Default I cannot wait any longer

Hello, here in Sweden the summer seems far away. I thought i should wait until the summer so I could take some better pictures of my "new" 993 Turbo.
She is a stock 993 Turbo -96 black metallic/black leather interior with 80000 km on the clock and I bought her in november.

Mods? Not so many so far, i thougt i would drive her some hundred km before I decide what to do, probably something with the suspension and wheels for better track performance. Only purchase so far are Fabspeed muffler bypasses (Thanks 70Bee, the pipes arrived this morning), and som "bling-bling" things like white sidemarker lights, new floormats, aluminium footrest. So here comes some pictures, enjoy!

But, this is my car! Looks exactly like mine except for the interior.
Bought mine last spring and I've spent the winter fixing shocks, bypass valves and some other minor stuff. Can't wait for some warmer wheather to take it out!

PM me your address and we'll send you some nice oval silver indicators. Look a zillion times better than those bars of soap stuck to your wings!

Hello Thomas, well it's seems pretty common with swedes owning black turbo's here on Rennlist.

Are your upgrading your suspension or only new shocks? Before i do anything with my suspension i need/wan't to try it on the racetrack just to determine if only new shocks or a complete sport suspension kit.

Anyone know if there is a BIG difference for a guy doing about 5-8 trackdays/year with a kit like PSS9 and stock?

I used to have 964 C2 with H&R Cup Kit + many other things, an RS wannabee, before and that car was lovely on the track but a little bit hard to live with on our bad roads. And the "bad road behavior" is nothing i wish to experince again.
