Default Introduction

I have been enjoying the Rennlist community for a few months now and wanted to take the time to formally introduce myself. I purchased a '97 Coupe in April and have loved driving it ever since. I bought it from a fellow R'lister and the car has totally lived up to it's billing.
Here's a pic:

The car has 18" OEM hollow twists
Bilstein PSS9 suspension
Racing Dynamics strut bar (1 piece)
RS Flywheel
RS Motormounts
I have recently reconditioned the seats and fixed the squeeky windshield. Will be repairing broken driver door strap next week.

This is my second Porsche. Before buying the 993 I sold a '67 912 that I installed a '73 911 engine in. I really enjoyed that car and still miss driving it, but I realized that it was a never ending project that took my time away from my first love:

It's an '88 M3 that I am building into a club racer. Finishing up a programmable EFI install and may be close to finishing. The M3 was my first car and I will keep it forever! Hopefully it will be useable very soon.

Nice...across the board! My 1st car (at 16 in 1986) was a BMW 2002tii - some would argue to be the 1st M car

Very nice.... & if you weren't aware of it, Porsche put their strongest engines in white 993s. I wonder if BMW does the same thing?

I forgot to add that I am in San Diego. Maybe I will get a chance to meet some of you at an autocross or a cars and coffee.

Flat 6 - I like your bumperette delete. Who did the work? Will be considering this mod soon. The 2002tii is a great car. It's amazing how similiar cars look and drive even when they are seperated by decades.
