Thanks for the "supportive" comments. The paint looks better in those pics than it does in real life. The PO painted it on a really humid day...its got some runs in the clear coat. As my friend says, "...it looks good from far, but it's far from good." I absolutely love the car. I cannot take any credit for the build of the car (except the Fuchs and brand new Kumho V700's). The PO basically built it from a bare tub. The minimal rust that it had was repaired and it was built for the track. Mild 2.0 w/ dual Webers, 911 struts, 911 calipers and vented rotors all around, Weltmeister swaybar, Konig sport seat, 5-point harnesses, and a Fuel Safe fuel cell. Let me know if anyone is interested in seeing some other pics.
Thanks Brian |

Very Nice, Mountain and Bravo! I like the rear flair and rocker treatment on the Mountain car. Bravo's silver with the polished rim 16's is striking. What size tires are on the silver car? Also, how much fender rolling and massaging was done to fit the 7" wide rims? I am running 205/55 series with my 6X16's and I have always thought that maybe a 50 series tire would be better proportioned to the car. Dave

Dave,
Thanks for the kind words. I am running 205/45-16's...I also have another set of wheels that have 205/50-15's. I really like the proportions on both sets, but the 16's look the best. The only thing that was done to the fender wells was to pinch the inside lip...no "pulling" was required. Brian |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Brian, Do you have any pixs of the interior?? I do like your custom rims and tires. I stayed with the stock Mahle wheels. My sons helped me clean and paint the rims and the car two months ago and they still look clean. The rear wing came off of an Accura, but we had to modify it to make it look right.
The red paint makes the car go faster then yellow, just ask the police!!!(HA) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Thanks RB... Attached thumbnail(s) |

Aaron,
Yes we painted the rubber bumper tops. I used flexable primer and flexable bondo(very thin) I found both of these products at my local paint supplier. It worked good but if I were to do it again I would buy fiber glass bumpers instead. If you want to know more details just send me a PM. Thanks RB... Attached thumbnail(s) |
