To set the rumors straight - he is now in a Porsche 993. I'm not entirely sure the exact model, but judging by the wing that's on it I'd guess it's the Turbo. It's as clean as you would expect him to build the car. BBS wheels, Euro spec turn signals, and 993 Carrera RS bucket seats. I'm sure there's a mountain of other details and mods, but that's what the eye can immediately see.
He doesn't update his blog very often, but that's where I was able to find the latest.

Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd contribute as I am the guy who took over ownership of the car from Wiseguy a few years back. Drove it from NJ to Cali over one weekend after I purchased it from him those many years back. I knew i had to have it as soon he posted it up for sale
Just to update, the car is still as it is when i first picked it up from WG from the eastcoast. Nothing parted out and nothing drastic was done. I did take it to Evasive within the first month to replace some of the older worn parts on the car (J's front and rear camber joints and some bushings mostly) but kept the same parts as he had when i purchased it. Let me tell you though, replacing J's racing parts was not easy on the bank :P But overall, he did an amazing job of keeping the car fresh and in minty condition.
I also added a few things (read few) without taking away from the overall theme of the car. I added black honda premium mats, re-cleared the mugen hardtop with PPG clearcoat, installed an ASM CF rear lip spoiler and purchased a new Mugen 3 steering wheel (the old one was a bit matted from use). That's just a few things my wallet could handle at the time haha.
The S sits in my garage most of the time as I have two kids and only have time for it on certain weekends. My wish is to give it a little more attention and love when i perhaps move into a home out in the suburbs. Or who knows, maybe sell it to the next guy who will love it as much as the first owner and I do.
When i find the time, I will upload some pics but just thought I'd update the S community as to its whereabouts.
