A few weeks ago, right after the Slamry’s air suspension was done, @tim_type_r ‘s 911 was going under the knife. New exhaust, wheels DSC controller for PASM, a whole bunch of goodies, basically. Once I heard it was done, I met up with him at TT to look at the car in all its glory. And of course, park my car right beside his.
Reminds me of a rennlist.com forum thread “Show me your 997 with non-Porsche wheels”.
So Tim ended up sourcing a black/black set of BBS LM-R’s from Yahoo Auctions Japan, then having them stripped and repainted with gold centers and polished lip. Finished off with red center caps and R40 Iconix Lug Nuts. Baller status
305 width Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires are the only appropriate option!
Some side by side action. Our fitments are very similar as I sold Tim my 12mm spacers, which make the effective offset almost identical to mine.
Some good ‘ol carbon fibre. Hilariously, Tim’s tips don’t get dirty nearly as easily as mine. DFI problems :(
Of course it would be rude not to have a look at the other cars in the lot. Terence’s Murcielago has come out again in its brilliant firey orange color. After getting a full correction and XPEL, it’s flawless and well protected.
This may be the last we see of this car, as I heard that it is in the process of being sold to a US buyer. Thankfully I had the opportunity to be driven around in such a special machine. Super raw and very loud (aka perfect).
Cheers,
Gary
