Julian987 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Fantastic job. Looks mega. Only thing that jumped out to me in the video is the rounded end of the black stripe on the hood looks a big jagged and not perfectly crisp. Could be the video playing tricks on the eye though. I would reckon doing those stripes as decals would give a crisper edge finish. Looking forward to part 2. Looks stellar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time I'm out there I'll take a better pic of the stripe. I don't think it is jagged but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a barn.. can't keep all the particulates and such out of the paint. its not horrible but i do have to sand and buff, which doesn't bother me as i would have buff anyway. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ttt123 Posted February 21 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 21 Front bumper is on now. Took me a while to figure out some issues i was having with the lights but all good now. Also made some mounts for the front door speakers. Should be pretty loud. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ttt123 Posted March 17 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 17 All finished up. I have a new IPD plenum kit and GT3 throttle body for sale if anyone is interested. I put them on for one week and pulled them back off. I didn't like the change. $800 for the whole kit, shipped from 48446 is someone needs them shipped. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windymiller Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 From the photos it looks like you’ve done a great job - I think your ‘GT-R’ style / look really suits the 987 shape, and the colour is superb 🤩👍🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will drive pretty awful without a map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Softronics map on my car and it's been spot on for just under 6 years now. Curious to hear what's caused your bad experience/if Scott has gone downhill.

ttt123 Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 (edited) well for ME.. no support. I had an issue with my check engine light coming on and tried to get some help trouble shooting it after the tune.. I was met with "go have it inspected and get me the codes" So I had to either go by me a code reader or have a mechanic look into it. So I ended up taking it in and $1300 later the porsche mechanic said it has something to do with the 02 sensors. I didn't pay to have them fix it as they said it was most likely the placement of the sensors on the after market headers. Told that to Softronics in a thread we were going back and forth over and he chimed in and said "ya 02 sensor placement can cause engine lights" which left me replying "you couldn't just have said that before i spent $1300 on a mechanic" Not a fan of them... there customer support sucks.. flat out sucks. I have his back and forth emails and he is rude, short with you and once you pay.. your on your own. My experience with them.. i know plenty are fans of theirs. Kudos to those who have had good experiences with them FOR ME.. not a fan. Edited March 30 by ttt123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
