Thanks for your kind words Ed. You must have seen my pics on mye28.com board. The wheels are BBS 3-piece RS, size 16X7 1/2 I think, with centers painted black. I am currently running 225/50-16 Yoko A032 DOT approved competition tires. I also have another set of wheels with same size BFG R1s that I'll be using at the track next week (first time using these tires). I have replaced the entire suspension with Hartge springs, Koni adjustable rear and Bilstein sport front shocks, Suspension Technique sway bars, and K-Mac adjustable front camber plates. I have a Dinan euro chip in the car, and the BMP strut brace you saw in the pics. I also use Schroth harnesses for the track, have a Momo Type 78 steering wheel, and Momo competition shift knob. Next I think I may swap my 3.73 rear end for either a 3.91 like the US E28 M5 or a 4.10. I have never timed 0-60 or quarter mile, as I think the car stands out more in handling. There isn't much I can't hold my own against at the track, and I credit the car more so than my abilities. I too could go on and on as thyis is my passion. I also am contemplating selling the car (I feel like I may be struck down as it's my baby) because I've always wanted a 911 and can't justify having both. Let me know if you have any other ?s, and good luck with your car. Bailey
