do we have a face and car thread?

[yurkope]

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.

Okay -- so here's a pic of me outside our research center, (sorry, but I've always had this compulsive urge to climb up on things, even Porsches..).

Off the top at Mammoth Mountain. (Couldn't get the Box up there, no snow tires.)

24 years too late for those 944 rip-off fender flairs. Too little too late for that little wing on that corrola-esque 4-door...zzzzzz
