Eventful day today at Intersport in McLean, VA.
So I have been trying to locate a clubsport front half bolt-in cage. No luck. Now I need to get something, anything to make the club race at Road America. Piper in Leesburg, VA will make it but it takes a week or so...
So the plan today was to take RS to Intersport and take clubsport cage out of GT3 to be put in RS. GT3 is waiting on new transmission... Then haul GT3 to Piper for custom welded full cage. (see pictures of cage coming out of GT3 and going into RS). Need cage in RS for L club race next week at NJMP...
Decided on the spot to remove carpet and other GT2 OEM seat from GT3 and replace seat with an old Cobra seat. So now I have both OEM GT2/3 seats with alacantra inserts in great shape and will never need them again. So the seats are for sale (see pictures). What are these going for these days?
Last month I traded my Cayenne in (at Intersport) for a GT Silver 2006 C4S cab. Wasn't digging the old NAV system or the silver. So I was looking in Intersport's showroom and they had this .2 Turbo in all black. But I hate the wing. Never even driven a Turbo before (except my dually). 5 minutes later negotiated the trade and got the turbo sans wing (see picture).
Had to run out but saw Sly's new old wrecked D class race car which we just bought which will be repaired which will have engine swapped to make an E car for her to club race at Summit Point in September...

update on the Turbo. FAIL.
cannot get standard 997 rear lid cover to fit on the turbo. and the turbo does not have factory sat radio and I did not like ANY of the options on how to do it (connect to phone, replace whole unit with aftermarket, add doodad thingy, etc.).
going back to trying to find 997.2 S cab, black/black with NAV, sat, seat either bolsters with full power or vented with full power, under 40k miles... anyone?

But they no longer have the stock oem gt2/3 seats. Blackie has a non-xl Recaro Hans Pro and Silver Bullet has a regular sized Sparco.

I have an extra FATBOY Sparco Plus 2 I can bring....what else we got to work out? This will be like having the whole band back together. All we need is Randy to come and bum smokes, drink our beers and change pads.
