Here are some pics taken today of my latest buy!!!
I have had it now for only a few weeks and love it to bits... Have always wanted one,this colour & this modle with the clear headlight lenses.

Its a 1999 911 Carrera 2 cab 3.4
I have had a couple of bits done to it already.

Miltek exhaust boxes.
Decat pipes. (kept old cats just in case)
K&N induction kit
Remap at Paramount Performance
30mm suspension drop

Managed to squeeze a few more horses out but nothing amazing. First run pre mods was 283.4bhp, after the add ons 305.2bhp. Probably a bit of a waste of money.. But just cant leave anything alone

It does sound amazing though.....

And a set of 19" victor equipment Lemans wheels which are on the way... Just my luck, found a shop that had 3 wheels in stock, 2 fronts but only 1 rear... Just waiting on those nice chaps at DHL to fly one over from the states...
I will post some more pics once the wheels go on, I just hope they look ok and dont make it look chav!!! Have seen a set on a 911 and they look nice in the picture, but will see....

I hope you like the pics as much as i am enjoying the car.........

Looks good mate, look forward to seeing it in the summer with the roof down.
Think I've seen it on a driveway of a house right next to my kids school.

Lovely, when I bought my C4 there was one just like yours next to it, If I knew it looked like that with those wheels id have bought it. Unfortunately the GT3 kit swing it for me, how much did you pay for the wheels, when my tyres are done I might look to go upto 19's and drop it 30mm too so its rides at the same height as a GT3 smile

Cheers for the compliments... The wheels are Victor equipment Lemans, you can call Rimstyle who will import them from the states for you.. I think that 19's are as big as you will fit on the cab, but when lowered the arches fill nicely.. I have only changed the srprings as wanted to keep some comfort in the ride as changing to ultra low profile tyres.

The car does handle much better now, more rubber, slightly lower = fun on roundabouts... laugh Also if you change the springs, I was advised that there is no difference between Spax and the Eibach ones, other than the price. The spax ones are about 60-70 pounds cheaper...
