M,
Yep - I had an original X-pack RS2000 - with the tennis racket recaros - Wish I still had it 
Also had a mexico - I rolled that one
Signs of a mispent youth
Often hankered to get a cossie over here - wondered if anyone would notice if I registered it as a Merkur XR4ti

oh she runs, just not 100%. moved it to a barn for temp storage the other day. my folks were getting a little annoyed with the fixture. not to mention the other 4 Rovers i have at any given time and place.
the SD1 in the UK came with the Euro lens. (one large lamp with halogen bulb)
someone on Ebay had them for sale and they are drop in units. i thought about it, but then i kinda liked the way this one looks.
the car rides really nice and feels good overall. just a little short for me being 6'-3".
the shit brown color (interior too!) is a little much for me. will have to be repainted at some point.
but having a hard time find a used distributor for it. putting in a new coil today to elimate that as a possible problem with the rough running.
this SD1 is a little more rare as it is a 5 speed. and according to the SD1 folks they did not import those to the USA. only Canada which is where this car came from. all in kilometers as well.
i actually found the original owner in Canada as well.

fortunately? come on....be honest......how many gay dudes have hit on you since you bought that car?
not including me.
lol i need to add a few cars to keep up.
01 D2
01 RR
a dozen bicycles
and hopefully a GT3 soon to come. (my idea of a economy car)
As far as the ricers when they start talking about how fast there cars r i just ask them how fast they can go with my D2 parked on top of them and they shut up.
only came close once though. I was on a 1 lane road and one came along hogging the road and wanted me to move after a few minutes i started lining up to drive over him and he got out of my way pretty quick.

Is yours a twin turbo? Or were all 993's twin turbos? I'm not sure as I'm not that knowledgable about Porsche or spelling for that matter..
The 993 production run was from MY 1995-1998.
Here is a good link to 993 history:
http://www.flat-6.net/forum/showcargroup.php?do=model&cat=12
They made many different models, but the 993 Turbo was top of the line and then the limited run 993 Turbo S (monster), of which they made 181 units.
Mine is the lowly 993 Carrera, regular normally aspirated RWD model. With the right modifications, it's a very fun car to drive, but not easily driven fast. I would venture to say that 90% of 993 owners never drive their cars over 6/10th's.
