Hi, Im not new to the Porsche family. But I AM new to the beautiful Black/tan 96 TT that I just recieved last week. Its got 40k original miles, did a PPI and a POST inspection with my local Porsche guys. Car is in great condition. I did change out those awful OEM Monroe's with H&R springs. Did not match. Placed Bilstein Pss10's, aligned/ corner balanced and this, along with a shock brace has transformed the way this car handles. Looking foward to a long term relationship with this car. Happy to be aboard!

Welcome! The suspension and alignment and corner balance are the best things!
Pics immediately or we go all ghetto on you.

OK, I feel sufficiently threatened. I'll get them on ASAP. It is a sweet ride. I have a nice 87 Carrera Coupe for sale 55k miles, very clean original car, asking 26,500 if anyone is interested. Black/gray. some nice perfomance upgrades, car is beautiful, needs absolutely nothing other than a loving, new owner.

This IS a tough crowd! Its snowing in NJ as I write this. I just got the car back from its Bilstein/Shock brace, change all fliuds tune-up, etc etc. I like to start ownership knowing whats been done and when. Soooo I'll post pics when I can get this puppy outdoors. Its a great ride though. Its so freaking beautiful, I think it blows away the P cars that have come after, at least in design. Performance is amazing, right out of the box, but Ive NEVER left a car I own "stock". This car is "Tabula Rasa" for mods. Can't wait to reseach whats out there, what works, what dosen't. Im glad to be a member and look foward to getting "into" it with you all.

Congraqtulations. They're fabulous cars. I got my 993tt a month ago and have put 500 miles on it!... and am planning to get the pics up next week when my membership upgrade comes through. What maintenance did you get done in addition to the fluid change?
