Default Finally Bought a Turbo..

After years of dreaming, searching, saving, finally had enough saved up (after selling a few other toys) to buy my first turbo! Some of you may know the car, purchased it from Tyro, thanks Jess! Car is in good shape, pretty fresh motor, few blunders with the paint but I bought it to drive not polish! Have alot to learn when it comes to the turbo's, all past experince is with N/A's but I am quick to learn. Future upgrades would be to move the guages from the cubby area to the pillar, maybe longterm goal M-Tune and a bigger turbo... one can dream! Car sure is a screamer as is!

Want to say thanks again to Jess (Tyro)! Awesome to deal with and accurately described the car to a T, as I bought and shipped it!

That was a good deal. I was going to look at it when I picked mine up in Minnesota. I loved the wheels on that car!

Thanks guys! Lot of hard work to get to this. Full time job, full time student, full time commuter, and part time co-op!

Bruce, still have an N/A... slowly becoming a track rat... but I can see how driving it now would lack the luster of the 951...

Been on the forum for about 5 years now, have kept relatively quite but am going to try to post and be more active over here.

You had better take it to the track at least once, Will. That's where it shines..

Glad you're enjoying it. I think I need to send the owner's manual too - I see it on my bookshelf!
