Much appreciated!
I'll post more when I get to take more pics.

If I'm not mistaken, IND did the paint job for this key fob.

Update:

F80 has been partially parted out and now back to OEM+

Car is also listed for sale - HERE

T1M3LESS · 09-16-2021, 04:43 PM

Haven't been as active on the forum but for those that reached out and messaged - I no longer have the F80. I ended up selling it last month. It was bittersweet for sure as I loved and truly enjoyed driving and modding that car!

Nonetheless, while I'm on the forum, for those wondering, I ended up getting a 992 C2S - Jet Black Metallic exterior x full leather interior with lizard green accents and in a manual transmission of course.

It's been a little bit over 2 months of ownership in this thing and I love it. Nothing to take away from the F80, but the 992 was definitely a welcomed change. Overall, the 992 just feels more refined, especially the handling and just how the car drives. Power delivery is ever so smooth (obviously my tuned F80 felt faster), the manual gear box feels very engaging with the well-defined slots/gates and of course the iconic 911 silhouette is very pleasing to look at.

Additionally, as expected, I just couldn't leave this car stock. LOL. Ended up giving the 992 a subtle drop with the KW HAS kit along with some HRE P104SCs in Stone Clear.

I'll be for sure to check in from time to time as the F80 still holds a special place in my heart but here are some parting pictures of the 992 for you guys -

Hoping to see that GT4 someday.

Love it! Love the splash/addition of that green.

So, uh, this car became a bit "Elanor"-ish for me. I followed along this thread as the build went along, through all the different iterations of wheels, lips, etc. It's a great story, and the car was clearly loved. When T1M3LESS posted the car for sale in 2021, I had just bought a house and wasn't in position to do anything about it. Fast forward to 2022, and it was posted for sale at market peak. It was overpriced, so I was going to wait it out - until someone scooped it up. Odd things happen in life sometimes though. While continuing my search for an F80 with carbonstructure cloth plus comp pack and manual, lo and behold, this car pops up for sale again! I'm not sure what happened so that the person who bought it a few months ago sold it, but I bit the bullet and pulled the trigger.

It was delivered on Friday afternoon/evening.

I've spent a fun weekend with it, driving, going to car shows, and - of course - modding! I'll post some pics and details in a bit.

Here are a couple of pictures from when it first came off of the transport:

Thanks!

Some of the early stuff is going to be figuring out what's still installed on the car and what's not. Last owner wasn't as kind to the car as the original owner.

But, before I took delivery, I knew the M Performance alcantara arm rest and parking brake were gone, and front lip was cracked. So, I ordered those parts. Dylan IND-Distribution was super awesome and those parts actually arrived even before the car did! 👍

I got the Autotecknic Carbon Competition Front Lip. Looking forward to installing it soon.

Congrats!
Thanks for sharing/posting.

Truthfully, there is maybe a little bit of regret on my end that I sold this car. LOL.

But it’s with an enthusiast now so I can live with that.

Looking forward to see what you do with this car! This one is a keeper!

Thanks! I am super happy to have the car. And the very brief Convo we had about it helped me with the decision, so thank you for that. It's in fantastic shape other than a couple small cosmetic issues that I will be able to deal with.

Awesome! I love the carbonstructure (and 6MT). It was definitely tough to find a car with these specs. 👍

cotmfk · 12-14-2022, 12:05 PM

I installed the M Performance Alcantara Armrest and parking brake. I love these things and how they change the look/feel of the interior. Plus, it's a quick and easy install!

I used the following video as a quick guide, so if you're on here, thanks for making it! 👍

I met up with Anarchy919 and swapped 666 wheels. This was a beneficial trade for both, as I think both cars look better with the color on the wheels after the swap! 👍

I struggled a bit getting the spring back in. I was super excited when it popped out and an edge went under my fingernail.

Ow!!! That sounds SUPER painful! 😫

cotmfk · 05-22-2023, 08:23 AM

It's been a little while since I've updated the thread...

I've cleaned up almost all of the little cosmetics that were on the car when it arrived (probably mostly due to the shipping and last owner - not OP). Been to a few meets. Overall really enjoying the car and having a ton of fun with it.

cotmfk · 05-22-2023, 08:24 AM

Weekend meet - need to get out to more:
