Very beautiful car!! I personally like WHITE, had a white 951 called it the GHOST! My 930 just clicked over 12,000 miles it is a 1989.

Having had basically the same front air dam and ride height myself, I can tell you that not if, but when you crack the heck out of that leading edge on a drive way, or, etc., you'll wish you had raised it sooner.
Cheers!

Congrats on the purchase!

Are those 993 turbo twist wheels?

Enjoy ;-)

Thanks all…. I am REALLY enjoying her right now…

Couple of answers:
933 Turbo Twists don’t know but I believe they are. From the build sheet, didn’t see them as deliverables. Probably added later?????

Lindsey p3’s, actually it’s the rims that caught my eye in the first place!! They match my 986 and liked the looks of the wheels from the word go!

Everyone else thanks for the kind words!
I will be around here for a long time, gonna show here off at a PCA dinner this Sat PM!!

Your wheels look like 993 turbo twists. Your car is an '87. Those wheels didn't come out until approx 1995.

I was wondering, just what were the performance modifications that you BELIEVE were not done correctly?

Well to start, very secretive on seeing the car…

On my way down to LA (Literally by cell phone on the Grapevine) after
arranging the PPI and viewing he informs me the car would probably be sold to a local buyer (WTF) ???

I would rather buy from an established r’lister, which in fact I did!!!
My car was owned by “Cory M” who is a hell of a great guy and honest to his word

BTW: If this is KC or his tuner by way of your capitalization and underlining
visible with your post, your car wasn’t that great pal, I saw it without your knowledge

First, congratulations on the car. It looks really nice and I am sure must be a real blast.

If I may give my opinion, your answer to TCallas does not seem to be addressing his question, you mentioned something done incorrectly on that car but you now say that the seller seemed to have pulled out from the deal. While this might, or not, be rude, it does not mean the car was poorly tuned.

BTW if it was TCallas the tuner, you might have just missed an amazing car tuned by one of the best in the industry, and not only in the US! But your new toy anyway looks fantastic.
Enjoy it.

Your right, meant no offense to him/they…

If I had the PPI done I could of assured myself all was well with the car since the price was premium.
Indeed it was probably an amazing car on the inside and the work done!!

Gotta go with whatever is giving you the best comfort vibe at the time. Its a big purchasing decision. Dont ever want to second guess yourself. I think you made the right choice because its what you wanted.

We dont count HP here (usually). If it says 930 you are in the club!

I agree! Being comfortable with the purchase is more important than the car itself. So you made the right choice.

Yeah these cars have a way of talking to you. When I found mine even from the web ad it went right to the top of my list!

Rob,

I appologize for not having the opportunity to show you the car. The reason is that a local buyer came first and offered me the asking price with a substantial desposit. After I accepted the offer, there was no reason to string you along by showing you an unvailable car. I did inform you about the other buyer and what had transpired during this time through private emails. I still have your email thanking me for being honest with you on the matter. It is all good after all, you have your dream car and I sold my car at the asking price. How cool is that!

KC
