Another great 964. Craig spared no expense making sure this car was maintained properly. Always had been one of my favorite local 964's. Sad to see her leave the area, but hope you have fun with her!
I told Rey after the PPI that if he wasn't going to buy it, let me know and I would! And I've seen everything and don't get excited about many cars anymore, but this one is a keeper!

Thanks for chiming in Karl. I'm enjoying every minute driving her. I look forward to taking her out every chance I get. But you were right. This car was very well maintained by Craig and it shows. My new mechanic was so impressed with how well she runs and what great condition she's in. So a big thank you for your input during the PPI process.
Mr. Alex. Honestly, I've never driven a 964 prior to this one so when I first drove her, it was a much different beast than what I was used to (I was driving a Ford F-350) and it felt great. Didn't notice anything wrong. I had the bushings changed after doing a walkthrough with my mechanic during the maintenance. He showed me that one of the bushings on the driver's side had a tear in it. So I decided to change all four bushings on the front control arm. After the install, an alignment was done. The car does feel more planted during turns. But again, I don't have much drive time behind the wheel to really make and honest assessment on the difference. Sorry.

Thanks again for the welcome and kind words! Here's a couple pics I took while the front bearings and front control arm bushings were replaced at West End Alignment in Gardena. If you're in the area, these guys are the best and came highly recommended.
I like this shot of the old and the new. 996TT getting an alignment done after getting a set of new shoes!

time for an update? Not sure how I missed this one .. nice pics
And the development looks great - love the black on blue and the OZ's look strong (and they're light)
... I'm getting ideas

Love the stance and color. The picture in the parking lot beside west end alignment really shows it off nice.
I like the wheels that are on it, but, its really a matter of personal preference, if you want to go gold or bronze, I think bronze would look better on a blue car.
