Default New 996 TT, New to Rennlist

Hi Rennlisters!

Just wanted to introduce myself. Recently purchased my first turbo, and am starting to find so much valuable information b/w the two porsche forums (Have been on 6speed for some years with the same username)

Was looking around for quite some time, before i came across this:

2003 Turbo X50, 6 speed, 25K Miles.

Never met the previous owner, as i got the car from a Porsche dealership. Car did come with quite decent mods though.
1. GT2 Front Brakes
2. GT2 Slave/Master Clutch
3. Upgraded clutch and SMF
4. Fabspeed Maxflo w/HFC
5. Unknown Tune that i am getting replaced with a Cobb Custom Tune.
6. H&R Adjustable Sway Bars.
7. Short Shift Kit

Still trying to learn more about the 996 platform. But am in love with the looks of the car, the color, and the insane power it puts out.

Some pictures to share:

Awesome car!!

Just on my own experiences the dual mass flywheel (whilst it feels like the car doesn't perform as well) gives a better driving experience and in my opinion is better for the engine.
