Thx for the feedback! The Wheels are porsche oem GT3 Wheels. You can find great deals on them if you search ebay.


Right now, they are away to be painted black and to get new tires. I will post pics when I get them back!


This is how they will look when they are done: http://teile.com/en/we_recommend/18610/1

Great work! It's coming along nicely and I'll be watching. Thanks for posting these. I can't drive my cab either in much of this nasty weather so it's comforting to know other Porsche Aholics are tinkering in their garages. We are not alone, lol.

yeah, weather is a ***** now!, BUT, it give us time to take care of the car


Ok, so I installed the ledlights today. Sry for crappy pics, in reallity its realy nice, give the car a 2014 feeling inside!


Funny thing was, when I was ready I had to take the mirror apart again, cause a Little spider got inside. On the seat it looked (from the reflextion) like I had a mutated giant spider

Today I did by far the most timeconsuming thing ever! I cleaned my Wheel wells. Or at least one of them. (have 3 more to go, so my 3 next sundays are saved )


Took me 4, FOUR!!! hours to get one of them Clean.


Still need to Clean the things surounding the Wheel well though.

Realy need to Clean the parts around the Engine though, realy Dirty.


I also recieved a package from Evolution Motorsport that I have been waiting a long, long time for


Worst thing is, when I started to demount the parts in the engineroom, I decied to also order the plenum, so now I have to wait even more pffffffffff


But I guess if you are waiting for something good you can never wait to long


Also ordered new "911" logo in black and 20 new wheelbolts in black from Porsche today. Will be needing them to match the new rims.

So I cleaned the last 2 wheelwells today, front right and left. Wasnt as hard as the rears ones. Lots of more plastic in the front.


I also removed my OEMplenum and airfilterbox, so I can install the new plenum and the EVOM cai.


I also decied to change the belt. It wasnt actually so worn, but when you are there it felt like the right thing to do.

Wow, the level of detail is amazing. Pun intended. I need those interior lights. Do tell. I'm gonna have to step it up now to get your level of perfection. It's 79 degrees in SoCal so I have no excuse. Just got parts from OE Porsche Parts. Will work on my trim bits when the car comes back from the upholstry shop (new top/headliner). Cannot wait to see more of your updates...
