We've done a few lil' tweaks on the black mamba lately and some might hate it whilst others might think it's ok but I'm for it since the car's a bit lighter now too;)

Went with (James you're a bad influence) the BBS LM Mag's which ever even ligther than the light K18Rs I had before. Obviously I'm sticking with 18s here so I can get traction. I have a set of blingy 19s but they don't do so well with the power....

Wife hates the gold tho:( She says it's too flashy...

I also decided to take out the Porsche Tequipment bar and go with the GMG one (with the extra cross brace and thicker tubing). Notice how it has the sweet mounts for your 5points! Great idea... I'll take some pix of it in mine and James' car soon. I have to say the welds and overall design is actually even better than the Porsche one. I'm going to be carrying these from now on!

We did a few lil' updates inside too. C4Bliss ws kind enough to powdercoat the custom y-pipe (enlarged to fit the NA 996 larger throttle body). Kiss goodbye to the boxster throttle body:)

Gold wheels can be hard to pull off on some cars, but they look great on the black car. Its a good racing style look. Nice choice in wheels!

Thanks Kem- I was kind of worried it'd come out looking wrong... Even though the car isn't about "looks" I thought I'd give it a go and shed some weight as such:) The car is actually set up for raod racing anyways it's just that I'm a wally and drag race it too much!
