996 dash in a 997 is a bit lame, but I have a feeling this car is not so much for show but all about GO!

The RSR Individual throttle bodies have been installed along with the lightweight alternator and cooling system. This drops 25lbs off the motor.

The next step is to install 09 WC intake cams and a polycorbonate windshield.



All this for your daily driver?

Hi Andrew,

Just in time for Vegas.

Are you going to the Streets this weekend? If so, I'll see you on Sunday.
