Default My new Turbo (w/pics)

Man I'm so glad to be finally posting on this forum lol... I sold the C2 and purchased a few weeks ago my 2003 996 Turbo with 70k miles. David at KONCEPT MOTORWURKS in Agoura Hills had done all the maintenance on this car which is who took care of all my work on my C2. If you are in the Los Angeles area I highly recommend you check them out they are an excellent shop. Anyways I put everything back to stock with the spoiler and front bumper then added the 19's. Car came with Pss10's and am working to get a tune with Kevin from Ultimate Motorwerks at the moment. Toyo tires were on the car and will be switching those over to super sports (or the new Michelins I heard they are coming out with soon) after I have some fun with these. Let me know what you guys think!

Looks awesome...congrats.

Are those 19" wheels? Reason being we can't get Michelin PSS in stock or GT2 18" size. Which is a shame, because they are excellent tires.

Thanks... As for the tires I was at the PCA meeting on Saturday and spoke briefly with a rep about why they weren't available in this size and he informed there will be a new Michelin tire released in a few months that is going to be an in between of the PS2 and the PS3 (I can't remember the other tire mentioned but I believe it was the PS3 so don't quote me on that) which he said to hang tight as they will be out soon.

Try this guy. Not too far from you and I am not sure if he still has it but it was one I was looking at before I made my purchase.

Thanks. Are those Asanti's on yours? That exact same set was on mine when I bought it and I replaced them because they were banged up...
