Hi everyone,

I want to post my progress since purchasing my stock 2002 Turbo with 42K miles. My main goal the first year was to get it to look the part... I know many people start with performance mods first, but this is the most powerful car I've ever owned. This spring I will be buying a Speedtech 2.5 or 3.0 and a tune. That should wake things up a bit. Here are some pics:

 

Looks great, Steve - well done! Can't wait until spring - this past week has been brutal...

 

Major mods include:

-19" HRE 542R, custom powder coated centers, Toyo T1R
-Bilstein PSS10, TS dog bones and toe steer kit
-GT2 front bumper w/ 997 LED retrofit
-Strosek rear wing
-20% window tint
-DCTM steering wheel and various Alcantara interior parts
-Painted side vent splitters and rear bumperettes
-B&M SSK

 

Thanks John... looking forward to this thing sounding great!

 

Nice!
Serious mod list

 

are those philips leds? how did you fit them? the led fitment is giving me cognitive dissonance on that gt2 styled front lol. nice work though...

 

They are Agency Power 997 LEDs modified so they are all white. I wired it independently so I can turn on/off whenever I want. They were retrofitted into the bumper by removing the GT2 front splitters and putting these in place... it was no easy feat.

Cognitive dissonance... that's exactly what I was going for. Thanks!

 

Wow, 997 lights look great! Hmm... maybe I should do this to mine... LOL

 

killed it! lol. cheers

 

Steve were you at porschefest at larz this fall think I remember seeing your car there it was super clean and well put together!

 

Nice

 

Ha...nice. I like the first year part.

I swore to my wife I wouldn't touch the car when I bought. It was a stage 4 FVD car with pss9 and Brembo BBK all 4 corners.

So far,
replaced the HU, amp, and all speakers
black'd the inside of the headlights
clear side markers

Put 1 bar WGs on and tuned it, then decided I needed more

tune from 911tuning.com
60 lb injectors
meth kit
K24/20 with 1 bar WG
new diverter valves
then built my own catless exhaust

It's got champion rg5s now, but I am in the middle of changing those out.

I promised I wont do anything more...

 

Beautiful!

 

Love those LEDs.
Great looking 996 inside and out.
Looking forwards to seeing your next mods.

 

I was at Porschefest... cant wait for the next one! Thank you for the compliments. Which car was yours?
