That is why you are the engineer! Thanks for the correction Ken, are you going to flame me publicly for this over sight? :P

 

No,and hopefully there is no fuel left for any more flaming here for a while.

 

Fuel, we don't need that. We just need a slow day on the forum

 

I'll clarrify . The EVT 700 install only takes two days (lol) .
It took me a year to complete the project of this car. Before I did the EVT I had most of the parts . Tubi exhaust/ evo headers/evo intercoolers / IBD plenum / Werks1 carbon fiber intake/ Techart tips /GIAC flash . Then I upgraded and included the modified Turbos / performance clutch / Evo reflash /Hoses etc .

This was not the ENTIRE project . It took several weeks to get my HRE wheels .

Still not done -- took time to order and get my Techart parts which included front splitter/ rear diffuser/ side skits / painted roof spoiler/ Techart springs / Carbon vent/ Carbon mirror inserts .

Still not done -then came the interior . I ordered the Techart sterering wheel and chose the aluminum shift/brake .

Now i am done .

My car is not a "true" EVT700 in that I kept my Tubi exhaust and Werks intake . The car is a monster !!! I love it.

I need to update the interior photos but here's the pics. http://pictures.aol.com/galleries/yrralis1

 

Nope --I opted for the leather sport wheel , non logo .

 

Nice work, are you sure you are done? There is always one more mod to do on a car. All joking aside they car looks awesome. Take it to the track and start chewing up tires and NA cars

 

Well --I probably would have done a few more things to spruce up the interior but then I went out and bought an M3 . I have seen enough car things to draw a line in the sand with spending for now.

I did consider wheels and exhaust for her car but she is so happy with it stock for now.

When it comes to modifications I notice that people take different routes :

Type 1 ) Would like to take delivery of the car fully modified on DAY 1. That's me . I feel that every mile on the car is driven at optimum features . One gets full use out of the car and the customizations .

Type 2) Likes to drive the car stock for a long time and when adding the mods gets to fall in love with the car a second time .

I think she is more type 2 and I have seen many guys on this forum who take same route and whatever way works towards full car enjoyment is what i want for her. So stock it stays and my car is done (for now--lol) .

 

You forgot type 3, added the mods one by one and have a plan as to what they would like to see modded and then do it as cash becomes available for the next car!

I am a type 3, and I think that a large number of people are as well. On my wish list is Brembo 380mm Brakes and a SC kit, but these are big dollars and they may get forgotten about if I suddenly get the urge to upgrade to a GT3!

 

OK, I just returned from Cars and Coffee. Huge turnout today, with 100 or more Porsches. I took my trusty piece of blue masking tape which was cut to match the circumference of my XPA wheel at the top center of the rim. I wrapped it on a GT3 alcantara wheel, and it was virtually identical in size, perhaps 1/16" smaller in circumference but not significant. For all intents and purposes, the XPA and GT3 wheels are the same size.

 

Thanks for the info, it is great to know that they are at least the same thickness.
