Its been one month since I picked up my first Porsche (actually my second...had a 97 Boxster for a couple months 12 years ago) After almost 30 years of owning and racing Japanese sports cars (RX7's, Supras, NSXs) I made the leap. I am very happy with my decision.

She's an 02, one owner Gray/ Black with 40K miles. Car is bone stock other than the wheels. I am itching to start making changes...

I will do a little more research and then get started.

Suggestions?

 

The other side...

 

Here's a toast to our one month anniversary! 02 996TT

 

I did the same as you. Welcome to the club!
Before I jumped to Porsche;
Conquest TSi
Stealth Twin Turbo
R32 Skyline GT-R
EVO IX
300ZX Twin Turbo

 

A beauty!

 

Cheers....

 

I know so many people that have moved from Rx7s to 911 turbos (including me), it's a natural progression I think haha.

Welcome! The car looks really nice.

I suggest doing a boost leak test, fixing leaks, then getting a Cobb AP and exhaust. Then prepare to be bit by the mod bug!

 

hah, yep, i had an FC turbo II and then bought a relatively stock FD R1 and heavily modded it to 400whp. it was never reliable, shocker!

so glad i made the switch, you will be too.

enjoy it! get a tune, exhaust, bbi slave conversion, new clutch, and enjoy the hell out of it for a long time!

 

There are a lot of Supra converts on this board. I bought a 1993 FD RX7 R1 new and kept it for 98,000 miles (300whp). I then owned a 95 Supra (400whp) and a 97 Supra (540whp) before moving over the the 911 (515whp).

Welcome to the club and let the tuning begin.

Later, Steve

 

My wife and I were laughing last Sunday when talking about my car addiction. This 911 makes #52. At least I was laughing

19 RX7's (6-1st gen, 3-2nd gen, 10-3rd gen...including one 3 rotor 625whp)
4 Supra's (94,95,97 and 98) (842whp was the highest)
2 NSXs (91, 93)(386whp was the highest)
2 MR2's
3 Mercedes (SLK230, CLK430AMG, CLS55AMG)
5 Lexus (SC300, GS300, GS400, 2-IS250's)
1 99 C5 convertible corvette
1 Boxster
1 Celica
1 Lincoln Aviator
1 H2
2 Jeeps
5 Tahoes
3 Trucks (including my current 2015 F150 daily driver)
And my 1st car $350 Datsun 310 GX (with a sunroof)


My wife must really love me....

 

I've had my share, but that is truly an addiction.

 

LOL...
On the way home realized I left off 2 vehicles...
07 Toyota FJ Cruiser and the 04 Infinity G35 Coupe...

 

Congrats, gotta love another seal gray over black. I did exhaust, tune, sway bars, shifter, wheels, and some maintenance and couldn't be happier. What a fun car to drive!

 

Buying the AWE exhaust tonight...close to pulling the trigger on IPD Plenum, Cobb tuner, Intake and coilovers...still doing a little research...

Changes are about to start...

 

Totally off topic but I need to meet you - I'm only a few miles away in Bridlewood and have the same incurable affliction as you.
