wheels myself, but they are super expensive in the US.

Wrap?

Thanks, Mspeedster. :cheers: Yes, Techart are very expensive. But when it came to fiddling with a Turbo, I wasn't going to entrust it to just any tuner.

This gave me the opportunity to drive to Stuttgart, visit the Porsche factory, the Museum, and see the Techart workshops... very impressive. Very professional.
the wheels, on the other hand, are Vog'Art forged black wheels, as the Techart wheels (even with the good discount they were offering me) remained ridiculously expensive. And I told them so... :roflmao:

The 550hp (553 to be accurate, on the rolling road test) have transformed my car into an animal. Given the price of the 991 TT, it was the perfect option for my limited budget !

Nope, that's the original color (Riviera Blue).

JeanLouis33 - I absolutely love that interior :bowdown:

Could you share your wheel/tire set up. Looks like you've stretched the tire, is it to avoid rubbing? Car doesn't seem low enough to rub with normal tires.

no stretching. The tire has a shoulder that hangs out over the rim.

19" Sport Design rims with Michelin Pilot Sport tires.

crappy pic but here she is..

My 06 997T. Nothing modified, yet...

Thank you Sir. :thumbup:

I am fascinated by the variety of coulours here... this thread has got me enthralled.

That Riviera blue is unthinkable/unsellable here in France, and what a shame that it is so !!!

She is lovely, Skater from down under! She hasn't aged at all !! And your photo is spectaculer (what is the snow-capped mountain?)

I personally find that the 991TT has less "personality" in her looks. It is, obviously, a fabulous car too, but the 997 remains iconic !!

997 is the message from Porsche to their clients "we hear you!!" when we all screamed at them "a 911 has round headlights, period"

997 is an amazing intemporal design, which will not become a classic only because they sold so many of them... :) (the price of success!!)

That's Mount Ruapehu, photo is taken from the Desert Road. Two weeks after buying her I took a road trip from Auckland to Wellington to get a feel for the car. Was great :)

And agree, the shape of the 997 is nicer than the 991 IMO. Am sure 993 owners feel the same about their cars relative to the 996/7/1's though...

Lucky fellow... and I suppose it is 27°C at the moment... while we are shivering. New Zealand is on my list of "must sees"...

Agree of course... one's car is always the best. But it wasn't sour grapes... the 991S is gorgeous, but the signature "eyebrow" front lights disappeared on the Turbo, which therefore lacks that "991 special look".

But of course, if I could spare 200K€, I would get a 991 TurboS ! :thumbsup:... instead, I went to Techart's and put 550hp in mine... it will keep me happy for now :)

Do you have pics of your interior (I mean your car, not your home :roflmao: )

Love the brakes. Are they stock or PCCB? How did you get the color? Reminds me of the 918 Spyder Hybrid brake color...

Congrats on the gorgeous new ride...use her in the best of health!!!

Your road trip sounds wonderful; the countryside in the Mt. Ruapehu area looks spectacular and is on my list of places to visit.

As someone that took a 5k mile road trip upon purchasing my 997.2, I find myself daydreaming of the next road trip...I suspect that you may feel the same way as these cars are built for travel and it is amazing how much these type of adventures help bond us to the vehicle.

Here is a pic of mine nearing home back in October...

Oooooh, and here comes another gorgeous 4S ... I respect the lovers of the oldtimers, een 993s, they are lovely cars... but give me a 997 any day of the week. I am on my third (4S 3.6L, 4s 3.8l and this TT) and I can't get enough...

Here's another one of my 3.8L (the pillars are a wind farm in the centre of the Spanish Cordillera...)

Addicted to 997s!
 

not pccb

They were Red but i figured i would go with green. It pops with the black and i did like the simularity with the 918/Turbo s edition 918 brakes. I did them myself its all in the prep work!

The last one (blue one with gt2 front bumper) would have been my favorite =)

TARGA
 

The green with gold rims is a stunner! Great cars all around. I want a ducktail...

NZ is a fantastic destination for drivers. The country is small but the small population means lots of empty back roads just waiting for a set of 19" wheels to lay down some rubber. Fantastic countryside and coastlines to serve as a backdrop for great driving. Highly recommend it!

