Hello all! I just wanted to make my first post and introduce myself. I have been a long time reader of 6speed, but never joined... why... I am still figuring it out.

Here is a couple of pictures of my baby. I hope you enjoy and I look forward to picking some of your brains about the beauty of a 996!

Cheers!

Thank you everyone! I am glad to be apart of the 6

Here is a little more info about my baby:
02 C2 - Arctic Silver, Black Interior
66k miles
GT3 Decklid, Wing and Side Skirts
Rims: F: 20x8.5, R: 20x10

I started with the look... Now I am going to start working on the performance portion. I plan to install a full exhaust, suspension, plenum and maybe flash the ecu (not sure about this one though). I have had her for a little over a year. I bought her as a birthday present to myself ) I am the second owner, clean title and only had 30k miles on it... As you can see...I have been driving her a lot... as it should be )


Cheers!

Very very nice.

If you plan on tracking might want to ditch the 20s. On a porsche, i am not a fan of 20s, 18s on my liking.

Welcome and great looking car. I love the 20's. Unless you have a miracle car, it will be tight fitting them when you do your suspension mods.

If you plan to track the car, you can always switch the wheels out, if the streets around you allow it, the 20s look perfect.

Thank you everyone!

The 20's are big, but fit nicely (stock suspension) I still have my 18's in the garage just in case I get bitten by the track bug )
