8-22-10: 57,012 miles - The car came with no rear seat belts, but has a surprisingly roomy rear seat for such a tiny thing.  I purchased a universal clip seat belt from Advance Auto Parts and installed it without the lap belt, just putting the brackets in.  I then purchased a Safety 1st Alpha Omega child seat - the key was that the furthest back part of the seat is only 11" wide - this seat has a very narrow rear and widens towards the front.  Its also upright so that we don't have lean issues and it doesn't jut too far forward.  I secured the latch clips to the empty seat belt brackets, and secured the rear latch to the right seat belt bracket.  I put a few towels behind it for extra tightness, and then tightened it - a very easy, safe, cost effective alternative to a $400+ Porsche OEM child seat.  My kid loves riding in the 911.



8-30-2010: 57,363 miles - installed 1.25" spacers in the front and 1.5" spacers in the rear, put my Boxster 17" twists on the car.
     FRONT - ET 55 (-1.25" with spacer) / 7" - 19.1 lbs - 205/50/17 Sumitomo HTR Z III tires
     REAR - ET 50 (-1.5" with spacer) / 8.5" - 21 lbs - 255/40/17 Sumitomo HTR Z III tires


needs a bit more low - luckily from my research, its easy to lower the car due to the torsion beam setups.



4-29-2011: Car has been in the shop getting a myriad of minor issues sorted out - it should come out running strong.  The paint still needs attention in some areas and I plan on addressing that this summer.  I've switched out the 17" twists for a set of 16" Cups.
    FRONT - ET 55 (23.25mm with spacer) / 7" wide - 16.5 lbs
    REAR - ET 70 (31.9mm with spacer) / 9" wide - 18.7 lbs

5-17-2011: Purchased a set of 16" MSWs from a local PCA member.  No idea what their weight is - I should go check that out some time.  They should be flush as hell and won't require the use of spacers.  Just need to get some tires on them.  This purchase officially makes me a wheel whore.
    FRONT - ET 23 / 7" wide
    REAR - ET 10 / 8" wide


5-26-2011: Had a massive amount of maintenance/tuning performed by AutoLinc - car is running extremely smooth and strong now.


6-29-2011: Just chilling with some other 80s supercars - 308 GTS Quattrovalvole and Lotus Esprit Turbo

7-10-2011: Touring with the PCA

7-16-2011: Sold.
