pics of New Wheels and GT3 Seats

old 17" S wheels




18" Carrera 5 Spokes with RA-1 Toyos (225&245). These tires are insanely sticky. I should have ordered 245 for the front and 275 for the back. Plenty of wheel well to spare, I' have no plans of lowering the car or any other mech mods.




Recaro GT3 Seats, slightly used compliments of Ebay. I was planning on putting the old seats back in at the end of summer/racing season. Now way man, these seats are the greatest thing I have ever done to a car. They're staying in until I part with this car. I'm considering getting one for the house.
Installation is a snap, 20 minutes each side. No drilling or modification needed. just remove your seat belt female receptacle from the old seat and attach to your new GT3 seat. ***Honda, Ford Mustang and Chevy Corvette designer dudes: This is what a sports car interior is supposed to look like!




I picked up a GT3 MK1 OEM front bumper that I'll be either adding these RS style inlets or popping in a set of GT2 louvers. GT3 MK2 (or new GT3 style) side skirts are on the way.


A fellow autocrossing buddy told me he has a rollbar extension like on this white Boxster lying around from his old Boxster. Apparently its an easy installation.



I upgraded to Litronics from a Brandywine group buy. Not so impressed with the bang for the buck. I guess its not meant for Urban drivers. This would definitely have been a bottom of the list upgrade.

I earlier picked up a set of used clear tail lights for $150. A nice mod, even if no one noticed the amber was gone. Chrome plastic BoxsterS badge from the 550 edition Boxster.

Gorgeous! What color is your interior? Stock or did you do this yourself?

You got 245 series rubber on the back? Why so skinny? Maybe I read your post wrong.

Looks awesome! If I didn't like my power/heated seats, I would seriously considered finding a set of those.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
