Default Intro and pics

Finally time for an intro to RL!

Thanks to everyone for all the great info, advice and feedback. I was very fortunate to ping a fellow RL before he posted his '96 C4S for sale and closed a very quick and easy deal locally. I've always wanted a white/black widebody 993, but thought I was dreaming.

It had some great upgrades already from the previous owners:

*updated suspension
*LWF and clutch
*fister IIIs
*valve guides replaced
*front/rear red seat belts
*C2S grill (which is one of my favorite mods)
*litronics
*every service record/doc since day one! (very impressive binder)

I've done some minor maintenance work and (a few) mods:

*oil change
*replaced the belts
*professionally detailed
*clear corners
*993 sport seats!
*refinished the set of 996 turbo twist wheels that were included in the deal

I look forward to meeting up with some fellow RLs soon. Until then, some pics from over the weekend after a nice wash.

Nice car. Congrats. I'm a big fan of the split grill too. My C4S also has a painted split grill. I wonder if there is any way to have a chrome split grill manufactured.

welcome car looks great. You could throw some 5mm spacers all round with those 996 twists, really does make a visual difference, and relitively cheap too.

Time to color match the backs of the HB's, that'll really make em pop.

Great looking car. Congrats. I have the painted split grill on my C4S too and love it. I wonder if there is a way to get a chrome split grill made for these cars.... that might just look amazing.
