whoops didn't notice that post was by alpine...
I just picked up the rennline solid mounts, supposed to be a simple install and improve the shift feel and decrease the mass transfer in the rear... the rennline ones are reasonable priced. Looking at the rest of your mods it just seems natural to add them...

 

Yeah I can do the engine mounts under 15min having it done a few times now. Best $40 I've spent and feels the same as my friends Wevo mounts with slightly less NVH.

 

Here are a few pics from a Chin Motorsports event @ Road Atlanta in November. Just arrived in the mailbox...

Wow...really enjoyed your thread....I have done the same thing in that I have bought a 996 for dedicated track driving since I didn't want to track my 997.2. However, I must say I have spent enough money on my 996 that I could have just gotten a GT3. :-) Still I think part of the fun is making your own mods. You are definitely inspiring me to do more more...especially taking out the interior.... I should start chronicling my changes as well.

I agree with many of you....996's are great value for the track and lots of fun to mod.

BTW....on a plane leaving relatives in Atlanta, wish I would have read this sooner :-)

Great Thread and thanks for sharing!!!!

 

All the credit goes to you
Graphics will look even better with the big wing and what you sent me this week!

 

You're driving like a hooligan hehehe, love the shot with the front wheel in he air!!

Looking good Serge and you're having a great time doing too!!
Awesome pics!

 

A GT3 decklid assembly with airscoop and a GT3 wing have been installed to get more downforce (ordered from Mike Shaw design). Fit and finish are very good. Here are a few pics of the final result:
