Where did you get that dead pedal & who built that awesome MAF housing that bolts up to the stock airbox? I love it!

[peteb3]

dead pedal is genuine Alpina part, i ordered it via Schmiedmann.com
the MAF housing is off a budy, not sure who made it or how

I've got matching black anodized pedal covers coming soon, as well as the read RD strut tower brace, an Alipne head unit and a full Supersprint stainless exhaust including headers coming, should have more pics and updates to post soon, today spent time working on the 996, did a suspension overhaul, needed new front upper mounts and strut bearings, and a general cleaning and lube, few minor broken parts to replace, winters are rough on coil overs.

Few more goodies arrived, so i got right down to it


some lovely black anodized Turner pedal covers thought they went well with the Alpina dead pedal:







read RD strut brace to match the front:

Your pics are way too big.

I want to follow this thread as it seems like you are doing good work, but the photos are very large and none of my browsers scale them. :(

Regardless of the photos, keep up the good work!

[peteb3]

how do i scale them down, im using photobucket, cause thats where all the pics are

i cant figure out how to make them smaller

[peteb3]

Some more parts arrived, a little noise maker:

[peteb3]

also decided to upgrade stereo






speakers will be next, the head unit has highlited the shortcomings in the stock 30 year old speakers

[peteb3]

got the pics resized :)
hope that helps

Very much so, thanks!

[peteb3]

Finally got some time for a few more projects

First up was interior shampoo:







Then decided it was time to replace those 30 year old speakers, also wired them up direct from the head unit, no need to use tired factory amp:



and finally, got rid of the stock sealed beams, installed the Bosch euro ellipsoids, including all new wiring, connector caps, headlight adjusters and bushings, she winks now:















a little taste of whats next:

[peteb3]

Suspension install happened over the weekend, tried and tested (and very familiar) Bilstein sport shocks/struts and H&R super sport springs, along with new hardware, Ground control camber plates, M3 offset poly lollipops, she has a nicer stance and an even nicer composure while driving now.

After install pic:
