Ya I'm pretty psyched if it checks out. A bit scary since I've just come to trust the turbo that I have. A lot of the maintenance items I can take care of on my own. So that isn't a issue!!! It's the big stuff that I worry about. Mainly synchros and coolant pipes.
Either way if it does check out I'll have to buy. I just can't pass up the opportunity. Even though I've had second thoughts.

Anyway I'll keep you all in the loop

Yes seems to be the consensus that it's a good, reliable street worthy suspension set-up for sure! I've learned lots from our community to be honest. I've always wrenched on my cars. Had a handful of other water cooled Porsches, but there's a great level on knowledge on the forums especially for our turbo platform. It's saved me tons of headaches before and during the purchase of my car and my current ownership.

Awesome- hope it checks out! Lots of car for a relatively little amount of money. Throw your DIY ability in there and you have a great value.
