Default New turbo owner

Hi Guys, been dreaming about a 993 tt for years, it became a reality yesterday. I took a break from Porsche after 3 and half years in a 997 C2S, and tried a 2008 M3. It was a nice car, but boring, I was seduced by the numbers I guess. I recently started a search for a 993 C2S, met Willhoit, he was very nice and knowledgable, but did not have what I was looking for at the time, and spent plenty of time on the phone with Sloan, but nothing worked out. Then this 993 tt showed up in Dallas. I got a ppi at Ruf, Park Place Porsche had Ruf fix what needed to be fixed, and installed a new clutch. Hans at Ruf was awesome to deal with. Got it detailed at Detailwerkz in Dallas, Brian has done cars for me in the past, it it was ready to roll. I live in Arkansas so I just drove to Dallas, dropped off the M3 to the new owner, and picked up this 1996 Speed Yellow 993 tt with 46K miles on it. I am so impressed with this car, the look, the feel, it is definately a keeper, you guys have provided a world of info and guidance, sorry for the bad pics, just an intro, more pics when the sun comes out,

Imran

Thanks, the previous owner kept it in great shape, there is some wear on the driver seat at the bolster, and I had Brian at detailwerks dye some areas on the dash that were scraped, it came out perfect. I have not had in turbo in 5 years after my modified Audi S4, nice to have some boost again,

Welcome / Bienvenue
It's a keeper.
If you plan on spending some $, get it lowered to ROW or lower height and aligned.

Enjoy.

Imran,

I saw your car at RUF recently. I am glad that they treated you well. Very nice car!

BTW, my Dad lives in LR. You will likely run into him eventually. Black 964 and SY Boxster. And come to Palooza next year!
