Default New 1997 993 TT Owner

Hey Gang!

Been following this site for some time. Really enjoy the board. Very valuable information and great piks. Actually got some great advice on purchasing my P-car. Anyways, I have been struggling with posting piks but managed to finally get something uploaded (VGA). I have a 7.2 Meg. Pix and the smallest resize I can do is 152K. So...... I have done it through a link below as instructed.

My P-car: 1997 Metalic Black on Black 993 TT with 22,000 miles, just stock.



Hope you enjoy.

Roland

PS If the link for the piks don't work let me know. In the meantime, I will try to resize the piks show up in the message rather than linking. My Sony Digital resizes to VGA at just above the minimun size required.

From one newbie to another, welcome. I just bought my first Turbo. From the look of your photos, I would change the springs/shocks ASAP. Ignoring the ride height issue, the stock suspension's ride is cr@p. Comming from a nice C2 I was appalled at the ride quality. Most of this group seems to head the Bilstein route. In my case a set of H&R coil overs have made a huge difference. We're talking night and day kind of a difference.

Nice photos of a real pretty car.

Roland-

Welcome; I too am a recent addition to the ranks of 993TT heaven. I have owned several Porsches and numerous other cars but the 993TT is one of the few that occupies a permanent position in my personal auto hall of fame. Enjoy you new acqusistion and have fun; it is a beauty.

Welcome Roland. Just say NO to mods (after the suspension mod of course), lol.

Talking Hey Lori

It took me 7 months to find. I almost pulled the trigger on a 996 but after a lot of research, I decided to go with the 993 TT. The transaction went smooth and the delivery went even better. Had it delivered by Fed Ex in 27 hours. Came in a big FED EX envelope. Never knew they could fit one in a letter package!!!

What do you have??
