been a lurker this far...
hey guys. i've been lurking on the forums for a while now and been getting some helpful information here.
i'm located in western australia, which is pretty much the other side of the world for most of you guys.
just got this '02 996 GT2 last july (with only 8000miles!!) and been enjoying it ever since. mod list is very disappointing compared to everyone here though. so far i have an evoms v-flow air intake, evoms DVs, milltek headers and exhaust, 997 ssk, and a set of iforged TE-10 wheels. mind you, this is my very first p-car so i still have a lot to learn about it.
a few things on the list to buy/get are GT3 seats in leather, tequipment rollbar, and hopefully an evoms ecu tune to get more power out of the car.
anyway, enough talk and on to the pics!!
here's a pic before the wheels were put on.
and just a few days ago...

Welcome and congrats on your GT2
Looks awesome, especially the black wheels against the Silver, love the first moving photo.
I picked one up back in May 09 and have been enjoying it like it was the first day I picked it up. Enjoy the mods, sounds like you are well and truely on your way to building a great car.
If I can offer some advice on a tune, (or Turbo upgrade in the future) seriously look at Kevin from UMW. Another guy on here Mark from Melbourne (MGS996TT), has them also and without speaking for Mark, I am more than happy with mine especially the extra HP, last dyno was an extra 50RWHP above stock, expecting another 60+RWHP when the new injectors and IC's arrive (can then safely wind more boost in), expecting about 550-570RWHP
Enjoy

thanks heaps guys. i'm still getting used to the car but it really does make my face go whenever i get into it.
thanks for the advice mate. but a few questions, have you changed your turbos? i was thinking of getting a tune without having to change too much on the car. i'm still not used to driving a performance car yet and i want to take it easy for now.
also, what kind of power were you making at stock? i had my car dynoed at around 380rwhp (450hp at the crank) on dynodynamics.
cheers. i found it on ebay while searching for GT2 parts
thanks but unfortunately the 848 is a friend's.
