    Check out the 2006 911 website and the video about the variable geometry turbos.

    That technology is sick.

    Yes, you can, but remember that a 996TT engine will cost you about $35,000+ new and about $20-25k on the used market, easily.

    I love aircooled motors, I love the round headlights. I think the last year of the aircooled motor was 1996 right.

    yep, the teg...all the parts are in except the aluminum hats for the rotors (J3 Racing is supposed to be making them???), probably just going to use the 8 bolt hats from an AEM big brake kit i found and stick the AP racing rotors on them (the aem rotors suck).

    Doing all steel braded lines, extended lugs, lightweight lugnuts, wheel spacers (5-10mm, whatever the thinnest i can go is), custom CNC'd aluminum conversion bracket, AP Racing rotors (currently 11.9" but attempting to space the conversion bracket and squeeze in 12.9"), aluminum hats, & can't forget the brembo monoblock calipers from the boxster

    Yes, something good came from the boxster! ...brakes for even lighter cars

    lol, does it insult you that much?

    If i do anything i'll just stick them in a CNC machine and engrave my own logo on there....been thinking about it but don't have a clue what i would put? I like how Acura is engraved in the '05+ RL calipers.
