  • heat cracks in OEM steel rotors - front or rear (although this car appears to have PCCB)
  • PCCB optioned car now with steel rotors
  • slotted steel front rotors
  • upgraded or replaced splitter [check mounting spots]
  • upgraded or replaced brake ducts [check mounting spots]
  • upgraded brake pads [e.g., P50 for PCCB, RS19/29 for steel]
  • balled up rubber in the fender liners
  • balled up rubber in the radiator openings [just reach your hand in and feel around]
  • underbody scrapes or missing aero
  • rubber streaks on paint or windshield
  • upgraded drop links, toe links, dog bones
  • carpet cut outs for roll bar
  • wheel studs
  • "no seat belt" warning chime disabled
  • over -2.5 negative camber
  • 4 or 8 degree wing shims on (or in included with car)
To the OP, good find and good luck!

And as to the tell tale signs... spot on! My car ticks all the above! damn... hahaha

Yeah, Sharkwerks had a thread on my car last month, roll bar, brakes, tubi exhaust, ecu, suspension goodies, fire extinguisher, euro seats, 6pt harness. Heading to Thunderhill tomorrow to test her out.

Going to do another photoshoot this weekend but for those of you with 6GT3's it's been a while since the car's gotten any coverage so be sure to pick up next month's Total 911 Magazine
