Thanks guys! The car has 85k miles. So far its running great. Yeah the orange is going to stay for a little bit. The tail and bumper need to be painted but I know a guy I am going to planning on adding the following:
RMS
IMS bearing
AOS
Oil/water cooler (leaking alittle)
Water pump
Third rad.
clutch, flywheel, PP
GT3 sways, tarret drop links, lower control arms
Plugs/ coils
All fluids and filters.
I might clean and match the injectors too
Good question about the difference between the difference of the 930 to the 996. The first thing you would notice is the difference in throttle response. The 996 is right now the 930 if not at the right RPM's in not. The steering feel is much worse in the 996. This is the only thing I don't like about our spec Boxster, nothing drives like an aircooled. As far as a more every day driver the 996 wins hands down. Its been a while since I have driven a mkII on the track so I forget details, its got plenty of TQ. I don't plan going crazy with this car, I don't need another full track car. We are going to take it for a big drive tomorrow so I will report back.
We took it out to dinner and I got a lot of looks. I kinda feel lame that it looks like a GT3RS, I know 99% of people don't know the difference but I do....
Thanks again

Congratulations - I really like the orange accents - would have never thought I would.
I would make the frunk vents (or what ever the slats are between the frunk and bumper are called) orange and the name plate on the back orange to finish it out.
Beautiful car - enjoy!

Thanks guys.
I took the car on a big road trip today and other than an front tire unbalance the car ran great! The thing is going to be a ticket machine if I am not careful.
The orange is growing on me.
Oh anyone know an easy way to trick the computer that the rear spoiler is going up? I am getting sick of the alarm.

Sounds like you need the fixed wing wiring harness....part # 996.612.070.51
