Red face finally in with pictures

I’m finally capable of posting pictures and feel im finally in with the rennlist family of 993 lovers. You guys have been very helpful in the past six months since I purchased my first Porsche and want to say that im impressed with the kind of care and support you guys have for each other
and looking forward to be a part of the gang.
I need some advice in picking a front bumper and or splitters, does anyone have any suggestions or pictures which would be very helpful.

you got 319hp on a dyno measured at the rear wheels - that sound insanely high...

I seriously doubt that is 319hp at the wheel, maybe at the flywheel...

mimmo,

That's beautiful!!!! Is it Black with a black interior???

Obviously - we need more pictures! (Edited: nevermind - you just posted some more - thanks!)

Oh - and by the way - any parts you need to upgrade? Allow me to be first in line for the "old ones" that you need to get rid of...

319 HP was to the crank
I’m no expert when it comes to dyno numbers, but from my understanding
When a car comes out of the factory and the manufacture gives specs on performance
I guess the numbers in horsepower are to the crank or flywheel, minus a 17% loss by the time that power is distributed to the wheels. Driveshaft….and so on.
Stock 272 HP Minus 17% = 225.76 HP To wheels
My Car after Mods
319 HP Minus 17% = 264.77 HP to Wheels. Please correct me if my understanding or calculations are not right.

Mimmo,

Beautiful car. You have a very tasteful package here.

47 HP (17% increase) with breathing and chip mods is impressive. Do you know what chip is in your car?

Also, how do you get to addict status with 17 posts?

In my opinion ,If you got the turbo rear wing ,the third brake light should be remove and replace it with the version that on top of the rear glass like the '96 - mod els like TB93TT's car
