AudiOn19s Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Finally found a replacement for the turbo, holding out for exactly the color combo we wanted was worth it in the end despite me almost caving on a couple of instances and getting something different. 2011 Turbo S. Almost every option possible except rear aerokit wing. Current mods - GMG springs, 20" HRE wheels and Sharkwerks "exhaust" (muffler bypass). Going to be able to put the champion intercoolers off the old car on there, will be tuned with Cobb Accessport, and need to do something about those 600 cell factory cats to really open it up. All in good time though, for now we'll give it a couple weeks stock power before I start to turn it up. http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q192/ZainoDetail/56EABF4F-03C7-49E2-9AA2-029A591FDBA8_zpsn7iuuko4.jpg http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q192/ZainoDetail/248E8AF4-D254-43E8-80D5-C883259305DC_zpsbowiv0jl.jpg http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q192/ZainoDetail/7793DF2E-82C9-4A14-BCF0-DF0173DC4008_zpsnogzpbdx.jpg http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q192/ZainoDetail/E883DC15-E1EA-44BC-8A18-289B9507AA24_zpssr65rmho.jpg http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q192/ZainoDetail/27AC7C1A-9604-43AF-943F-92B4D96A3508_zpsaczcqakg.jpg http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q192/ZainoDetail/B458AD85-8125-4B96-829A-D12FC3D53D78_zpsixrhtumf.jpg http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q192/ZainoDetail/D5F6B5B1-F0E4-4CD3-A834-3CE292D9B8B7_zpsagtgfog2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Awesome car! What's the name of that color? Wheels are a touch big for me, but look really great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted June 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I think the cell phone pics are making the color a little bit lighter than it really is in person. It's traditional Guards Red that's been a Porsche staple for years and years. I'm interested to see how the wheels look once I lower it a little bit more and close up that wheel gap just a touch more. I have the factory 19's for the car too.

Aaron Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Ah, yeah the pics are playing tricks with the color. I thought it was something like the orange pearl color Byers has on a 991 on their lot. not a big fan of it. Guards looks fantastic. The wheels look much better than OEM IMO, lowering will help a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versluis Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I LOVE this car. Where did you guys end up finding it? Really liking the wheel option/color on this car. The painted backs of the seats is a nice touch too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted June 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Wow that looks cool. Is this for the lady? yup...she got up early to take the long way to work this morning in it. Very cool!. So does the yellow one have red calipers? Red calipers = steel brakes Yellow calipers = carbon ceramic brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Alex- Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Awesome. For some reason, those painted seat backs and bottoms are probably my favorite thing on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buteo Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Gorgeous! I'm having a bit of trouble telling from the pics, is it a manual or pdk? I'm a big fan of carbon ceramics, clean wheels all the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The painted backs of the seats is a nice touch too. Car came out of Vegas. It was actually not on the market. I knew of the car and knew it was what we wanted and tracked it down and convinced the guy to sell it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted June 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Thought all 997.2 turbos were pdk. It's PDK. All Turbo S cars are PDK. you could get a 997.2 turbo in manual but they are pretty difficult to find. The PDK thing was the toughest decision for me but honestly it's the best fit for a car that we intend to be 95% street car and driven by my wife on a regular basis. Not to take anything away from her she's a fairly talented driver and has tracked the GT3 and her old turbo 6 speed numerous times, but in the end if I'm being brutally honest the PDK is the right fit here. Launch control is pretty darn ridiculous too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchi Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Awesome! Glad you found exactly what you were wanting in the end. Car looks fantastic. Does she love it? ( I mean, what's NOT to love about it?!?! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
