5 years? Cool stuff gone? Huh? What?

I'm not a Porsche purist, but if I have a 986 that's an original $111K build... I'm not ****************ing it up with a bunch of Chinese parts. lol.

I won't paint my 986 calipers anything other than black because, you know, I'm not a poser. ;)

Good luck with your build.

Where are you finding Nine8six products? I think he moved on to bigger and better things years ago…

Can you post the build sheet? I didn’t even know you could get a 986 that expensive

I said I am not finding these parts. That's why I have to fabricate my own.

Mini918, sorry but I am with Starter986 on this one..

You already have a beautiful car! Love the classic color combination!

However, I would definitely go with the prerformance upgrades like the coilovers, exhaust and brake upgrades.

Regarding the exhaust, keep in mind that many of the aftermarket exhaust systems cause drone (specially with a tiptronic transmission), I installed a SpeedArt (FVD) on my 987CS and have zero drone, but there are a couple of brands that do not cause drone.
