what kind of front spoiler (splitter?) is that?

It is the TechArt front Lip for the 986.2 Front Bumper and an Ebay/HomeDepot Lip.

I actually just left that group, because its quite the opposite. There are a couple nice builds, but not many "Outlaws". I may join again later on, I just don't need the distraction of a bunch of people insulting someone's car because they put Vinyl Porsche Stripes up the middle or something lame like that.

I do want attention on the build, but only people who will appreciate it, Not put it down because they don't agree.

Anyway thank you for that. I've always been a gearhead, prob why I'm soo not apposed to doing such a wild modification to a Porsche. I've had 600hp AWD Jeeps (Before SRT's), 800hp AWD 4Cyl cars. Hondas, Offroad Crawlers, Built Engines, Turbochargers and not a grease stained pair of clothes in sight! Cars are Life! And while the M96 and myself don't see eye to eye, I love the Porsche and want it to follow in the long line of fast/sexy cars I've owned.

Time for bed, We scouted U Pull It today and found an engine and harness for our V6 Swapped S2000 and I happened to come across an ECU and Spare Harness.... Well who am I kidding, I found 3 ECU's and Harnesses on top of 2 complete engines, a 3rd engine being a S4 4.2L V8! Oh man would that be fun to swap. In a week it will be half off, 200 dollar Engine! I'll actually be pulling the 2 2.7's they have just received, for spares!

This is why I love doing an engine swap, it opens up soo many options! Where can you find 200 dollar M96's that run!?

Only thing I could think of when looking at these pictures...


Cleaning day! I have lots of parts on order and I'm about to disassemble the block to drop it off at the machine shop. Going to have the decks resurfaced, then we're going to bring it by my shop and throw it in the oven and bake on a high gloss Red Ceramic coating.

In a couple days our local U Pull and Pay have a half off day, and 2 complete S4's showed up, I pulled harness and ecu from one a few days ago but my plan is to take a few hundred bucks, pickup 2 sets of 2.8 Heads, and 2 spare blocks! I still haven't found my transmission yet but I'm hopeful. There is an A4 there right now in the premium lot but no information on if its AWD or FWD. But it will be nice to pay 500 bucks for 2 complete 2.7's with 2.8 Heads!
