New to the 993
Hey 993 forum,
I have sold my 1976 912E. I loved it, but it needed a lot of work to become a DD that I was unable to do.
I traded her in for a 1995 Carrera 4.
Really looking forward to reading through these topics and learning everything I can about this vehicle. It has been a joy to drive thus far.
Here she is!

Thanks,
I'll add some pics soon!
My plans are to drive the hell out of it. As far as mods, I intend to keep her mostly original, however I am adding a double din head unit with Android Auto so that I can have Waze on the big screen- will update that too!

Right there! I posted about this unit a few weeks ago when I had it in the 912. It's a single din unit that has a double din screen. Pretty cool for my purposes. I like original, but Waze is Waze. Plus I can have Spotify and never look at my phone for a text. I kept the original Porsche radio in case I ever sell the car...
If anybody needs more details, let me know.

Thanks!
Here's one. It came with 996 Cup 3s as well as the original cup 2s- but I like the look of the 3s so they are staying for now.
Thanks, It is the XAV-AX100. It has Apple CarPlay as well as AndroidAuto which I am using.
They are coming out with a newer model that adds a CD player- but this one is priced right and I don't need a CD player.
Thanks, I do love this car, there are a few benefits to the 912 that can't be found on most other cars. There was a lightness to it unlike any car I've ever felt. In first gear taking off in the 912 felt a lot like an electric bike does with that instant torque. Also the handling, in my short time with that car, I was able to push it to the limit while staying within the laws of the state of New York. Beautiful, slow and FUN! Enjoy yours!
Here's a shot of mine

Congratz,
I apologize for asking a personal question but, how many miles on the odometer?

Beautiful car and congrats! I love the carbon touches in that interior.
I am not a fan of the Boxster wheels, and they definitely won't get much love here on RL. The cup 2s or 993 twists would be a huge upgrade.

Thanks! Didn't know they were Boxter wheels! That's good to know- Maybe I'll put snow tires on them and summers on the original cup 2s.

That sounds like a great plan. The Cup 2 wheels would look more period correct on the 993. I thought that those were Boxster wheels but it looks like they are 996 C2 wheels. This is a very helpful link that shows all of the different wheel weights, factory part numbers and offsets:

I too think of those as boxster wheels....wheels are personal taste of course but those are not popular among us 993 junkies. But I have a C4 cab and love it... enjoy your 993 and welcome to the club!
