Talking Newbie here w/ my first 911

First off let me start buy introducing myself. My name is Jason Koplenik long time Porsche enthusiast and Gear head. I’m 39 years old and live in Tampa Fl. Religious Rolex and 12hr Sebring race spectator. First fell in love with 911’s back in 1994 when I saw my first 911 3.6 Turbo at Reeves Imports here in Tampa. It was Grand Prix white with linen interior, simply gorgeous. Fast forward to 2001 and 15 or so cars later I purchased my first Porsche in the same exact showroom. It was a Boxster S Blk with Savanna interior. It was a great car and I had a lot of fun with her.

Recently I sold an old Mopar. (That’s another name for Bad *** Dodge for those of you that didn’t know). That had now allowed me to start seriously hunting for my next Porsche. Looked at quite a few from a 928’s, 944t, two 911’s, and also a 968. After a month and ½ of searching every day on C-List, Trader on line and E-bay I found her on Pelican Parts. A 1992 C2 down in S. Florida, with only 66k miles White with black interior. The gentleman whom I purchased her from gave the 964 an RS look. Those of you who bounce back and fourth from RL and PP may already know the car. It belonged to Thomas Owen of Ft Lauderdale.


Just wanted to give a little background info before I start bombarding everyone with questions. And boy do I have questions. Glad to be here on Rennlist and finally part of the 964 Brotherhood. J

Congratulations and welcome onboard Jason, very nice looking car, first thing I would do to it, have it lowered to RS ride height.

welcome and nice choice in colors. The white ones have the fastest motors
A word of warning you may want to photochop the RS sticker off your picture before the purist come out screaming

Welcome! What are your plans for using the car? Street, auto-cross, drivers ed, concours? Do you have any planned mods or will you be keeping it as is?

Thinking about lowering the car a bit. Carrera grapic on the lower rocker and maybe a set of gold BBS 18" wheels.

I have all the rods/tubes from a linkage for a C2 that was given me by another R'lister. I already scavenged the brand new front bushing (nice guy), but didn't need the rest of it. If you need more than the bushing, ket me know.

Sorry to steel the thread.

GP White is THE best!
