Default Finally - my first 993 C4S

After 1 year of searching for the right 993 C4S I finally pulled the trigger on a Speed Yellow 1997 with 41k on the clock, bone stock except Bilstein PSS9. For the longest time I was looking for a Silver, Black or Blue car, but fell in love with this super clean Speed Yellow car which has been meticulously maintained with all records and receipts from its first 13 years. My two young boys (6 and 2 years) love it and I can now give them a proper automotive upbringing. Next step is a better sounding exhaust system, recomendations are appreciated.

Wow, she’s a beauty! I would make sure you have one of these at that ride height.

Congratulations it looks a beauty, a year of searching really paid off.
Sure your boys will have lots of stories to tell in later life about dad and his yellow Porsche

Safe driving...

Congrats on finding a cracker... SY looks stunning on the WB 993's.

Exhausts... Fister's are the only way to go. Speak with Darin at FD Motorsports.

She is absolutely beautiful and sitting at a perfect ride height - well done. The wait paid-off!
Cheers,

Great looking car. Do not worry too much about the front protection bar. I have two 993 cars at this right hight and if I scratch something it is with the convertible that has the FPB.

However, another recommendation: Get some OEM Big Oval exhaust tips. They have been built for the wide body

Beautiful example of a 993. I see the Sloan license plate frame.

Would you PM me with details of your purchase from Sloan. I would like to understand the experience, the flexibility on pricing, etc.

Best of luck and enjoy the miles ahead.

Mark
