Long time reader, first time poster

I picked up a 996tt a few months ago and I have been reading 6speed ever since. This site is addictive. There is so much amazing information here. It has been interesting reading posts dating back to 2003 and comparing them to more recent posts. Modifying these cars has evolved so much over the years. Back in 2003, 2004 and 2005, people approached these cars very differently than they do today. I guess its a learning curve similar to the Supra world. Its amazing how much more is known today about 996tts. I consider myself lucky to be coming into this world after many others have already done the heavy lifting, made their mistakes, and blazed new paths for these cars. I don't have to navigate uncharted waters like people were doing in the early years. Instead, I can follow the successful paths developed by others.

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself. I have really enjoyed reading the huge archive of posts and I hope to contribute as I delve into my car.

Welcome. I too have been watching for some time and it is great to try and add to the forum as a whole since I have been registered. You have made a great point about others blazing trails for us, it is almost a renaissance time for the 996TT and its various mods. I too will be taking the mod plunge soon and look forward to much advice and help from the board.

Congratulations and welcome. Could you please post some pics of your p-car.

The wealth of info/experience on this board is amazing and has given me a lot of insight in the direction I would like to take my car in, mod wise.
