Looks great! I must say that the conversion looks very good. The triple black is going to be warm in the summer for you. Hope the air works well.

Very nice, enjoy

how do you like the feel of the sport seats? they hug you well. I drove my slant for 12hrs straight once and having had 2 back serguries I was comfortable and didn't have to stop except for gas the whole time.

This is my winter car and the 996TT will be my summer car. I don't think the AC will be strong enought for the summers here in Phoenix. I absolutely love the sport seats. I also have sport seats in the 996 but I must say the lateral support is better in the 930T.

The gauges in the center console from left to right are outside temp, clock and voltage.

great looking car, absolutely fantastic, congrats with the purchase. I'm sure you will love it.

From your preivous thread about purchasing the car, I mentioned that I responded to the Autotrader ad for $10550. I just got a response from someone telling me about the car, no leaks, maintenance done etc. They went on to say they are working right now in Canada (where I am from) but they have the vehicle ready to be shipped through ebay and DAS. All they require from me is my name, address and shipping address and they will have ebay contact me to purchase the car and send me an invoice. I responded with a request for more information and am now interested to see how they reply. Maybe I will end up owning the same car and we can share it whenever I come to Phoenix, lol...........

I'll keep you posted. Sorry about going off topic, just thought you would like to know in case some idiot does send them money and they do end up with a invoice for a car with your VIN.

Yesterday I got a email from someone that was interested in the car and about to put down a deposit. He is lucky and contacted me, via ebay and I told him to run away and report the thieves.

TT Surgeon: Thank You!

Everybody complains about the AC in these cars but I don't think its too bad and I'm in humidity central....

Yes I am aware of this scam. I already emailed them and told them that they belong in jail. I did not say it that nice however.

Very nice car, congrats! Do you have any pics of the engine compartment? I may have missed another thread but what upgrades were done for the Ruf conversion? Anyway, that car looks great in black.

RUF did not do any performance upgrades. The previous owner has installed a front mounted oil cooler, a Garret Turbo not sure which one, and cams. It has a stock intercooler. I have pretty much babied the car since I got it. I will throw it on the dyno soon so that I know the AFR's are good just for peace of mind.
