a 993 is for life ....

She went in for a £350 rusty windscreen frame job, but ended up having a total repaint

oh, and those pesky headlight washers were filled in too

A 993 is for life




























Strangely softer and more composed now she is on all RS bushings, RS monoballs and rear solid subframe mounts.

Looks better than a 991 from the outside IMO

Without a doubt! I saw my first 991 today it may be a grower but I really didn't like it one bit. Far too many badges for a start.

Absolutely stunning Jackal.

Stunning!

...and this is why I hate talking to you and reading your posts!!!

Who did the work for you- ( for future reference and not for this year honest!!)

[fastgerman]

HOT!

[GT Two]

Everything about your 993 is so right.

[marky911]

Perfection!

Spot on in every way that car.

[OllieW]

That is just perfect, still a stunning shape

Your car looks awesome but the 993 is the most overrated car I have owned. I loved looking at iit but hated driving it so a car for life it was not.

[MrDarkBlack]

Not a bad job for £350!

Looks lovely!

What didn't you like about the way it drove and do you prefer a different 911 version?

That's a very common complaint from previous S owners. I wish I had a tenner for everytime I'd heard the same sentiments.

The C4S has all the extra weight and girth of the more GT like Turbo yet none of its extra power but at the same time, the same power as the standard car yet none of its agility, nimbleness and feel. They are all very different cars IME.

Stunning!!!

Went out to play with a 993 Turbo S last week, that was yellow too.

It looked fantastic in the rear view mirror but not this good, nice work.

That pretty much covers it. Loved the noise hated the steering and it didn't inspire any confidence when pressing on. It was a dream realised when I bought it but it failed to live up to that dream. With a bag of hindsight I wish I bought a 2wd car but the myth that I would die going backwards though a fence/wall was enough to scare me into a C4S.
