Looks great! I've always loved the RS steering wheel and almost went that way as well, but I instead went with the 996 3-spoker as I couldn't rationalize not having an airbag.

Sounds like you need one of each color Tim! Then you can start with all the models too....LOL! Oh, then of course you should sample from each of the years they were made....

Yes to all of the above. Just need to work out a couple small details. You know, minor stuff: money, storage etc.

Never drove my car with the stock 4 spoke wheel on it. I have the RS wheel also, and love the feel.

Another suggestion for ya Tim..did you ever consider adding Chris's instrument rings on the gauges? IMHO, they are a great finishing touch.

Thankyou and I agree. The "different" cars I've considered are all the same from the driver's seat. Well, OK, the RUF Turbo R was a little different.

What do you mean? The RS wheel doesn't have an airbag?

All I can say is I NEED to meet Speedy (and of course her awesome owner). PM incoming.

I'm surprised how different the car feels with this wheel, seriously. As to the rings, with my car's silver gauges, I thought the rings might be a bit over-the-top.

Nice buyer! I'm glad you still have it-beautiful. The decision to sel is SO tough.

I know what you mean when you say "the 993 is the one for me"

I've been hooked on cars for many years. I had some nice ones like gear heads do. It seeemed back then no natter what I was driving, I was always looking for my next car. I don't feel like that anymore since I got my 993. Looks like this is it.s

An update: Car went to bodyshop in early November to get new windshield, front bumperette delete, and some rockchips tended to (front end respray) as well as some pesky (small) door dings taken care of. After a truly horible transportation experience (I had the car flat-decked there and back), the car is finally home.

I went with amber Euro lenses as my 95 has the clear Euros. All new seals at the front etc. Now I must wait for spring. Next up: Walrod bushings, an alignment, and MAYBE swap the Bilstein HD/H&R setup for some freshly-rebuilt-by-Bilstein PSS9s.
