Followed this beast around the track for a few laps...to say it is a stunning build is a massive understatement.
Also, followed is a generous term...more like saw from a distance![EEK!](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)
I figured I might as well contribute my single potato phone picture to this thread?

Your 991.2 is a really pretty car and the chassis advancements since the 997 gen make me work for that distance. I can't stop staring at the grill on the 991.2. Such a great throwback piece while still looking modern.
Our lead/follow was the highlight of my night. Looking forward to doing it again in a couple weeks!

I was really flattered, man. Thanks. I wish everyone could have one of my steering wheels. Lots of sweat equity and pride went into it... sold another one that night.

That's where these are from, yes. PM your email or hit me up on IG and I'll email you the pics of your car.

I wouldn't go so far to say 'sell' as I would 'accept money that would be dumb to turn down'.

Thank you!
If it were just building the wheel, I'd have an Amazon page stocked and ready to go.
The custom module work for the other systems like the PSM/PASM and steering column modules are what make this hard to scale. Lots of hands on stuff. So even though I make the modules drop-in replacements for the modules on the customer car, few people know how to swap them. So I end up doing that too, which means I need to be at the car's location which means they are paying me to get to it which means.. well you get the idea.
It's a narrow market.

you're making me want clear tail lights now lol. Also, I'm still surprise by how much lower your car looks on the Eibach Springs than mine. Anyway, non 997 question, I remember you purchased some pedals to aid with heel and toe revmatching many pages ago. Do you know if that company makes those pedals for other cars? I want something for the RS4, the pedal placement is not conducive.

Check Rennline.com to see if they make products for Your RS4
if you don’t mind my asking, why did you decide on eibach pro kit. Thinking about that or ohlin coilovers, but still want to drive my 991 (base carrera without Pasm) on the street. With the sway bar setup you have, I’m sure they are not as soft in corners as I would believe initially, but want your input since I know you regularly track your car. Thanks!
Also a spring swap is an order of magnitude less expensive than a full coilover swap.
I may move to a Bilstein damptronic setup for corner balancing in the future or Tractive if I have money burning a hole in my pocket. An active suspension like the TPC DSC box provides is superior to passive setups like Ohlin or JRZ. So I wouldn’t consider them.

I was at RA earlier this year but not again until next. Love that track. I almost don’t have enough power for that one.

Hey Gents- Do you guys know the torque spec when changing a tire for the CL wheels on the GTS? Not doing any track events just daily driving but need to change a tire.
