My 911 Carrera 2

[pablo]

yeah Im so tempted by a set. I absolutely love those wheels. Id buy those over twists, not a lot in it price wise.

 

[pablo]

I dont what I want in fairness, so a lick of paint on the ones I have will do for now.

I think the lobsters would look really bad on a 996, it'd be like putting CSLs on an E36 M3!

 

[mikerd4]

I have to admit I know nothing about the nuances of Porsche ownership and wheels lol

As for CSL's on an E36

They dont look bad (yeah I know they are reps)

 

[pablo]

@Peadar is right I think, awesome wheel but just dont work 100%

 

[Phil_EK9]

I love them myself, if I had a 996/997 that would be what I would put on it.

 

[Cartunes]

You still got this car @pablo? It's been weeks ya know??

 

[ChrisL]

That will look fantastic ... nice choice mate. You heading to Dubshed this weekend?

 

[pablo]

yeah hoping to get over tomorrow at some point

 

[svensktoppen]

All the little details that make the difference

 

[pablo]

thats it done then bar some small tidy up jobs (give the leather a good clean etc). Enjoy for the summer and re-evaluate then.

I have the sports seats with the hardbacks, Id love to get them painted bodycolour but the nipper sits in the back so would get ruined lol.

 

[Gavlar]

Twists will look well, the more I see this car the more I like it!

 

[pablo]

wheels springs and splitter will have it sitting perfect I think. I added up the cost of a refurb, plus 2 rear tyres, plus new centrecaps and the twists pretty much pay for themselves.

off to @gsportcars tomorrow for 2 new front arms and springs in, then into Kerrs on tuesday for alignment.

 

[Cartunes]

ok went for the twists in silver



Also ordered a GT3 Cup front splitter. 99 quid from Porsche, takes a couple of weeks as its a motorsport part but hopefully look well with the car lowered and give the front a bit more presence (always felt the 996 a bit soft at the front). Crap pic but should look the part.

I could have swiped you one of these last time I was in Weissach mate..... ah well......

 

[pablo]

cheers Del - 21 quid via senditnow no big heartache

 

[Lyons]

Lowering, splitter and springs will all compliment each other well.

 

[dave b]

Only seeing this now Paul - excellent choice mate i've been hankering after one of these for a few years now

HTD chum

 

[pablo]

back with some lowerage. Im getting paranoid about the front sitting a bit high but hoping it might settle a bit.

 

[Gambit]

Aye no weight in front so it's arse about face to what you are used too, waiting on the rear to settle lol splitter will make front look lower also

 

[eamon343]

Seen you on Stockmans earlier. Sat really well. Suits the roof bars

 

[Woodcutter]

Looks bloody lovely, sounds great as well....made @chris_b 's auld Vectra thing sound like a sewing machine!

Definitely seems a bit high at the front compared to the rear, hopefully it'll settle.

 

[rosssei]

saw the car parked up today @pablo - looked great! Love the reg too!

 

[KeithRobinson]

How my old car sat, but on H&R's.

 

[pablo]

I'll give it a couple of days and see. Went with eibachs @KeithRobinson because had read they were a slightly smaller drop than H&Rs and also slightly less harsh. They really did drop it at the back but much less so at front.

If it comes to it I will try to raise it a little at the back via thicker spring pads or something.

 

[pablo]

With bars lol
