More awesome pics as usual.

What were the camera settings inside the tunnel? Do you guys use some sort of tripod?

Thanks Lux. Inside the tunnel, shutter was probably about 1/8-1/10 of a second. No tripod, just handheld. :dance:

Jocky, Car looks Hot !!

Hey i had a question. Didnt you own a modifyed Black S2000 awhile back? Assuming just before you bought this 986? For some reason your username looks familiar and i think you were the guy out of the NY-Metro forum selling his BBS-LM's. I just joined this forum because well, im looking to sell my S2K for a 986S

That is sick looking! I love the front bumper... you said it was a RUF cover.. for a 911 or what. Can you share where to get one? Also, what do you have going on with the rear bumper cover to match the look of the front, anything? I like the look of the car without the rocker moldings. Very nicely done!

What size wheels? Last question.. what kind of marker lamps are those? I thought they were painted black and then saw the bulb shining thru.

Great job, Great pics!

Kindly,
Joe

Sorry for all those dead linked pics above.. here's some more











Thanks for the compliments. It's a RUF bumper for the 986 (perfect fit, absolute great fit and high quality polyurethane). The wheels are 18" BBS RS-GT wheels, powdercoated black and wrapped in Bridgestone Pilot Sport-2 tires. Car is lowered on Bilstein Shocks and H&R springs. Blackout/smoked tail lights and sidemarkers.

Thanks for the welcome!

I knew that name looked familiar!

So how do you like the 986 compared to the S2K? Any problems associated with them other than engine failure i should research? Im going to go look at a 986S this friday and if all goes well, will be trading in the S2 :dance:

The Racer's Group used to race with RUF bumper you might give them a call and see if they have one left over. Might want to act quick since 04 was the last year they made this bumper.

That's because they cost 10X's more!
I think he had them painted black.

Selling this bumper (and wheels) if anyone is interested:

Details:

___________________________________________

Selling the RUF bumper you see pictured in the photos below. For local pickup (located on Long Island). This is a genuine RUF bumper made of PU-R-RIM (a high quality ABS plastic type material much like stock bumpers), not cheap and easily shattered fiberglass.

This retailed for $1899 (listed in RUF's catalog http://www.rufautocenter.com/parts/pdf/986.pdf) and I paid well over $2000 to have it painted and delivered to me.

As to be expected from a RUF part, the fit and quality of this bumper is top notch! Install is a simple DIY and shouldn't take more than 1-2 hours. All parts simply bolts into the stock bumper bolts.

I only drove approximately 10k miles with this bumper on my car and most were not highway miles. It has the usual wear associated with low bumpers and the scuffs that you see in the photos do not really stand out when viewed from a person's normal standing height/angle.

Asking $900 picked-up.
Contact me at jason@liu.com



Here are photos of the bumper uninstalled, on my car, and some photos from RUF's site.

Talking Justa 'Nuther Rufster S

Hey RaceFans,

Here's a look at another RUF job......3.6L X51 conversion, PSS9s, M030s, Paget Blues, RUF tower brace, and RUF aero nose. It drives like a mid engine 996 GT3 in a little black boxster dress!

My comment about the RUF nose design: It really helps cancel lift and provide stability when you are running in the triple digits.

Drive On,
Ike
