Not to steal OhioC5's thunder but I thought I'd post a picture of my new addition, my first P-car. Clean PPI, looks and drives awesome. Completely stock (for now), 2003 24,000 miles. Ain't she a beaut.??

 

BTW - If you are entertaining the front lip, I can pass along a couple of good aftermarket sources.

 

Bmiller, looks great! I don't mind you sharing at all.

John, sure, I'll have a look. I'm thinking of what I want to do to it first. Luckily for me Switzer performance is fairly close. I want the ECU flash, but I think it would be best to do the clutch at the same time. This is my third Porsche but my first turbo.

I like to wrench on stuff myself because I actually enjoy it. If you go to 986forum.com there is a supercharge sticky thread. I pieced together a roots type supercharger kit for my old Boxster.

Sorry for rambling...just really excited. My car is 1100 miles away.

 

I looked for a car with an aero kit as there weren't that many around. I still like the GT2 front end but in factory parts is crazy expensive.

 

Nice!

 

OhioC5 & BMiller33, both very nice. Enjoy. These cars are outstanding. I am a bit partial to Artic Siler myself..

 

Congrats.

Yeah you'll love the Switzer flash. Make sure you get the exhaust too...the welds are amazing and it sounds great.

Paul,

Were gonna need to get together soon and go out for a drive. I cant wait to see John's new car.

Mark

 

Congrats to both of you. Yes, flash and exhaust are great first mods. I love my setup. Definitely do the 997 SSK as well.

 

Could aerokit be ordered as separate pieces? Or would this car either have had:

-no aerokit from factory, but with an aerokit rear spoiler/wing added later
-aerokit from factory, but front spoiler was replaced (for some reason) with the incorrect part

Congrats to the OP, looks like a great car (am partial to Polar Silver myself ).

 

. Agree on the front spoiler comment. As a matter of fact , I believe the factory does not recommend having the Aerokit wing without the front spoiler... that seems to upset the handling at high speed.

 

My guess would be:

-no aerokit from factory, but with an aerokit rear spoiler/wing added later

because the aerokit was only available as a complete option. That option included rocker panels painted to match the car. Since this car has niether painted rockers or aerokit front spoiler it was probably not an OEM aerokit car. Unless, the car received new rockers and front lip after running over something, which is possible. The tag under the bonnet would list the aerokit option (XAF), if it was original to the car.

 

Mark,

Absolutely! It would be nice to do a nice NEOhio 996TT photoshoot.

Hit me up on PM and i'll get you my cell/contact info.

Congratulations! I had quite a few Porsche's as well, but nothing like the turbo. You are going to love it!

Shame you did not get it last week, with all the sun we had.....are you a norpca member? I am, but have not gone to any events with them, just an occasional C&C in Cleveland.

Thanks, no, I'm not a member of any club. My car won't probably be here until next week. I may get lucky though, maybe a truck is going to be coming from Florida today.
