Just guessing here but is the lic plate mounted in the tow hook receiver? That might explain the location. Pretty clean approach actually. Congrats on the new car! Enjoy!!!

Same story here -- pulled the trigger last November. FWIW, I like the black stoneguards.

 

Welcome to Rennlist and congrats on getting a 993! You'll not be disappointed with anything about these cars. Safe motoring!

 

hey welcome to THE place

 

Hey Tony, Welcome! .. and congrats! Your 993 is a real beauty. Tell us more about it.
Also, give us details about your buying experience - a nice long writeup. What have you owned in the past? Tell us more about you. Where do you live etc..

What year is it?
How many miles does it have.
What are the options?
Give us some interior pics!!

My opinion. Lose the decals but the 993 one is pretty cool. I vote for no license plate up front. Clear markers! I'm in the market for some too, just don't wanna spend $200 to do it.

Love your wheels, wonder if they're hollow. Not a big deal if they're not.

Looking FORWRD to more info!!!

 

I bought it outright, it has 85k miles ...

I kinda like the red mobil pegassus, easy to take off, I'll see in a few days usually I like things cleaner, we'll see... what are PSS10s ? bilsteins ?
it has 85k miles and is in great shape overall. the previous owner was really meticulous...

It has: front strut brace, very nicely done, RS flywheel, turbo wheels as you can see, chrome tips and Factory sound package, brand new Y michelins new break pads for track, I think that's it....

thanks! will consider ... what about red calipers ?

 

Thanks Guys !

 

I'm kinda with willus. While the stoneguards change the look, they add a sorta retro look. I'd leave 'em on for a while.

 

Yes I've had them before, they go in the tow hook. I will actually take it off, you just keep it in the trunk with the plate in case they stop you, then you just screw it on in front of the oficer and you're good to go, pretty cool no ?

 

YES, VERY COOL!!!!!!!!!!

That way if you're going on a long trip, OR if you're out on the town and have a few you and don't wanna be messed with by the 5.0 u can put it on!! ..and you DONT have to drill into the bumper!

Where do I get one??

 

The Mobil Pegasus decals should be relocated to the rear side windows if you like them and ditch the spark plugs. Otherwise beautiful car, great choice in the fastest of the Porsche colors. Look into lower ride height and some Fister exhaust cans. Congratulations and Welcome!

 

The only decals that are on right now are the red pegasus, all others were static cling no longer there... Fister exhaust cans you say? Are they just for looks?

Well it all started back in high school, I was 17, the 959 came out, lights out! the 993 was like its child, I dreamt about it , obsessed about it, read about it, you know ... so as much as i like all exotics and read about them like ferraris, etc I think I have been more drawn to german technology, (except bikes love Ducati, lots of soul) anyhow, went on vacation with the wife with a copy of road and track with the 911 50th anniversary. That really got me going and at first I thought i wanted a dedicated track car maybe an SC or a later carrera so I started looking.

The idea of a project/hobby car was pretty appealing so I scrubbed the usual places , PCA mart, e-bay craigs etc, must've looked at 1000 cars, I thought I would pay my dues to the brand by starting at the raw level, no traction control no abs and work my way up learning the ropes on mechanics, dynamics etc.
So when I saw this 993 the difference between what an SC or carrera plus fixing it would cost me, was not much, maybe even money, so I thought, this was a better fit. A great looking car owned by someone who really took care of it, that I could sometimes take to a track day (PCA DE) and still be able to take it out for a spin around town and enjoy it, take the wife and the kids, and most of all, this was the car that haunted me since the 90's so, it hadn't been out on the auction for two days, I read the description looked at the pictures and the mods and something clicked, I knew this was the one.
I called the owner, spoke to him over 20 minutes and I knew it right there, he was the third owner, which had it for 40k of its total 85k miles, all service records, no accidents etc. The way he spoke about it with passion was all I needed, we ended the auction wired the money and a week later it got here, the process was as good as I've ever had, the owner a really cool, polite, classy member of the PCA, sent me everything: books keys, records etc. He even sent me a Porsche pedal car for my kids. He got the car ready for minor track use leaving the rideability of a street car. He changed tires, break pads, put in a strut brace on the front, RS flywheel, factory sound package and a few other things. I was very pleased with the transaction, more so with my first drives, the car is in really good shape overall, the feeling of driving it is amazing, great torque, feels nimble and responsive, great feedback on the hands and the sound, well, I could hear that all day long and then, I go to the garage and look at it.
