Done Lurking (pics)

Been reading this forum for the past 8 months. Finally got my first Porsche a year and a half ago. 1987 3.2 Carrerra Coupe - no tail.

Very nice all around. Glad you're not just lurking anymore.

Almost my car exactly down to the tinted windows and the sun roof. I don't have a Turbo wheel (that is a Turbo, right?), though. Looks good.

Thanks, Milt - Yes on the turbo wheel. We're heading out for a tour of Lake Superior in 2 weeks - traveling from Duluth across WI & the UP and around in to Canada - any suggestions on some fun places to go?

Nice, clean version of a Carrera. I like the dual out exhaust. The whole car looks well proportioned. Welcome to Pelican!

Welcome to the forum!

Very nice, particularly without the rear wing.

+1!

Have'nt seen that one around yet, although I know where the shots were taken.

I picked up a sc decklid so I can change tails. Just need to paint it, install my bushings, revalve the bilstiens ect...... I will be ready next year!

p.s. did you just pick up your wheels "fuchs" recently? Who aligned your car? That is the stance I am going for. Here it is before I started taking it apart.

Welcome. Nice looking car!

I am in Edina. We should figure out a time to get a Twin Cities Pelican meeitng setup.

Also curious where to get alignments done. I will probably be dropping my ride hight from the on stilts look this winter.

Alignment in Minnesota

Guys, take your car to "Nurburgring", they are in St. Bonifacius. Talk to Justin or Rick. Porsche repair service for many years, street, track or race setups. First class facility and service. ph. 952-446-8185
(Rick says that with Justin they have expanded service to include 993, 996 and boxsters, too)

Take a look at my 1967 911S engine Rick is rebuilding. With all the parts cleaned and layed out it's a thing of beauty.

Welcome to the group!

Bob

The fuchs wheels were on the car when I bought it, same with the ride height/allignment.
I picked this car up in Phoenix in May of 2006, the car was set up as pictured when I drove it home. (FUN test drive)
I look forward to seeing you in the area next year.

I think a Twin City meeting would be great, I'm in!

No help on the alignment, my car was as is when I bought it last year. Fleming mentioned Nurburgring in St. Bonnie, I have had a few things repaired/ maintained in Chanhassen at Jeppesen Imports 952 934-5511
