Hey cb, talking about wheels--the steering "wheel" in Montoya's car is simply awesome! That is one thing I have to change on my car. Being thicker with that carbon fiber is fantastic. Also you are welcome on the pix.

If you have the factory wiring (check for the pigtails next to the mounts) then you need the mounts and the DEM module, plus programming.

Great find!
Our cars are twins! Be interested to know your options...

Now Montoya, wouldn't want to impose or anything but it would be really nice to get a couple of shots of the car, but with more of the house and surroundings. You seem to have an awesome spot, and I would love to see more of it. Sorry, it's just that have this thing for houses, and mountains, and views, and... Well, you know.

Such a special/memorable feeling when you get your Porsche: congrats!
The black wheels really offset the yellow: looks excellent! Some unique options also.
Make sure you take it to ORP, you're going to love it even more.

You bet- just need to wait for the weather to clear- snowing right now! I was hoping for a few chances at some joy rides today!!

Yes! ORP in April with ORPCA! That's the plan. Let's hope for good weather. My favorite track- I haven't been to The Ridge yet tho...

My daughter might be going to Lewis & Clark college this fall. My wife says Portland is a beautiful city- people are friendly, free bus service inside town and no sales tax(both wifey/daughter are shopaholics- ugh!!). Congrats - always like yellow and red on the gt3. Mike

I can't take credit, but the previous owner did a great job!

Plan your trip in the fall, the best weather and gorgeous scenery. If you can bring your car to coincide with a DE, even better!
