Just picked up today, a couple of issues, but it was bought right. PDCC, bi-xenon, and a couple other bits. 92k miles yes, but sold and serviced at the same Pcar dealer(N Olmsted Ohio) Enjoyed the 6 hour drive home, everything works...wow does this thing need a 7th gear for Highway. Talk about always being in the power band! A few odds and ends to correct, and a few extra bits to get to make it to my liking.

Lowering links incoming, summer tires found, still need a winter wheelset, winter mats, some kinda exhaust-Sebring responded to my enquiry, and a desperate education on these beasts.

I will be leaning on this forum, and that on rennlist...heavily to assist here.

That is my trade on the left...won’t miss it a bit.

regarding the exhaust, I would like more growl, and additional HP gain would naturally be a welcome thing. The Sebring tuning stainless cans are less than $400 a pair, claimed 15hp IIRC...but I need more idea about mounting/fittment before I consider that.

Two things on the short mechanical list;
-change thermostat, it’s stuck open
-fix the slight exhaust leak in the intermediate pipe, before it gets worse. Will get both sides welded up at the same time.

The previous owner was absolutely clinical with any/all maintenance. I got copies of most records since 10/14, need to see what is left. Porsche of N Olmsted has been remarkably helpful with the service they performed on the vehicle. Thankfully, in the short term...there isn’t a lot I need to catch up on maintenance wise. Major snow storm here in Central New York today, and I have been enjoying playing with the PSM in the snow. Really, REALLY enjoy the rear bias.

Took the opportunity to have my 17 yo daughter practice a little drifting, and some donuts in a near by parking lot. She really likes the GTS. She hated my last two manual DD’s, and rarely drove them. She is way too nervous still, to drive the 993. Hopefully, the GTS will build up her confidence enough.

Thnaks for the heads up on the SSK from Vividracing.

Followed up with Vividracing...SSK doesn’t fit the GTS.

Right bank pre cat flex pipe section replaced today, High pressure fuel pump, and spark plugs...last changed at 57k according to the service records. Thermostat left alone for the time being, as the code hasn’t shown back up since cleared almost 2 weeks ago.

Way too quiet now...Hanksville resonated secondary pipe here I come.

Cooling system malfunction...back in for the t-stat.

Enjoying the GTS, still laying off the throttle a little, as the rear winters are kinda thin. Looking forward to summer rubber, and really laying into it for grins and giggles.

Lowering links, and resonated cat by-pass pipes going on soon. Next up is headlight cleaning/sealing, and D1S low beam upgraded bulbs(Phillips Extreme 2.0’s) and LED’s for the supplemental high beams, maybe fogs too.

Still sifting thru the manual, trying to adjust stuff. Can’t seem to find out how to enable all the interior buttons- door/window, controls,etc to illuminate when unlocking. Gotta be possible

Just be careful with cold starts. I am in Canada, love the vehicle in the winter but last week my engine was sounding like a diesel. Probably cylinder scoring... great SUVs until they go cabumm!

Anyone else have a 957 in a 6mt for sale? Found one in Canada but don’t want to deal with importing one if it’s available stateside
