Got Me a Free 996 911

[KiaGiver]

Pops bestowed upon me his 2003 911 Carrera 3.6 6 speed

It's not in bad shape for only having 73.5k miles, but there's a few things I've had to address already. Mainly, they're just little things, but eventually I'll get the IMS retrofit done. Yeah, the wheels are ugly as fuck, but I ordered a set of BBS LM's that'll be here some time in August.

Powdercoat those wheels like gray or whatever and they'd look pretty good.

How you like this compared to your Subaru?

You don't deserve it.

“Free” = 35k Gift ?!

I'm sure it's still in his dad's name, so he doesn't have to pay taxes on the "gift"..

While the wheels aren't totally suited to the car, the color matched thing does work at it's not that bad really. Congrats either way though man. What's the specs on the wheels you bought?

The analog experience is much better for driving satisfaction in the 911. My subaru is worlds faster, though. Pretty good pair, I think. I enjoy both cars on different levels.

I just ordered some new wheels instead. I'm not gonna fuck with these forgestars.

4k and yeah they're new. They're being assembled right now in Japan and they should be arriving stateside some time in August.

More like 20k, roughly, but yeah. For all intents and purposes, it was a "free" gift to me.

They're gold faced with diamond black lips



18x8.5+56
18x11+60

I hate the high offsets on Porsche wheels because it makes brake clearance calculations a bitch without poking too much and ruining the fenders. I had to sit with BBS and RavSpec on this one to dial in the fitment I wanted without poke and without having to run a 5mm spacer in front to clear the calipers

Fair enough, didn't know fitmet would be such a bitch on those cars. That should make for a pretty good looking setup once it's together though.

Thanks! it was only a bitch because BBS wouldn't customize the face since these are limited editions. I had 3 choices and it took forever for BBS to get back to me on which of the three didn't need a spacer to clear the brakes but were still tame enough to have a decently wide tire and not poke.

Are you sailing the forgestars?

[razr390]

Not interested just wanted to see maybe it can offset the cost of the LM’s
