Nice to see another Mirage cab! Just finished a wash/clay/seal/wax on mine -- too bad it was a cloudy evening:

Very nice car!! Looks great! I was experimenting with the graphic on the side of mine. I have since replaced it with something that looks more subtle. lol

Oh hey new Arena Red buddy. I just grabbed mine a couple weeks ago and it's also a 99 PTS even though it was repainted and needs some sanding/buffing attention. It was an accidental beers and Ebay buy with a salvage title but it's still a lot of fun and a good deal for the money.

It's kind of a weird car for me since my 968 is more of a gokart and the 996TT is a rocketship, leaving the 996 as a good halfway point between the two, especially since I don have to feel bad tearing around in it. The poor thing is up on jackstands until inspection time in a few weeks because I stole the wheels for the 968.

Here's a bad picture of it from my phone.

Jymmybob nice car I remember seeing it on eBay. What suspension is it on? I'm deciding between some H&r springs for mine or coilovers.

It's on Ceika coilovers which seem really nice but they're adjusted pretty badly at nearly fully dropped but softest setting plus the alignment is somewhat off. I can't adjust it without road time but can't get road time until it's inspected and street legal plus I temporarily stole the wheels for my 968 so I can't say for sure how good they can actually be though.

Their customer support seems great because I emailed the general contact page with a couple questions on setting them up and the main guy got back to me less than an hour later with answers, said he also has a 996 C2 and offered to help with setting them up better.

Would love to hear some more about these once you get some more seat time with them. Are these the same ones?

Yep, they seem pretty nice and customer service was responsive when I had a couple questions.
