Default Ryun's Racing Yellow thread...

New GT3 owner here. Just arrived and I thought I'd share some pics.

I traded my 997.2 gt3 for an50th 911 a little while back. I had grown weary of the clutch in traffic and scraping on speed bumps. The anniversary car was fantastic. I loved all the details and the powerkit 9A1 is a great motor. At the end of the day it was a little too subdued for me and I missed the craziness of the my old gt3. So I began the long search for the right 911. I was set on ordering a new one even paying a premium for an allocation but since PTS was closed out I was focused on finding a used one.

Took a while to find the right one. Buckets and front lift were a must have.
The market is obviously crazy right now especially for LWB.
Long story short, I found one in PA that was perfect. A touch more equipment than I wanted but everything I had to have. For another data point, while the dealer was orginally asking 20k over MSRP, we eventual settled on MSRP plus shipping.
Equipped with:
Leather interior and platinum stitching
front axle lift
Sound package plus
Luggage net
Sport Chrono
Sirius XM
Interior painted package
LWB
PCM Nav
Wheels Painted Black
PDLS bi xenons in black
gauges in white
Center console in leather
Got dropped off today so still needs a full detail but it is fantastic. The delivery took a bit to get sorted so I have some parts to toss on today that I accumulated the past two weeks but these will serve as the "before" pictures.

Following the lead of a few others, I will post the modifications and impressions under this thread.

Thanks to the forum for helping guide and inform my purchase...

Without further delay here are some quick pics...

Congrats. You will love it immensely. Also, you could not have picked a better colour, as you can see, I love RY. It's a PTS colour that you don't get charged for.

Over the years I've had a ton of bright cars so pretty used to it:
Ginster yellow gti vr6
Laguna secs blue m3
Imola yellow s4 avant
Lime rock orange m3
Speed yellow cayman s


As much as I love a white gt3 with red bits, I wanted to go for something different
I would've of ordered a pts Mexico blue or a crazy green but this will more than do me

The black accents are really set off with the yellow
