Big turbo, lots of fuel, Big exhaust, lots of air, Big brakes to make it stop, and full coil-overs to help it turn. With all that done, I added a few goodies to make her pretty.

I will be the first to admit that I have a bad wheel addiction. I'm currently on my seventh set of wheels for my car. The current inventory includes a set of Cup II's for the track and a set of Fikse FM-10's for the street.

I've owned this car for a little over seven years now. My over all goal was to build a fun, fast, and reliable weekend/DE car.

I started off by fixing a ton of maintance issues that the previous owner neglected and left me with. From there I went on to updating the suspension and brakes to make the car corner better and stop on a dime.

With the maintance, suspension, and brakes all done, I now felt the car was ready for more power. This wasn't/isn't an easy step. Through trial and error I have tested many configurations and components. I'm finally close to my power goals with what I feel is a safe and reliable setup that doesn't require a lot of fuss and constant tuning.

Lastly I moved on to cosmetics. I dumped the tired linen interior for a complete black make-over. I then added a set of micro-fiber Corbeau seats. For the exterior I added fresh paint, 968 mirrors and door handles, a GT-Racing rear bumper and a front splitter. A new silver Porsche crest tops it all off.

I'm a bit sad, but happy that my project is near completion. There will always be maintance and minor tinkering to be done here and there, but overall it's nice to be able to just enjoy the car for once.
