Hello all! I just picked up my first Porsche: 2000 C2 6spd black on black

I purchased it from the Porsche service manager at work. It has upgraded Pagid yello pads (need to come off for the street), catback exhaust, EVOMs tune, upgraded brake ducts, k40, and TE37s. I come from a VW background so this is a new realm for me. Looking forward to learning more and more about this car every day that I drive it/ work on it, and I'm very happy with it!

I've been looking on GMG, pelican parts, and a few other places but I was wondering if you guys could throw a few other recommended places out for me to look at aftermarket parts.

Here she is at the auto x this weekend

nice ride & the vette too......welcome to the 6spd

 

Nice cars. I had a black Z06 like the blue one in the pic.

 

Congrats and welcome to 996 ownership!

 

Nice, welcome! did you get it from the service manager at Reeves? I live in Brandon and go there often.

 

That's a great looking ride !! We offer a variety of aftermarket parts, what are you looking for ? I would consider getting some Lamin-X to protect that beauty against any road debris though.

 

Dig the wheels, welcome!

 

Thanks! The vette is my brothers, it's a pretty awesome car to drive.

thank you!

Thank you Dennis!


Yes I did. I work in the Motorsports department here at Reeves

Thanks Nick!

Thanks! It already has a protectant on the headlights. I'm planning on doing a full vinyl wrap in the future. I plan to do a custom catless x pipe system, and then get into getting a set of coilovers and sway bars. The car had quite a bit of body lean at the auto-x this weekend.

Thanks!

 

The vinyl wrap is also a great way to go. We offer a variety of coilovers that you might be interested from Bilsteins, H&R, and KW when your ready to upgrade. We actually have the H&R Sway Bars on sale now.

 

Thank you! How do the H&R Sway Bars compare to the GT3 sway bars?

 

H&R Sport Sway Bars are the smooth, machined-like forged ends that, for specific vehicles, allow for adjustability in stiffness and the kits include exclusive sway bar bushings, featuring a special urethane/Teflon composite that prevents squeaks and eliminates the need for lubrication. They also provide the highest tensile strength available and are less expensive then going with the GT3 ones.

H&R sway bars
Front diameter:26 mm
Rear diameter: 23 mm

GT3
Front: 27mm
Rear: 20.77 mm

 

Wow thanks for the info! I'm thinking about doing the sway bars with PSS9s

Oh...well we've met then at one point, I was the guy in there two Friday's ago (9/21) who bought a bunch of Groits Garage stuff! I talked to the detail mgr about it..small world.
By the way, I like the rear wing, any idea where it's from?

Oh yes I do remember! I believe I rang you up for the products! Small world indeed.

It sure is! I can't wait to get started on it!
