Default Introducing…..

New Younger Family Member!

After spending the last 3 years doing Auto Cross and 6 DE events with my 80/20 - track/street, Speed Yellow 993, I decided to go to the safer and purpose built Race Car.
I will be taking the edge off my 993 and going back to a spirited street setup. I will be raising the car to RS ride height, soften the RS sways and KWv3s.
The painted hardbacks will make their way back in the 993 and the speed yellow powder coated Das Bolt-in Roll bar will be removed.
My New Sparco Race seats and Schroth 6 point harnesses will be installed in the 996.
Also, in the near future I would like to upgrade the stereo with Bluetooth-NAV option (if possible).
I am looking forward to driving the 993 on the street more often with a bit more comfort.

993 parts for sale soon....
