My New Porsche...

Ok, after a few problems with the swap over I finally picked up my new '02 C2.

She's got Manthey mufflers, EVOMS Swift Shift, Carbon strut brace, GT3 wheels with 7mm spacers, IPD plenum, EVOMS V-flow (fitting soon thanks to the guys at RPM), TechArt lowering springs, black EVOMS pedals, HID, silver hood badge and fitting this weekend a GT3 lip and hex mesh....

Although potentially the same BHP as my old '99 C4 with X-51 She feels so much lighter and responsive. You really 'feel' that front end going into corners. I still have a soft spot for the old C4 as it was my first PCar but I've also got the biggest smile for this one... I just have to learn to drive her properly now.

how do you like your GT3 wheels? What tire/size are you running. I really like those in black (for my car) yours look awesome!
Let me know where you get the hex-mesh

Nice ride, enjoy it in the best of health.
I think you'll enjoy the improved handling of the C2 vs the C4.


Cheers,
Stan

I've got some black LeMans style from my last PCar and thinking of putting some Toyo R888s on at some point

I love the GT3s, it originally had Sport Technos on but one got damaged and the dealer gave me a choice of what I wanted, long story... They're 18''s running 265/30 and 225/40 (I think). Going to move out to 285s though.

The Hex Mesh is from a computer store over here (UK), it's black coated and 1 sheet does the lot I've been told.

Stan, really like the light feel of the C2...

Very nice and I also like those wheels...I have seen them painted black and I concur that they do look awesome that way.
