Nice beetle!

Just kidding, that's a damn good looking Porsche, while I'm not a huge Porsche fan I might sell a kidney for a 993 turbo in Arena Red

These are my two favorite Porsches - early 911 Carrera RS and early 930 Turbo.

You know your stuff. I'm not a fan of the wheels or the rear gt3 spoiler but struck gold with the gt3 front and sport exhaust

PORSCHE tech for 5 plus years, you will grow to love the wing, do some champion springs and it will sit just right. sport exhaust is good, there are better options. dont waste your money with tuning it or any dumbass intakes/they dont help just hurt. if the clutch pedal starts to get higher and harder to push in thats an early sign of needing a clutch. make sure plugs get done on it(age), not hard just a couple of covers have to come out of the way and possibly lower the rear of the engine down and mufflers might have to come out (if your hands are to big like mine). watch the cup holders, stupid expensive to replace just not worth using. thats just off the top of my head shit

Thanks for the heads up. The car just had rear main seal and ims seal done. Clutch was healthy when they went in there. I'm planning on changing the plus with the next oil service. It's got a tubistyle car back. I have a catless x pipe for it but I'm not going to use it.
H and r springs and some Roderick rw6 Wheels will come very soon but beyond that all I'm doing is fixing the shifter looseness and enjoying the car.

I'll look it up. I painted the spoiler flat black. Looks perfect now except I scrape everything and it's not even lowered lol

I have a contingency fund. God forbid something happens.

yep that chin will drag a bunch and you will end up going thru a few of them. tip on shifting- power shifting is not a good thing, the shifter cables can snap and they arent cheap or easy to replace. good to hear the normal things have gotten replaced.

I have been reading some horror stories on guys snapping their cables on rennlist... ironically around the mileage my car has lol.

i installed that catless x pipe. holy loudness. i like it but its so loud i am very
self conscious driving above 4k.

Well I know that I am late to the party here, but congrats on the new ride Marcel. Like a few other guys have said, I don't know a lot about Porsches, except that I'll never be able to afford one (a well-used Boxster maybe LOL), but that is a gorgeous ride you have there. Enjoy!

#blessed

Sorry to go backwards in this thread, but I'd need a 5mm spacer to clear brembos? Also I didn't see offset specs on the Unleashed Wheels site. :/

For what wheels. The red wheels needed 5mm to clear the non brembo calipers
