Ayay cap'n. P.S. It's Faris, long story about the Z on my caller ID haha.
Picked it up about a month ago, installed Pfaff/ McCarthy short shifter 2 weeks ago, ordered H&R springs today should be here next Friday, have a pair of 997S headers waiting to be thrown on after Marco from Magnus Motorsports returns from his trip in a week or two so we can get a baseline dyno before doing any power mods. The plan is to dyno this thing everytime it gets a new mod to know just how much jam the mods make, or if they do the opposite lol. Already planning a bunch more stuff for the very near future.
P.P.S. I know my right exhaust tip is pointed up. Fixing that tomorrow.
And my personal favorite part of the car:

And don't worry, I used to work at Magnus so I've ran my fair share of cars on the dyno. I'd be happy with 250whp, and losing power with mods is the exact reason I'm dynoing it every time. If the mod loses power, it's going back up for sale lol. I'm curious as to how the exhaust note will change with the 997S headers. I really like how it sounds now (PSE w/ vacuum lines plugged so it's always on), if after the 997S headers I'm not completely satisfied I'll get the Pfaff/ McCarthy exhaust done, and if from there I'm still not happy I'll start looking into the aftermarket stuff.
P.S. It most certainly is loaded to ****. 166Gs + taxes when it was new in '04, crazy!

Mind you, the Porsche has been in the shop since March so I forget what it's like to own one.
