as nice as those steamrollers look, they stopped making the 305-25-19 tire that was a perfect fit for the narrow body coupes =( i went with a narrower 295-30-19 tire in teh back and now it rubs over large dips



thanks for the comments guys

Thanks. I am very happy with the car. The plan, for now, is to keep it materially stock. Of course, I am already looking at how to override the PSE cutoff and the stereo could use some attention.

Funny thing, we had our wedding reception in April 2005 at Eden, the outdoor area at 1150, the prior incarnation of Opera.

what's weird about your car is that it looksl ike someone put on mk1 sideskirts. the car would be better served with mk2 sideskirts which have sharper lines. plus not having a front aero bit and rear to balance it out makes it look... a bit out of place.

def do the pse on "loud" mode all the time, i did. pse noise is easily controlled by throttle input. it can roar when you want it to, but you can keep it quiet when you want it to. the quiet setting is a complete waste. it's such a distinct and beautiful noise. the best in 911 land.
