Default Well, it looks like Arena Red for me :)

Gang:

Barring any last minute snafu's it looks as if the 1997 Arena Red TT advertised in the for sale section is mine.

It has BB Exhaust, Possible upgraded turbos, Boost gauge, Bilstien suspension etc..

The miles a a bit higher at 80k but with the PPI's in two places coming back positive it looks really good.

The leakdown was 2% across all cylinders and the compression was between 138 and 141.

He is taking my 996 in trade as well.

Anyone in Birmingham want to go visit it

Here is a picture:

That's great!
Arena red is the original colour that Porsche used to advertise the 993tt I think - but then again I'm a little biased!

Wow! that is a very beautiful car! Great color Would this be the HI car you were asking about in an earlier post? I certainly would have remembered that car if I saw it. Maybe too fast to see? Congratulations!

Nice car. I would not let the miles bother you. I'd rather have a higher mile car that has been serviced and maintained than pay a huge premium for a garage queen. Here in AZ low mile cars that are rarely driven can be the kiss of death. Very dry and seals leak.
I've always loved the "kills bugs fast" ad!!
