Changster's 997.2 TTS, pics mods etc
Figure I'd start my own thread. The project is ongoing but it won't be any sort of a big build like my GTR. I just want to max out stock VTG's on either race gas or ethanol for the occasional street race, but mostly keep it on 98Ron. I don't DD this car. I just use it for aggressive mountain carving and tracking on the road course, with the occasional street race.
Simple mods so far:
AMS IC's
Exhaust
Cobb + Robtune on 98Ron (we are just starting the datalogging+revisions now but already trapped 132mph on vbox for 1/4)
Ordered, not installed:
TPC Racing sways
TPC Racing DSC
TPC Racing front wide track kit
Contemplating:
OZ Superforgiata's so I can run 245/325 Cup 2's
TPC Racing / Tractive DDA active coilovers
For now some pictures.
UPDATE 4/12/16: New goodies arrived.
TPC Racing sways + front wide track kit + DSC.

Rep Power: 42 +1 looks v.cool. Oz have that motorsport look with the very cool writing on the rims but personally I'd go HRE P101 or GMG LM for CLs. These two rims fill the wheel arches out better with 9 and 12 CLs and 245 and 325 Cup 2s. The offset on the Oz for CL doesn't fill the arches out properly IMO.
I actually like your OEM wheels. They work really well with the 4.0 type decals.

P101/GMG LM's - I don't like the design honestly. I pretty much only like TUV/JWL certified wheels because it shows the commitment of the manufacturers versus all these knock off wheels. HRE's aren't knock off but a lot of other stuff is. They just get it made and brand it themselves. So basically, I like BBS, OZ, Rays, etc.

Thanks for this cuz that's definitely a great option. I love the OEM GT2/3RS rims. I love my OEM rims too actually. I'd only switch because of wanting to run wider tires.

Yeah thought about them when I saw your decals. They'd go great together and of course you can run the wider rubber too. They're amazingly cheap for what they are too.

OZ Superforgiata's came in. I chose the 19x8.5 in the front because I have the TPC wide track kit. 19x12 rear. I bought R888's in 245/325 for these to try out at the track.
On a side note, the TPC sways + DSC + TPC front wide track kit + good alignment transformed the car. I can't comment on track performance yet but on the street it's everything other reviewers have said - car is much tighter, much less body roll, more responsive, and I can tell I can put much more power down earlier through turns. It's the best money I've spent on the car bar none.

Rep Power: 42 V.nice wheels. Is there a definitive answer as to whether 245 and 325 will fit 8.5 and 11 inch wheels respectively? track use etc?
I increased to 8.75 and 12 inch wheels to make the change to wider tyres on advice from shop.
If they do fit will stick the larger size 245 and 325 on my spare oem rims.
