BACK in the saddle.....AGAIN!
Hello Everyone,
I have been poking in and out of this forum since 2013 when I sold my much loved GT Silver 2010 GT3.
Long time 997 GT2/GT3 Rennlisters will remember that I was the guy who pioneered the Centerlock to 5 Lug conversion. See sticky above!
Well, I just purchased another 2010 GT3 last week......so I am now "back in the saddle" for good!
After a year of searching I found this car (see below).......Yep, I plan to track it some more, I have already done two track days and added 1200miles. LOVE IT!
My first mod will be, of course, a 5 lug conversion with Forgeline GA3R's, and likely a four wheel brake upgrade (Stoptech Trophy).
Best regards,
Doug N

I was until last week, back to the drawing board sort of speak... Let just say I will be paying close attention to your 2nd round of 5 wheel lug conversion posts that I hope you will be keeping us posted on.
