Default My first post and first Porsche

Well I just bought my first Porsche, a 91 Carrera 2. It is on its way from N. Calif to Connecticut.

It won't be here for 2 weeks and I have already purchased some parts for it.

I bought 3 Cup II wheels so I need a 4th. I need one front 7x17 et55 part # 993.362.124.00. If anyone has this wheel in v. good to excellent condition I am interested. I will post on the 993 board as well.

I also bought H&R springs (the turbo reds) and Bilstein HD rear shocks for the 89-90 964(mine has a 7/90 build so I couldn't use the later shocks). If anyone has a pair of new Bilstein HD front struts I am interested.

Looking forward to Rennlist membership and Porsche ownership.

Thanks!

I attempted to upload a pic but file too large. I will have to get some smaller pics.

Greg... Welcome to Rennlist! You'll find this forum more valuable than any book. (Though there are a few good ones you should get.) If you need to resize pictures you can send them to me or download a freeware app and do it. For the rim... Check in the classifieds here or on ebay.

Do a lot of searches... You can spend DAYS reading past posts here.

We need pics!

The color is turquoise metallic w/tan leather. I know, not most peoples first choice but I like it. I would have preferred black, silver or blue but the price was right and the car is in great condition according to the mechanic who did my PPI.

I want to post pics but the files that I got from the previous owner are too large. I am not a computer guy so if someone can walk me through how to reduce the file size I will post. Or I can email them to somebody if that's easier.

Go to somewhere like photobucket.com and open a free account. Use the upload button to select photos from your computer and they will be automatically re-sized as they are uploaded and then IMG and HTTP links automatically made for them. Click on the IMG link and it will be automatically copied. Open Rennlist in a new window, compose a message paste your IMG link into the message and voila!

or you can go here
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx
and download image resizer (about 1/2 way down on the right) and simply right click on your picture pick resizer and follow the simple directions. After that go to advance - manage attachments and upload.
