THE OLD RIMS ON BALDING KUMHO TIRES



Volk Racing TE37s - Gunmetal. 18x8.5 front, 18x10 rear. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus rubber, great for the rain. The weight difference compared to my Turbo Twists is also quite noticable and I really like how the color really compliments the adventurine. Sorry, I know I know, Japanese-made wheel but... after 1 minute of driving it I had no buyer's remorse.



First day with the totally new exhaust system installed. A very happy day that was.

Story:
1995 993 C2. New Adventurine Paint Job. Clear Bra up to the windshield and doors. B&B Tri-Flo Headers w/ heat. Fabspeed 200-cell sport cats. Fabspeed Max-Flo mufflers. Euro-spec M030 Shocks and Springs. Front and Rear H&R Swaybars. Fabspeed GT2 Strut Bar. 6000k HIDs.

Next: Big Red 993TT Brake Kit and Turbo S wing (any reputable recommendations as far as where to order a Turbo S wing? Thanks).

Your board and all your cars are truly an inspiration BTW. Thanks for checking my car out. I look forward to being addicted to this forum even more.

I think it looks great! Nice color combination. Lighter wheels make a big diff in feel of suspension.

Nice looking ride! It also looks like you have Fabspeed headers on there.
Sounds like time to get a chip.

Those are B&B Tri-Flo headers. I love em. I initially had bypass pipes on the car which you guys might like to hear anyway so here it is:

It now sounds much more like a refined European beast with the whole exhaust done, instead of a fire breathing monster with the bypass pipes hehe.

Oh I already have a GIAC chip too. Kills my gas mileage but loads of fun.

KraZy007 is an unknown quantity at this point
Don't let anyone give you a hard time about rolling on japanese wheels. All the guys here with BBS LM's, RE's, or RS-GTs are rolling on japanese wheels as well. And excellent choice on your wheels. I have a set of bronze ones on my 993, although my avatar shows a different set of japanese made wheels.
