Wasn't mine either but with Boxster Red interior I couldn't say no. Can't tell in your pics, what is your interior color.

Good find! I love Guards Red! My dad has an 89 930 in Guards Red with tan interior. If I could do it all over again though I'd like to find a seal grey one.

Cool video with your connections from work track and PCA I would guess that you have some good help/information sources for your new 996tt.

I do! I work for a large dealership in the Tampa area. I have the pleasure of working in the motorsports dept doing the software tuning and fun stuff.

re oil(s) i'm one of the "few" that blend my oils to get a slightly heavier mix. in what passes for my proprietary

winter blend of castrol edge 5/40 ( approved ) i toss in a cpl qts of syntec 5/50 ( i saw approved can't find oil pdf again lol ) to quiet any remaining chain rattle, if there were any to begin with, that is.

enjoy that thing
