What happened to make that a 'parts' car? Engine let go? Replace it and drive it...

What is wrong with it? It looks pretty nice.
Oh, and Jeff what are the factory options base on that magical VIN number?

I just bought 2 of these options from the red 968.

So which of you bastards bought the HVAC controls?

All I needed was the little plastic button cap for the recirculate button. Now I'm going to have to try to glue it into place or something.

I'm guessing you finally got those 7.5" cup wheels, right? That's a good find. I hope the other option wasn't the guards red spoiler, I don't think that would go over too well on your car. But what do I know about ugly wings...

Yes! I bought the whole set of Cup II's along with the crested center caps and already mounted my 245 DOT-R's onto the 7.5" wide fronts. They're looking quite a bit more flush so I can't wait to try them out at Sat and Sun autocross events. Have fun at T-Hill! Wish I could be there but they keep double-booking PCA autocross and track events this year.

Nice, how did you do this weekend? Are you thinking of mounting something on the extra pair of 9s and running square on occasion? I think that should be your setup if you want to do STR and after this weekend I'm a big fan of the square setup. The car was amazing this weekend, but I could have done a little better.

JD I've got one on the shelf I think, I'll look for you.

Of course you do the autocross by me when I'm planning on going to Santa Cruz.

One of these days we need to do a Bay Area meet-n-greet
