SM_ATL's 2003 Carrera Project
Here's the first post on my seal gray 2003 996 Carrera (base) build thread. I am a regular 6speed'er in the 991 section (see the the link to my 991S Journal in my signature) and have acquired a 996 with the project of making it a trackday car.
I pulled the trigger a couple of days ago on a 2003 Base 996, manual with short shifter. The car has 80,000 miles on the clock and is in great shape. I was impressed that it was pretty quick despite the fact that it 'only' has 320hp (for now...).

Here are 2 quick iPhone pics:

Let the party begin now !!!

Thumbs up
Looking forward to seeing what you do to the 996.

I have done almost everything possible to my C4S, with the exception of FI, with the intention of making it into a DE/track day toy.

Then I wound up taking a job where I travel 10 states, and never have time to do any events.

Is that pic taken at NPoint Mall?

I spend so much time reading Serge's thread that I am concerned I might get fired.

Brando: you got it right, the 2 pics were taken @ North Point Mall! I'd be very interested in learning from your mod experience with the 996! Too bad you do not find enough time to track it!!!
