Default The 963 is in Canada now... (new car!!)

After a 3,000 mile road trip from California to Ottawa, the 963 is back in action.

This is my second Porsche (944S previously) and it's a one hell of a beast compared to my old one. For those who know the car, the previous owner was a rennlist addict that took great care of it. It's got a 1997 993 engine and 6 spd transmission and runs like a charm. Didn't burn any oil during the trip, didn't leak any either!

I put on 17" sport classic wheels, but I wasn't too sure if the look was good. It's growing on me now. What do you guys think? Also, I have some rubbing issues in the front (it's a 1991), what should I do about it? Are bumps steeran easy install? Get some spacers?

Thanks

Cool

I never liked Targas... but those photos changed my mind... now I have to be more selective... I do not like pre-1990 Targas...

Wow!! That car looks very nice. And the wheels are a nice thouch.

Congratulations!

Looking good. Needs to be lowered now.

Also....looks like you have a CAT-by pass?

Great looking car - I prefer the spoked wheels to the D90's but that's just me. Wonderful to have another 964/963 in the country!
