Hi
Beautiful car man! Tasteful and functional mods.! That's the way to go! Just one question, where did you get the (felt?) covering for your steering wheel? I have been looking for that for a long time! Best of luck with your 'done right' car!!

Car looks great.. Do you drive this on the street in California? I'm moving there very soon, and selling my 8 because of how horrible the laws are in California. Do you have to do emissions testing, or visual testing? Any other info? How many times a month do you get pulled over?..

nice stuff, who tunes the car? The car looks wicked sweet!

I've never heard that weird tire noise...is that the sound of Rcompounds making that like screeching noise? I've never heard that kind of tire noise while watching any TA videos and what not, at least i never heard street tires making that noise i suppose...any info would be great, at first i thought you were scraping something

Yes, I do drive it on the street. My commute to work is short, and I just try to keep a low profile (well, as much as I can given how 'stealth' the car is). Because I bought it new I don't have to do any testing for several years. I could be wrong, but I think bringing in an out-of-state 8 will probably be painful.

Bryan at GST Motorsports has done all the tuning for the car. He has been able to make GREAT power that is 100% reliable each and every time I hit the track regardless of heat or how hard I abuse it.


As for the noise, it is definitely the tires...the A048s do seem to howl a lot...or maybe I'm just pushing them too hard.

Yep, Speed Element has them and I HIGHLY recommend them. Custom made for the Evo wheel and greatly improved grip especially with gloves.