This reminds me of my visit to Techart in Stuttgart (well, Leonberg) a couple of weeks ago... the bodywork shop was amazing; but what enthralled me most was the leather work... they actually re-stitch the whole of a car (and that's a lot of stitching),

Countless hours of hand-work... just because the owner wants a different colour :eek:

"There is no limit to what we can do..." said Axel Lanoue, the French resident sales person at Techart's. Wow.

As a matter of interest, do you know who sell the front bumper on the 2 Turbos (your photos N°3 and last). Or are they simply GT2RS stock bumpers fitted to TTs?

Traded red for gray.

Congratulations, friend !!

Unquestionably, one of your best decisions ever !!!! :cheers:

Nice Move!

what kind of front bumper is that? sport classic/gts? it doesnt look like the standard 997.2 bumper.

looks fantstic

Thanks. Good eye!... It's a GTS.

Ok, may I repeat my question... in Farfel's lovely collection on the previous page, I spotted this pic.

Now, is it an aftermarket bumper (and who sell it) or a simple GT2RS added to a TT...

I am beginning to like it, and my beauty could do with a touch of improvement at the front...
particularly as it would be complimented by the white.

Bumpers
 

The Brown 997 is a TT w a Rennline smile added.
The Blue C4S Targa, I changed the bumper to a used TT bumper w lights and a Rennline smile. On the TT bumper, its only the lights that are very expensive,try to buy a bumper thatsalready complete.

Thanks Farfel.

A Rennline smile... sounds lovely.

So do you buy just the "smile" and have your bumper cut out to accommodate it ?
Or is it an "all together buy, bumper + smile" ?

^^ im pretty sure its an oem gts/sport classic bumper... it can be purchased at suncoast parts around 2800$ i believe.

We may not be speaking about the same thing, here, myw...

I was (no, I am ) referring to the bumper of the brown Turbo 2 or 3 posts before. The one with the "smile" vent at the top of the bumper, which unless I am mistaken was only ever seen on the GT3 and the GT2RS.

I am considering it for mine... :burnout:

ahhh yes now i understand. the brown one is a oem turbo bumper with the gt3 upper air grille. its about 40$ from suncoast.

http://www.suncoastparts.com/product...e=997s_aerokit

Why thanks... so all you buy is the grille and you cut your bumper to fit it? Scares me just to think about it... but I like the look.

All great looking cars !

So what are the rules for this thread? Can I post another picture of the same car, or do I have to go buy another 997 if I want to post another picture? :)

Here goes...same car as post #28, this time with some fall color (which ain't that easy to find down here...). Cobalt blue '08 C2S. I got the colored crests for the wheels since the last picture, so I'll use that as justification for posting a second one.

I think you need some more blue.

OMG !!!! In principle, I do not like cabs (convertibles for you),

I do not like blue... and yet

I completely melt down in front of this pic !!!!!!!!! :bowdown::bowdown:

I'll see that and raise you one more blue!:cool:

Attachment 1205523

And I shall remain poker-faced, and show you this...
not mine... taken 3 weeks ago on.... Porsche Platz, in Stutgart,
(between the factory, the Museum and the dealership!)

only I am ashamed to admit that this ace came out of my sleeve (as the car is not mine :nono: )

looks great, Tom! What size are the rear sidewalls on those MP's?

Tom--I think you need natural brown leather visors next...

2012 one of the last 997C2S
 

After the '98 993s and '05 997s & Cayenne TT got another 997s, again the last year made, MT keeps me engaged!

Maybe after I finish paying for the center console!!!:bowdown:

Tom

Next Monday, wheels are going on and I can post pictures... loads of them :roflmao:
actually, Techart sports clutch is going on too, but it won't be showing in the pics :)

In the meantime, I am salivating , looking at your cars....

Tommy's blue cab has upset all my preconceived ideas !! she is gorgeous !

Thank you Jean Louis….I look forward to your pics with the new wheels!:thumbup:

Tom

i think the grill glues/sticks onto the front bumper via double sided 3m tape. i dont think there are 'cuts' required. although i could be 100% mistaken as i havvent done this myself.

nice color :) what year is your car?

