Pulled the trigger...

Well, after almost 2 months of searching and vacillating on which car to replace my 1997 Porsche Turbo S with, I've decided, this is the one. Have not actually physically seen the car, but I'm told by the guys at Evosport, it's perfect. Currently, 914 miles.

It will remain at Evosport for the first round of Mods. Looking forward actually driving it and thinking about some other Mods down the road the guys at Evosport have available, especially the Headers and ECU set up.

Here are some pictures, I'll post more of the mods as soon as I received the car. Bob over at Evosport has been a huge asset to me in helping decide on the CLK BS as well as finding for some hard to find materials for the Mods.

Congrats and welcome. You're gonna love driving the beast. You don't want to drive it stock for comparison sake or have you already driven one in stock form? Great cars! Have fun.

Congrats Todd, you'll love it, hope it treats you well.

What in the world does that cryptic language above mean?

Dontexistium is a hard to find material, I hope you're not looking for that!

Thanks all, just looking forward to actually seeing and diving my car in person. To date, I have not yet physically seen or driving it. The guys' at Evosport have been great with detailed pictures and a thorough inspection. Given that it only has 914 miles, it must be very close to show room condition. I have driving a stock CLKBS at Fletcher Jones Fremont, currently, with the mods I'm completing, it will still drive like stock (all interior mods), however, the previous owner had the Evosport spacers and springs changed, which also lowered the car.

Can't wait to see it in person, will report back and post interior pictures of the mods.

Thanks again.

LZH, I actually sold my TTS last month, had 11,041 miles on it and already missing it.
Todd

Mods??

I hope you keep all the original parts (and leave the internals alone), otherwise (imo) you are going to spoil a "future" classic.

Frankster, yes, bought it down south from a private owner. Great guy, transaction when smoothly. Wasn't a fire sale, he needed to sell to make room for his new addition, a F50 to go along with his F40!

Flickleone, yes, I will keep the original parts, although I will not keep the SS core replacements, CB will take the place of the SS trim
