Here are the pictures.

Got the car with about 35+kms pretty fresh and well cared for. My mecganic looked it over thoroughly and gave it his green light. This is my 2nd 993. The first was lost in a tragic accident and was lucky to escape alive sadly the car wasn't.

I really liked this one because of the condition and low miles. I have to admit I wasn't really a fan of Polar Silver coming from GP white but this color and it's many shades has grown on me. Other notable features: no sunroof and no motorized power seats. Also came with with turbo bumper and the turbo wing. It came from Japan and didn't have the turbo wheels. Guess you could say that was my first mod to the car. I also installed the S ducts which I prefer over stock.

My next mod was a fabspeed airbox and airfilter. I preferred the sound and eventually went for the xpipe with sportscats. Sounded much better. I then ordered stage 2s from Darin and holy smokes! Thought it was too loud, but after a long drive with the windows down there was too much smile factor that it wasn't going anywhere. In fact I think I have found the right combo- at least to my ears.

Next am paitently waiting for the Steve Wong chip which is set to arrive by mail anyday now, I can't wait.

Thanks for the patience but this was a learning for me as well. (how to load pictures that is)

cheers all!
