So, when can we see some pictures of your beautiful new baby?

Wheels: The D90's will be my winterset. In the summer (so, probably around march/april) I will buy a set of Cup 1's 17" with tyres.
Apart from that: probably H&R coilovers. But again, next summer...

That Amazon Green is really a fabulous colour. I like your wheels and mirrors as they are (I'm one of the "retro-look" lovers around here.) Enjoy and have fun.

I paid attention to oil pressure today when I went for a drive. 1990 C2, 90k...
At idle: 1.5 bar
Decent throttle: 5-~5.5bar (a little above the scale)
Looks like mine has high blood pressure.

Congratulations and welcome to the Amazon Green club!
Here is my former 91 Black and 93 Amazon together. My buddy "Slappy" is now the very proud owner of "Blackie"..

. 1.5-3 bar hot idle 20W50 oil, 20 Celsius ambient, 4.5-5.5 (off scale) over about 2.5k rpm, (needle bounces around a bit, probably a bad sender or a dodgy ground or some darn thing, I can get an extra one bar of pressure just by hitting a bump!) Porsche says somewhere should be 5 bar at 5k rpm IIRC. My point is, don't obsess too much. My recipe for Porsche enjoyment - Start car. Fasten seat belt. Got oil pressure? Go.

.8 bar(12psi) is enough for idle for pretty much any motor as long as it jumps right up when you give it Rs. 4 bars is almost 60psi.
How old is the oil?
My 928S loses about a bar of idle pressure when the oil gets whooped.
