Yet Another New Turbo Owner...

Picked up this blue on blue (Midnight and Metropol) 2001 Turbo with about 36kmi. a few weeks ago up in NorCal. This place is freakin' awesome...Looking forward to hopefully meeting some of you guys. Oh and yes, more mods coming but I'm taking care of some basic maintenance stuff first

Congrats I am a new owner as well. Step up from a 02 C4S. Though all the mods are all ready done for me.

I love the rear wing though. So that will be something to do.

Very nice... it seems that these are trading places like they are going out of style. Congratz.

LOL I thought the same thing when I first saw the classified ad, then I saw it in person...fell in love with it! Plus it's functional/adjustable!

Thanks for the comments guys!

Btw does anyone know if the side marker lights can be programmed via PST2 to blink? I tried running a search and only found info on splicing up the wiring and PIWIS for the 997...

Thank you!

As for the drop...Not quite sure without getting the car up in the air; the previous owner mentioned .8"-1" all around - so I'm assuming that (he also mentioned it can go lower)?

However, I do know I have to enter and exit sideways at all driveways and speed bumps or else that front lip will scrape like no other.

Oh and hey! Did you ever find that Speed Yellow Turbo? As you can tell, I gave up on my search and settled lol.

HaHa! I also settled,for the beautiful redhead that is my avatar- pristine,and with only 8500 on the clock. I've been contemplating a set of KW's,but being in Michigan would be a gamble,as the roads looked like they have been shelled:{

Enjoy yor ride!
