Hi guys, just registered and my first foray into 911 Ownership. My name is Pete, I live in Northern Ireland and I own my own detailing business. I always said I wanted to own a 911 by the time I was 30 and at 29, I have finally achieved it :)

I have previously owned a Cayenne and currently also own an early 944 that I am restoring.

I am usually a big BMW fantatic, having owned countless of the marque and currently still own a 94 520i wit a host of period m5 goodies and an 04 M3 Convertible.

So to the 911!

Its a 98 Carrera 2 with quite and extensive list of factory options, some of which are still being pointed out to me.

Its a factory Aero kitted car with GT3 wheels, ithas the MO30 suspension package, factory sports exhaust, LSD and active brake differential, sports seats, factory Nav, headlamp washers, trip computer and a sunroof :)

The car benefits from a full rebuild by Hartech 8,000 miles ago ans is in generally great condition.

I have a small parking dent to remove and I am going to completely refurbish the leather interior.

Thats enough chat, here are some pics :)

Great looking car with nice specification.

Welcome to the forum.
 
Nice car looks great with the aerokit and alloys, and with a rebuilt engine you should have trouble free fun with it. :thumb: and I personally like dark alloys on blue 911s and those look like anthracite with a silver rim is a nice touch.I also like that the 996 aero came with side rockers which the 997 didn't.
 
Beautiful looking motor and with a Hartech rebuild!!

Do you know what Hartech have actually done to it (upgraded any parts, etc?).

One more word - Amberectomy :lol:
 
Absolute beauty of a car, even nicer in the flesh.

Fancy that run up the coast?
 
Nice car it looks great... well done getting one with a Hartec rebuild :thumbs:
 
:welcome:

Whataboutye? Great looking car and nice spec. Look forward to hearing more from you chaps over there :thumb:
 
Welcome Pete and congrats on the new purchase. Cobalt is one of my faves on watercooled 911's... 8)

Any details on the e34 as I too have a few of these. Currently a 540i/6, 535i/5 and a 525i/5 Touring that's just about to get an M3 motor transplant. ;)

That looks awesome! Exactly what I'd love to buy! Perfect.

Not sure on plate though! Lol

Pics of interior?
 
Love it, looks great.

Defo going to get a GT3 kit for mine over the next month or two. :thumb:
 
Looks great, welcome to the forum :thumbs:

Thanks guys, I'm slowly getting used to the car, its very different to the M3's I'm used too (considerably slower lol) but I'm starting to get a feel for the car now.

Hartech put the uprated IMS in etc, the bill was north of 7grand so I'm glad it has been done already!

I've attached a photo of my e34. Its only a 520i but I love it in calypso red. It has a genuine m5 kit, m5 interior and genuine parallels. Good looking big thing for a daily smoker. It has well over 200k on it now too and it runs like a clock

Bonus re the Hartech IMS upgrade.

Calypso is a great colour on the e34. Keep up the good work. 8)
