Been holding off posting until it’s in my garage but….
1-owner (I’ll be #2) Forest green C2 Targa with special order black/silk grey full leather and LSD 😀. Couldn’t be more excited for this one. Picking her up on Friday and then the games begin!!
She is absolutely stunning! The color combination is to die for! Congratulations on your purchase!!
Ha!! So you're the one.
I've been following that car, was at one point seriously interested and chat w/ Tim. Was thinking about a swap but couldn't part w/ my C2S.
I was fantasizing lowering to ROW and replacing w/ Cup I plus spacers to replicate the look shown below.
Give me some time and you'll see your fantasy come true. May stick with the D90s for a bit though. There's something about them....
Thanks. Unfortunately, the GT3 is sold and being replaced by the incoming 964 Targa.
To clarify, I'm not posting about a 964 suspension mod. I'm posting about a potential group buy that I may be able to put together for Ohlins for both 964 and 993s.
whats the reason from moving on from the GT3? Too raw...too much car? I remember you had just picked it up last Fall...

Ha, no, def not too raw. I absolutely loved the car......got an insane offer on it that i couldn't pass up. Putting the rear seats in made it more desirable then expected
Plus, i've been itching to get back into an aircooled car. There's nothing quite like the experience of one....
Just a FYI for the guys interested in Ohlins R&T coilovers. The overpriced off the shelf kit was replicated by a local SF Bay Area Ohlins dealer for one of our Rennlist members who lived in Sonoma at the time. I’ve been in communication with him and the development work that was done sounds spot on. That maybe a better path for those looking for such a kit. It’s frustrating to see 2x the price of the 996/997 kits. According to another Ohlins dealer the reason for the price difference is because it’s made in Germany vs made in Japan and the low production numbers. His contact said there was nothing special going on inside to justify the $$$. The front lower clevis and monoball hats are also part of the problem. The above mentioned rennlister kept stock tophats on his.

Honesty if you're thinking about it I wouldn't hesitate, I don't know of anybody who has put them on and isn't completely happy with them. Go for it!!
Are these referring to the same car? I’d love more details on an alternative to the off-the-shelf kit., too.
