Three Wheelin'
Maybe tha is the incident I remember Omar .. like anything else it as all about the right part for the right application .

actually for me the funniest part is when the camera views the inside of the car and he has his handbrake up ! , i guess he thinks it may rol away with no wheels on it ..

Paul says the 997 cup ducts look like the one in the middle. Our standard ducts like the one on top.

way ahead of you on that one.
Phase 1 - Find out of BradG. has a daughter within the ages of 17-28.
Phase 2 - Get on badge wielding father-in-law's good side.
Phase 3 - Challenge Peel Regional Chopper to race up and down Hamilton mountain (anyone remember that movie Iron Eagle from the 80's?...like that...but with shorter sideburns)
aside: i just found out that getting my new front spoiler from porsche is 300$. Add that to the rear ECU cover carpet for 300$ and you'll understand why the rx-7 club guys looked at me like i was a complete mental case when i told them i was selling my spare parts car and NA transmission because i wanted a front spoiler and carpet.
What's worst is that they put those speed waves infront of most of my friend's houses so i'm guarenteed to sheer the damn thing off within a month of ownership! :'(

patrick,
how do the dzus fasteners work? i wouldn't mind a quick solution to getting front bumpers off and on. it'll make getting the car up on the alignment machine so much easier.

Most likely they will need to be exposed on the bumper, so may not be the best choice for a street car. But great for a race car!
A description:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dzus_Fastener
Where to buy:
http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pro...asp?RecId=4384
How it works...
Using small bolts or rivets (preffered), you fasten the stud assembly to your bumper or whatever part you want to remove quickly.
Stud Assembly: http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/big....asp?RecId=758
You also need to bolt or rivet a receptacle on the recieving side of what you want to mount the part to:
Receptacle: http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/big....asp?RecId=765
Here is a picture of the receptacle mounted to weld plate so you get an idea of what it looks like:
http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/big....asp?RecId=765
Once DZUS fasteners are installed, you can remove and install the part VERY quickly. I suspect my front bumper/valance/splitter combo will need 8-10 of these, but once on, you use this tool to simply turn each fastener a 1/4 to release.
Tool -> http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/big....asp?RecId=816
It's actually kinda fun and cool to show people how quickly you can take off body parts when they are used properly...
Hope this helps!