Oh, it is just a stick-on... not sure then... although the advantage is that i is removable without trace. In Europe, Porsche owners are fanatical about not changing a thing on the cars... it drives me mad... and I am glad to see what you guys do !

for now, I am facing a week without "her"... :crying:

I'll try and post pics of the work in progress... clutch is quite a job, I am told. but it's a Techart track-clutch, so it will handle the extra cavalry...

I saw the Bridgestones on the wheels yesterday... love the look. Can't wait to have them on the car. then, depending on how they sit (the ET coefficient is slightly different), I am thinking of 5mm spacers (sorry, no idea what 5 millimeters is in Dollars :D )

Then I'll post photos and you all can tell me whether she needs that black GT2RS top front bumper grille or not.

This does feel like Christmas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uh, 2008. I guess you missed the "08" part of "Cobalt blue '08 C2S" :)

I am second owner....coming up quickly on one year anniversary.

997.2
 

Here is mine 2010.

how did you effect the yellows on the different lights? looks awesome...any issues with jonny law?

...yes, I concur... do you have a night time pic, so we see the yellow effect...?

+911 on the yellow lights...pretty cool. Reminds me of LeMans.

What edition 997 is that anyway?

nothing fancy as well, but a nice shot of my carrera

997 Carrera 2009 - Drive it like you stole it!

Nice Reg ! Nice colour, Carrara Weiss !!

my "new" 2009 911S taken just yesterday!

One of the best colour combinations ever...

Only, prepare yourself for frequent cleaning sessions... aaah, black !

Gorgeous car, Steve.

Here's mine. New to me on 8/9/2013. A 2010 C2S.

New rims!

Tommy check out page 37 of What did you do to your 997 today. Mucho leather upgrades on one of the cars shown. You in NJ now? Coffee and Cars next Saturday 8 AM at the Grove in Shrewsbury if you are.

Day at the beach !!!

Hello to my fellow 997 buds. It's been a while since I've checked in with y'all. :)

Hey Phil

Nice as always.
I'm thinking about painted seat backs, ever considered that?

Bruce

PS I threw this RS stripe on recently.

BUT I LOVE those seats.....

The seats were a requirement. There were only 3 CPO 997.2 available at the time that I was looking that had them. Definitely a great seat for the track. Very comfortable as we'll.

Those seats are terrible for your back. You should swap them out immediately say for something like the incredibly comfortable adaptive sport seats. To help out a fellow rennlister I'd be willing to sacrifice my back and make the swap with you :-)

ROFLMAO

You are trying to pull one over on him ... the adaptive sport seats pinch your shoulders and hurt your upper back so I have standard electric heated seats, heat for your lower back and help ease the pains of growing old... So the swap is mine!

Hi everyone. First post on Rennlist:) After a 7 year affair with a Cayman or 2, I went for this 997. 2007, PASM, adaptive sport seats and the aerokit. Having a blast with her.

Cheers

What we have here is a clear case of seat envy. Sorry, but they are staying with me.

SY aerokit car is very nice.

:rockon: Love the humour... you got me going at first...

But seriously, yes, I have heard some reservations about everyday road use of these seats.

They are really designed for the GT3, a car that few people use on a daily basis. Can you still do 500 Miles in a day and actually get out of the car unassisted :confused:

Having said that, they look (and probably cost) like a Million $$.

On the minus side, losing all the back, spine, side adjustable seats, AND the seat memory depepnding on who's driving...
that IS a lot to lose... can't have everything, I suppose.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

on the home front, the wheels are ready, the track clutch being fitted... I am drooling...

They were available on he GT2 in 2007 and were optional on all 997.2 and Cayman/Boxsters starting in 2009. They were standard equipment on Cayman R and Boxster Spyder as well. They are very comfortable. As a testament to that, I picked up the car in Cleveland and drove to NC, about 500 miles, with only a stop for gas with no discomfort.

RS Green 997.1 with Aerokit & Champion Werks kit
 

Enjoying this now as a non-daily driver ..... and now registered in TX.

