Default Some Fall colors

won't be long before all the leaves are gone and the weather turns to complete crap so figured I'd post up some pics. It's already dark by 5:00 which is really depressing.

I took a spin up Rt 15 last weekend to catch the autumn colors. Really like the look of the 4 outlets from the FABSpeed. did you do a local install or got to PA. and, do you have any audio of the exhaust. Wheels look great with the PCCB's.

I was reading last week that the foilage this year is not what it usually is due to the unseasonably warm weather.

I love my FS exhaust and had it installed locally - RPM Racing. Sorry, no audio but I think there is something on FS website.

Chris,

Great shots. Love the car, wheels look cool. Your corner markers are quite subtle. Looks great. Enjoy.

You guys are losing your touch - no one noticed the car was lowered?

Chris,

How was it lowered, just springs or a whole coil over job?

After going back and forth and reading all the pros and cons about springs I decided to bite the bullet and give it a shot. Worst thing that happens is I replace shocks sooner than I would have. I know there are some who think it is a mortal sin to just do springs but, whatever.

I went with the techart springs and did the alignment with eclou's GT3-like specs. I can tell you the car handles MUCH better and is more pointy, direct - similiar to the way my 997S felt. Now that's on the road - on the track who knows? Maybe it's worse than stock as I know a lot of guys have been very happy with the stock setup on the track.

As far as comfort it's a bit rougher in sport mode and with our crappy roads here it's tough to take in sport. A decent road and it's better in sport now than it was stock. The PASM button works just like before.

With regards to scraping I think too much is made of that. Now, this is not my daily driver so I may not be the person to comment but I think if I'm going to scrape now I would have scraped with it stock. It's really not that different. I just pay attention to where i'm going - as it's usually entrances etc. Besides, any of the damage to the front spoiler is usually on the bottom and not visible unless you got on your knees and looked. Besides they cost so little it's not a worry.

So far i'm happy with the way it turned out. I'll keep my eye on the guys who are going to do the PSS10 and see how much better that is.
