Been here for awhile, time to say hi
OK, I have been lurking here for awhile & it is time to introduce myself. I got a 2000 986 in March '03. It had 3000 miles at the time (dealer story: one of many that were collected by ex-marine.... never saw bad weather... garage queen). It has basically been my daily driver since. Never had a serious problem with the car. Mods I have completed:
Replaced top with GAHH glass (most serious mod needed b/c of tear in plastic)
summer (18") & winter (17" original) wheels/tires
Replaced HU with Alpine with Sirius & iPod connect
Rear speakers
Replaced all stock speakers
Aluminum e-brake
3 spoke steering wheel
clear bra
TT front bumper
I have to thank everyone here for info on the car & how to do alot of these things myself.
OK, the 18" are Moda R6 and are bright silver, not chrome. If I would have know of Wheel Dynamics at the time I would have bought the 5 spoke Carrera's from them, but these looked close to me.
Gotta say after reading all the track talk I want to get out there, however I would fail the broomstick test w/o a problem (I am 6'3" and my head w/o helmet is above the rolbar).
I have been considering adding HP to the car for my next mod. However, it has worked perfectly since I bought it & I don't want to 'F' something up that is dependable. So I am considering the Porsche Driving Exp in Alabama with my next bonus to test my abilities in the P-car, b/c I am sure that I could get more out of it as is.
Some pics included, and the new delimiter on the $ spent for the 986.
Thank you all.
