Nice looking 986! I think Seal Grey is a great color. I too am looking forward to seeing your project progress.

That's a nice stable you have there. Now that you are posting pics, I would love to see some of the Maseratis and the ZO6 (and the white C6) if you have any.

Thanks

What are the plans for the rims? Keeping the track ones or doing something else?

Cheers

Hey Mark, your car/project is part of the inspiration, and along with my brother that just said..."dude, just stop abusing it and treat it nice for once!" (he was with me at Infineon when the Boxster gave up, ps leak/failure).

The track rims are supposed to be the "nice" set, but I started using them because tire scrubs are much easier to find in the 18" than oe 17". What do you think? Keep the rims silver, or paint them seal grey?

thanks for the heads up ohhh my, but us track guys are always running out of brakes/tires/fluids/you name it.

ddb: I am getting really excited with the "build." First body kit ever...I am usu one to believe the cars are designed with the utmost elegance and beauty in its original form (except for the oe wheels, of course).

Which Maser do you have? At 185mph, GTS Quattroporte or S Gran Turismo is my guess.

986_c6,

I only wish I had a Maserati that does 185 (or even a slower one). That came from an old Joe Walsh lyric from a song named "Life's Been Good". The lyric goes: "My Maserati does 185 - I lost my license - now I don't drive". Whenever I see or read something about a Maserati I think about that song.

Lol! I have heard of corvette, bentley, range rover songs, but not a Maserati song. Cool.

Thanks...another thought was to go all out crazy and paint the rims royal blue (think XKRS) actually, I have had a long day, I should keep it in silver.

OOPS FOUND YOUR OTHER POST LISTING THEM AS BSA WHEELS. SORRY.

[986_c6]

Sgt Brad: Uh, oh...sounds like a clone or twin in the making. j/k!

I have always loved the uniqueness of the triple grey! Would be cool to have similar cars, esp since you are in Alabama Whats the weather like over there?
