Hey all!

I'm an Australian who moved to Canada 6 years ago and just never got around to buying a car (Don't need it in downtown Montreal) recently got an offer too good to refuse to buy a 2000 986 with 58k miles, 2 previous owners. Last owner had a bad knee and didn't drive it anymore.

I've had quite a few fast turbo nissans in the past, and used to compete in some drifting competitions in Aus but I gotta tell ya the feeling of driving around with the top down on a nice summers day, and that engine sound at 5k even with a stock exhaust had me as happy as I've ever been in a car.

excuse how dirty the car is, it's being detailed at the moment, I was just excited to post.

Think I'll only change suspension, wheels , headunit and enjoy the car as is.

Looking forward to chatting and learning from peeps on the forum!

(sunglasses not mine, had been in the car 20 years

Good on ya mate, read as much as you can on this forum, Lot's to learn, recommend you change oil & filter A.S.A.P., after oil is drained, remove the oil sump plate & inspect inside.
