Updates to the 996

1. EPL Tune.
Boy this really turned the car into a beast.
Smooth Idle, pulls like a train! You'll be hard pressed
to find a tune that is so streetable and smooth yet aggressive as heck.
If anyone is looking into a flash, look no further, EPL is the answer. Dyno sheets will follow.

2. Key conversion.
Just do it. Modernizes the very cheap looking Porsche part and
makes it feel more valuable.


3. Fikse FM10 Wheels
Car looks really classy with these babies on. I believe they are a bit lighter
than my Hollow Spokes as well.



Future plans include:
Raid 340mm Steering wheel
Cup holder

Nice! What other mods do you have?

What are the power claims with an EPL tune? Approximate cost? Something that may need to go under the next Christmas tree LOL

Nice mods- yes EPL tune is the right answer especially with an exhaust.
