Wow, really? 335k miles on a 993TT? That's pretty cool! How has it held up?

That's awesome. Glad you're enjoying the car. Have you had to do engine rebuild(s) and curious at approximately what mileage?

Apart from the engine replacement/rebuild, how has the chassis held up? Does it still feel tight? What about the interior? (I'm asking as someone soon to be in the market and open to the idea of a higher mileage car.)

Impressive. Question though. You don't drive with a 7/6 F/R setting do you? My favourite street setting is 4F 6R.

I remember your first thread as you bought the Turbo s engine to replace the first one with more then 250k miles
Did you fixt the second one? Why and what's happened and how expensive was to fix it properly?
ciao
