Hey Alex,

She is still around here...let me know anytime you need to take her out for a ride.

I changed the wheels to black Fikses, added harnesses, and a CF hood. She still runs like a champ. Drove her last Saturday and it was just simply wonderful. I still can't get over how good the car handles and the brakes are simply CRAZY. They seem to defy the laws of physics.

Thank you again for selling me such a wonderful car.

Cheers.
Larry

Hey Larry, good to hear from you and even better to know you're still enjoying her! Changing them to black is something I was going to do anyways so that's something that I bet looks neat

The brakes are something eh!?

I got a chance to buy an alcantara headliner and in changing it out I got into a LOT of trouble...

I had to take the seats out, the roll bar out, rear side panels out, A/B/C pillars out, and next thing I knew the interior was gutted.

I got help from a couple of the forum members in sourcing the interior pieces and how to take the dash out. Thank you Frank.

This was a very informative DIY. You can feel the quality and how well things fit. Very Germanic.

Note the throtle cable running down the middle of the drive side. No e-gas for me.

It was time to put the interior back in before the thoughts of a gutted interior (lighter car) on a permanent basis took over.

Here is the headliner installed. I love alcantara.
