I know the feeling! I used to be on this forum daily and after I sold the 993 I just cant bear to come here often. It reminds me of the fact I dont have my 993 anymore. I sold it to fund this project...

I really should have kept the 993 and just taken longer on the resto. The sad part is the 993 sale only covered 1/2 of the resto cost! That said, Im going to get another 993 as soon as I can swing it. White 993C2S hopefully! I really miss that car!! I do love the old one though but it just isnt the same. I will admit that the old car is a ton faster than the 993 though

Also, I talked a friend into a set of your cans for a 997 and he loves them (Garry Simmons)! Thatr is one of the things I miss most is the sound of the 993. I must say my 3.2ss twin plug also sounds pretty good about 7500

Sorry for the hijack.....But...a few more then done.
Here is a pic right after I got her out of storage for 25 years. Did I mention this is the first car I ever drove. Hence why it was important to restore to me.

Yea...they were acting goofy. Thanks for the comment on the resto. I actually took it down to a bare tub. Every nut bolt has been replated, everything powdercoated etc. It was fun but way more expensive than I had planned. Problem is that I cant just drive it anywhere and leave it anywhere like I did with my 993. Just a different animal I guess. But as the topic of the thread says......We really envy you guy (and girls) with 993's !!!
