Viggo-- Any Arena Red 993 is gorgeous. Any 993 Turbo is an amazing machine. You've done incredibly well combining both. Drive safe & have fun!

Well Viggo, you did it! You will enjoy the car so much. It looks like a stunner.
Shame it's winter, but only 102 more sleeps and you can get her out
Well done.

Thanks Josh . And the fastest color too right? Well, maybe the second fastest after Nogaro..

Amen to that . I doubt I will be going back to NA, these machines are just the pinnacle of mechanical engineering !

Thanks Matt . Rain gutter delete?? Wait a minute how could I've missed that??? . Seriously that would have been killer though.. hehe.

Thanks for the kind words Q . As for the winter tires, they are regular Cup2's 17inch and barely clear the big reds in the front..

Thanks Simon. I'm going to be an idiot and say no mods planned except for new tires if you call that a mod. I'm going to stay as close to original as possible but I know I've said that before.. hehehe. A track project with a 993TT as the base has always been a dream. I will do that sooner rather than later. be it with this car or the next.

Graham, I wish were lived closer to eachother. A photoshoot with the two Arena red beasts would be killer . You getting a 993TT really inspired me to say the least. You have great taste my friend

Absolut! Och ifall du vill kan du ju alltid dyka upp vid banan, så bjuder jag på några varv.

Deleting the drip rail is not exactly trivial, but you could install the Ruf pieces that fit either side of the windshield (windscreen) to improve air flow across the A pillar.

Lucky to find a sunroof delete car! Does it have a back seat? Always nice to find a low mile, "unmolested" car. Congratulations.

hey, wait a minute... I just had a terrible thought. Does this mean you won't be posting pics of the pretty cars you run across?

I will miss seeing all of the interesting cars you have posted while on the hunt!
Congrats again

congrats. looks like a great car. once you go turbo you can't go back. those tires are very dangerous and hard. you may find the shocks are shot too...not sure what is on there.
agian welcome to the club and enjoy. you may find yourself sneaking into the garage to peak now and then...ask me how I know...I still do it and I'm on my 3rd winter with the beast.

mine is covered during winter storage - peeking is not that rewarding. or you you remove a cover for viewing?

Unfortunately it has a back seat.. You can't get everything but I all can say is I'm pretty damn happy as it is . I'm going to try and keep it "unmolested". We'll see how that goes..

Thanks Mark. I am always active in searching, it's part of the fun IMHO . Although not as actively as before, I'll keep my eyes open and share any kind of candy I happen come across.. deal? I can accept a custom 2wd transmount as a downpayment..

Mine is under the cover at present. I will pull it off in the weekend to have a look at it . New rubber is on the list. Will check the shocks, they are original but not sure of condition..

I like it

But those wheels are only on temporary, right?
