heres a couple pics...will post pics of the ///m and the turbo later
Greg - sweet ride and awesome color combination. Car sounds fantastic. Still looking forward to a springtime get together.

btw, my '03TT should be here Tuesday from Dallas.

Weird, my B+M was perfect! At first it was very notchy, and from first to second heard like a liquid running through a tube type noise LOL.. Took it to dealer and under warranty they replaced the synchros or did something, felt totally different after

But anyway, half the fun in the cold weather is with DSC off hah, the back end comes out whenever you want it too, and STAYS wherever you tell it to with throttle

thanks as well. Actually the car in the avatar is another 6speed guys old car that I poached from the "Wheels and Tires" section. I'll use it until I get some pics of mine. Mine is arctic silver though. I love the Hamann PG3 wheels (in my avatar) but they are so damn expensive. I found some cool new wheels by IForged that I will most likely order on Monday for it. I know you had a set of IForged on your 996. Did they work out well for you?

I can't wait for Spring. This ice **** is getting on my nerves now!!

yea...its funny because the 19s for the m3(oem) are sooo sooo much heavier than the 19" iforged that were on the C4. i will eventually get a set of BBS RGR's for it. i would say iforged are good, good quality, BUT in the rain, they hold water on the inner barrel which sucks. i would say buy some BBS LM's, RGRs, or R GT's, much lighter and wont hold water, but you still cant go wrong with iforged. i liked them and would prob do it again. its up to you, but BBS are so light that its hard to not buy them since they are less expensive than iforged and more performance oriented.

yea lms are somewhat on the heavier side IIRC 25 and 27 f and r respectably. but the rgrs and r gts weight in at like 20-21 lbs for both front and rear, now thats light. i agree champion wheels on the P car are out of this world! yea scott, go with champions!
