Nice one. Don't know that I've ever seen an S with an RS tail or an S with those wheels.

Thank you. The OEM driver 993 seat cushioning was tired so installed this Recaro Speed seat. I may get a match or possibly some 993 hard backs if the stars align.

Danke. I was the only air cooled 911 out there =/ but the track day was a success! The car handles great and makes good power. This recent experience makes me want to do more track days in a 'cage' vs two wheeled lapping days.

I worked out a trade for my 87 911 for this big booty h0 (Thanks RD) and very pleased with the mods/updates that were completed by the previous owner. Here is a list:

- 03/18 OEM wind$hield and $eal$ (having clearplex added this coming week)
-10/17 Axle rebuild, new axle bolts, new toe steer links, new front RSR tie rod assemblies, new steering rack boots, kinematic toe Eccentric bolt & washer
-10/17 corner balance and alignment
-08/17 new clutch, LW flywheel & RS SSK
-05/17 Ceramic Pro Application Gold package to exterior & wheels
-Federal RSRs rubber / 1917 tire manufacture date
-Gemballa Lemans wheels
-Non-clubsport wing
-Stop Tech Rotors and 309 friction pads (i replaced the pads for Textars to reduce the pig squeal on the street)
-New sunroof mechanism
-New front seat motors
-New plugs, wires & caps
-TORE BERGVILLE LED lights

Here is the ad from two owners ago: https://rennlist.com/forums/vehicle-...ack-black.html

I look forward to pushing the car to a quarter million miles and beyond. =D

As for modifications in the near future; Windshield visor tint, ECU flash, immobilizer delete, Rothsport shifter, Prototipo wheel, possibly a paint re-spray or color change. I may toy with changing the wheels (twists) and deck lid (ducktail) to switch up the appearance depending on my mood.

Default NEW PLATE


I was thinking of a vanity plate (i know, corny) but not sold on this nonsense. Here are a couple ideas:

BIGWURM (my cat)
LUFGKLT
OXYCOD1

Most likely, i will not proceed with a custom plate but its fun to think about.

Thank you. Our cars run better when driven hard. It’s like having a hot piece of *** and not porking it.
