heinzboehmer's 2002 Topaz 6MT Coupe

Oh also gonna be at Laguna Seca this weekend, so I'll finally be able to test the 996 caliper evacuation ducts

I don't fully trust the material yet, so won't be running them with the fan. Plan is to just run the small mounting tab for a couple sessions and if thay doesn't distort/melt, then mount the full duct on (sans fan). I've only printed a duct for the one side, so I'll take temp measurements. I don't expect to see any difference, but why not.

Another Bryson project:



Haven't driven it yet, but I have driven Bryson's car with this same brace installed and it does get rid of some very noticeable vibrations. Happy to be making the car more civilized on the street.

Coby wheels are wrapped over the existing leather making them slightly thicker. Not sure about anyone else, but stock is already borderline too thick. It's more work to take the old leather off and rewrap from the bare wheel, but you can see the difference in the end result. Based on the pictures, Tanik's work is on par with OE, but a few hundred bucks less - 700 vs 1000.

"too thick" is subjective. A previous wheel of mine I had extra foam added, for additional thickness :P

Both my wheels did not have the old leather or alcantara wrapped over and others that I know have not experienced that either. Mine is factory thickness and reconditioned to, in my opinion, OE or close to spec. I obviously have never had my hands on the company’s product mentioned above but it does look extremely nice.

Can you elaborate on that? I obviously haven’t experienced the product from the aforementioned company but have had two cobywheels (one in my former ZHP and one in my current) and I think the quality is excellent. Just curious what the difference is, that’s all. Cobywheel always seemed to be the “go to”.
