Just wanted to know for sure what was going on with it. lol

I'm looking forward to actually being able to hit open track days later this year in my FB as all the bugs that were keeping me from doing anything with my car should be fixed.
not sure about any track day. i've had a guy in a 930 turbo refuse to let me pass him cause he felt his car was much faster (too bad it wasnt.. haha.)

that car as you pointed out, is a C2 with the GT2 flares, etc. Actually, could be a C2S since the back w/o the flares is wider than a regular C2. i dont recall. sigh. wish i was paying more attn when he was trying to sell it to me. hehe.


speedjunkie; i'm running eibach/koni yellows - you know, the entry level setup.. hehe. i'll have eto look into some coilovers down the road,, if i still have the FD.

If you still have the FD??? Better be joking friend! Lol. Entry level, haha. Alot of people run that setup and seem to like it. I got STANCE coilovers from Rishie for $1100, they're pretty nice, I like them so far. The spring rates are a little stiff for streets, rough streets anyway. On good streets it rides pretty nice.

And I was really hoping it was a GT2. That's pretty funny about the 930 Turbo though. Sure they are fast, but decently modded FD's will tear them limb from limb (assuming they are stock, or close enough to it).

Damn MadEoINoTaiwaN, You have quite the eye. Yes it is. Do you have a Ducati too? I have a 1998 916 monoposto. And yes, now that Terblanche is gone, I'll be picking up a 1098 S sometime soon.

How do some of you get the infamous hood/bumper gap to go away? Mine is off just a little in the center (like most of us). Is there any easy wasy to re-align it or is the plastic bumper warped? I was looking through my old brochures and that nice, straight hood gap really looked nice...

Maus, nice job on your gaps. Very clean too. The photos and locale are nice. Very pro looking.

maus midlands: Don't really like the center section of the taillights, but the rest of the car looks great!

While the Tricolore is far from garish, it's just not my style. Plus I'll have essentially the same bike after I put the Termignoni and chip in. Ducati red for me, thank you. If only it still had the white tail section. Still compared to Terblanche, Fabbro is great. Tamburini is the master though. If only Ducati wouldn't have pissed him off, the 999/1098 would have been the MV Augusta F4 (minus 2 pistons). :grumble:

From: FL-->NJ/NYC again!
Had a local photoshoot yesterday with my FD and another forum member's black R2---DJF(NJ). My 500R saw 150mph about 4 times too.....at one point made a 60 to 140mph pull in 10 seconds flat

P.S. Before anyone mentions it, I have some newly refurbished R1 oil coolers that are going to be installed soon along with a pair of R-Magic Oil cooler ducts, so I'm getting rid of the stock oil cooler ducts soon.

P.P.S. Neither car was cleaned up before these pics, they had actually just been rained on a bit.

P.P.P.S. Pics taken by my brother, Bridgeported12A
