Default Finally picking up my 996 LS3

I have been lurking on rennlist for over a year, thought I'd finally join the conversations.

Next week I will drive from Calgary to LA, sell my 2002 Boxster S, pick up my 1999 996 C4 with a 3 year old LS3, and now with a rebuilt 996TT transmission+new clutch, and trans to LS3 adapter. It has been a sordid tale with deception aplenty. Thanks to nine11designs, I am looking forward to a working hybrid car.

Robin.

Dude, I am in Lethbridge but flying out of town Sept 3 until Sept 20th. Do me a favor and drop me a line if you are coming through town outside those dates. I would absolutely LOVE to take a look at it.

Hybrid vehicle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

A hybrid vehicle uses two or more distinct types of power, such as internal combustion engine+electric motor.[

Who in LA did the conversion?

Anxious to hear about results!
