I'm planning to head to Palooza also - great driving roads up there. There is usually a pretty decent group from Dallas. Hope to see you there!

Great build! You look pretty happy BTW.

I think your purchase story is a lesson for many buyers. PPI’s and low mileage cars don’t ensure premium examples. I’ve come to the conclusion buying from a enthusiast is the only way to go. Another route is buying from a local shop. The small premium is more than offset by a well serviced car.

+1.

My biggest mistake was using a shop recommended by the seller for the PPI. In the future, I’ll probably never buy another car without personally seeing it on a lift and with an independent shop PPI.

I think you literally ticked all the boxes of 993 upgrade. Congrats on doing so much yourself - excellent work, excellent results!

That's a nice long list of improvements. Well done.

g. 97 ECU – Reprogrammed – Immobilizer disabled
Was this performed as a result of changes to the engine or to only remove the immobiliser? Or both?

Thank you. Having some similar things done to mine and good to know the options for the potential ECU items to address.
