Default Introducing my new turbo.

It was a pretty frustrating 2+ year search.... Arena red with black interior is not easy to find. I considered just giving up & buying other colors that came up for sale, though I'm happy to say that the excruciating patience paid off.

The car was picked up in CO last Sunday by Pilot Transportation (highly recommended), positioned top front of the enclosed trailer (where it stayed) & delivered on Wednesday afternoon.

Already made a few changes - wheels (of course), steering wheel & shifter (have the matching hand brake too), ditched most of the clear bra... I have a few more upgrades planned as soon as time allows including a euro front bumper, 993 sport seats, rear seat delete, techart ducts/fogs & changing the color of the calipers...

It's a very strong running car having just had a full top end and transmission rebuild & sounds great with the Fabspeed bypass pipes!

Here are a few pics snapped this morning after the cars & coffee run:








I'm looking forward to enjoying it this summer & not spending so much damn time hunting for it!

Nick, incredible car, congrats!! The wheels are absolutely next level on this colour!

I say add a set of Chris Walrod rings to your list of upgrades! Can't wait to see more pics of your progress!

Very nice. Arena red is a beautiful color. What color are you changing the calipers to?

Great color. When are you going to get it cleaned up? The wheels really are terrific.
