Hey Matt. Not sure if I'm going to hang out around here for all the historic races / concours etc or not - but if I do go, then yes, lets convoy.
My search for a 993tt was interrupted by the purchase of another C4S... Still looking for a tt, but this C4S was too good to pass on.
The suspension on the 944 is a full Koni "showroom stock" set up, which is much the same as the M030 but with adjustment for both rebound and compression. It's a really awesome set up & not too harsh at all.
I also need to give props to my trusted Wrench, Eniac. He has performed just about every single modification I've done to this car - both performance and aesthetic. Everything has always worked first time & the care he takes on the car is a testament to his enthusiasm. Also to my good friend Disasterman - for having the best equipped 'private' race shop around and the generous welcome he always extends.

The power steering pump is a Forge unit.

I was pretty impressed at how the car looks outside, then I saw the engine bay pics...
"Oh my god... -It's full of Stars!"
Seriously beautiful!
(although is that a little catch-can throw-up on the passenger side strut-tower?)
I wonder if that's the same as I found on mine...? (the rear shock on the right is the one I have being rebuilt as I type this)

You know, Nile green is one of the only colors I've seen on these cars that occasionally makes me look at my car and think: "you know, Crystal Green Metallic is nice, but...."
that's an absolutely gorgeous car.

After being in the body shop for such a long time, the engine bay needs a little detailing (happening today, I think).
Yes - your shock seems to have the same 2 adjustment locations as mine.

Amazing. Your attention to detail is noticeable and your taste is very good. Your car has re-inspired me. I can't wait to get my 968 mirrors and handles on. Once my mechanical gremlins are taken care of I will start saving for some killer wheels like those Ruf pieces. Kudos!
