Congrats from an ‘01 Guards red owner to another! Looks beautiful and has some great upgrades. Welcome to the forums and happy driving!

SCraigB

Good looking car, I love red.

Carlo_Carrera

Congrats.

Congrats on the 996 Turbo.

Beauty!

Thanks y'all for the welcome. I feel like the car is in a good place powerwise, just need to drive it and get used to it. My other car(s) are a 2zz swapped MR2 Spyder which is much lighter and flickable and a fairly modified CLS 55 AMG (build thread here: https://mbworld.org/forums/c219/7351...ld-thread.html) The experience with the CLS has me wanting to try and just leave the 911 in its current state and just address the creature comforts.

Congrats on the turbo; the contrast of the bronze wheels over red works really well.

LinwoodM

Beautiful car. Where did you happen to procure this car form?

lost27

I lucked out and got it from a private seller in San Antonio. Drove down to just see if I was interested and drove home very happy

LinwoodM

I thought it looked familiar. It is a beautiful car. Great buy!

Dang - I’m in San Antonio and would have been all over this - looks gorgeous. Congrats!

Very nice TT!! Looks great in red and the wheels are fantastic. Enjoy it.

Dropped the car off the dealer today to get the PCCM+ installed along with a new spare key. I noticed that my Rennkit eRam kit was still in the UP position when I stopped the car. This seemed odd as it has been performing flawlessly since I've owned it (about 3 or so weeks). I put the key in the accessories on position and hit the spoiler down but it did not go down. I didn't get to do much more diagnosis but I asked the tech to take a look or see if it was working as normal.

Has anyone had a similar issue with the Rennkit eRam Speed Version? Is there anything that I might be able to share with the tech? I could not for the life of me find any instructions short of the threads on Rennlist and some youtube videos. The receipt I have is from 6/19 for the kit direct from Rennkit so I figure I'm just outside of any warranty

Mine has worked flawlessly since installation.

Odd....