Lovely car, Nick.

So do you confirm that it is not really usable on a daily basis?

All I have to show today ... is an utterly ruined clutch...

but I was promised that tomorrow....:jumper: :jumper:

JeanLouis - I drove it every day up in Delaware for 10 months and it was excellent took about a week in Houston to realise the road conditions & surfaces around town are not so good .... Further the car is lowered so a bit of a problem getting up ramps into parking areas - so back to the Cayenne as the daily...

Just had Mike Callas @ Rennsport set the car up for a wee more track time - so that's where I'll be heading next year....

Thanks for the heads up... I have been toying with the idea of a GT3... finally gone the other way, added Techart power to
the TT (553 on the rolling road), but I remain aware that the Turbo suffers on the track, so I book track days...

There a chap here who races Cup cars, and he organises track days with his previous year's Cup to finance his next season.
I am hooked! The cup isn't really any more powerful but it is set up "track only" and I keep going back for more.
And I can't afford to buy and maintain two Porsches.

Pic 1 >I am addicted to the 'Cup'... enough grip to lift the inside wheel...

2> same day... the Turbo showing its limits. I just can't reach the same trajectories...

2 weeks ago I drove 6 hours to trade my C2 in for a GT3. While driving to the dealer in the last 2 hours of stop/go traffic on terrible roads I finally made it to the dealership. In 2 years of daily driving the C2 it was the most miserable drive I made. If I had to drive on those beat up & congested roads every day I would have been on my way to the Mercedes dealership to buy an S class instead of a GT3.
I was told the previous owner of the GT3 traded it in for a 991 Carrera with PDK. After experiencing those roads and traffic I can't blame him for making the switch. Traffic and road conditions can make or break the fun factor of the higher strung cars.

Jean, renting a cup car sounds appealing. You're lucky to have that opportunity to experience it without needing to make the investment of purchasing a cup car (not to mention the tow vehicle, maintenance & consumables).

I really have a weakness for white turbos!

Thank you, Edgy. So do I... I fell in love with Carrara Weiss as they call it, in 2008 and bought this 2007 car in 2009. I have loved every minute of it.

As I explained here, I was faced with the choice of a used 991S , but the loss of power put me off... the new 991 Turbo S and its stratospheric price tag (out of my league) , and spend good money to update this one. I chose the last option;

I made today the first pics of the finished product... the only things you can't see... 553HP, track clutch, short travel gear stick...

Lovely car ! And WHAT a back drop !!!

Lucky fellow, you have everything !

Been a while since I posted.

Talbot Yellow?

Dan, its the same old Speed Yellow, that the cops call Speeding Ylw and that my wife calls Highlighter Ylw :cool:

Hi Bruce,

Love the RS stripe. That came out great.

I'd love to have painted seat backs. I had considered it at one point, just seemed like a lot of time, effort, and money for fairly inconspicuous mod. They do look great though. It would look great on your car!

Happy Holidays to all !

Hey there Mike !

It's been a while since I've been posting also. Long time , no see.

I'm still enjoying the FVD muffs that I bought from you several years ago. They have a much better sound than the original PSE that my car came with. Thanks again for turning me on to those !!!

You still tracking that purty speed yellow Carrera of yours?

All looking sharp!

553hp sounds like a blur :cheers:

Heres mine :D

Nice cars

They came stock on the -09 C4S launch car which I have as a DD. I've not done 500 miles in a day but 350 with no issues at all. The seat is very comfortable once you're in it and I think it gets an undeserved bad rap from people who for whatever reason have trouble getting in and out of it but never accumulated any actual road miles. Aside from the comfort factor, they add a level of connectivity with the car that just can't be achieved with any other stock seat.

I'm 6'3" and like to spread out in the car. With the seat all the way back, it's very close to where I would put it if it was adjustable. Perfect for me would be just a bit more tilt to the back which can be done by adjusting the floor mountings.

I bought mine in Cleveland. The drive back to NC was about 500 miles. Absolutely zero comfort issues on the drive back. I agree that you are connected to the car with these seats. A huge difference from my stock seats in my old 2001 996.
