Hi gang,

Here she is, my '04 996 TC. Bone stock but for the RPi exhaust, which is really growing on me! I've got some go-fast(er) bits that I'll be adding soon though.

A collective thanks to everyone here for being such a great source of knowledge and experience for newcomers to the platform like me.

Be seeing you!

Welcome and congrats. Would love to see a few more pictures of the beast when you get a chance. How many miles ? Were you looking for a while ?

 

great looking car, welcome to the board

 

Welcome! Car looks great - now get some painted bumperettes! ;-)

 

Congrats on your new toy enjoy it!

 

ECS, I'll post some more pics when I get the chance to get some nice ones. The one above was just a quick one from my mobile. I like it though! She's got about 27K on her, and the PPI came back solid, with the usual caveats such as the slave cylinder and tires. I wasn't looking long at all. A year ago, I told myself "next year." And on a whim I did a search in Jan. She was the only one in that year/make/model/color I could find in the US. Amazingly, she's dressed up in full leather and carbon fiber, with yellow gauges, seat belts and backs - exactly how I would have spec'ed! Found her out of state and flew to meet her on Velentine's Day! PPI and downpayment that day. A month's work of paperwork and transport later, she was in my garage.

Thanks everyone. And XLR8, as for the bumperettes, I'm keepin' 'em black! I like the contrast with the yellow, particularly on a cab with the black roof - tucked in or otherwise.

Cosmetically, I have in hand a Strosek wing, a pair of side intake splitters, and an aero-style front lip. I'm considering painting them black also, but am leaning heavily towards keeping them yellow. I prefer the stock-ish look.

Performance-wise, I have a set of K24s going out for hybridization and upgraded WGs, plus a 5-bar FPR (thank you Fadi!). And planning a Markski tune when all's said and done.

sounds like a great ( beginning lol ) combo of mods, both cosmetic and power. congrats and enjoy it!

 

Nice and clean! Perfect time here for top down weather.

 

Love the license plate.

Enjoy the ride!

 

Thanks guys. Misha, I wish I could say the same here on Long Island... we've got this weird weather thing still going on with mostly 60s in the day and cold at night. Looking forward to nice long runs of 80+.

OP. Where on LI are you, also local and have a SY coupe, would be cool to get some pics of a SY vert and coupe.


cheers

 

Lennon, Nassau/Suffolk border. There's a "gimmick concours" event at Huntington Porsche on June 15th. I'm going to try and make that. Otherwise, PM me your details - would be cool to get some sibling shots.
