Traded my 996 turbo for a... 996 turbo

I just needed to have a clutch... I traded my 77k miles tiptronic 2001 Black Metallic 911 turbo for a 57k miles 6-speed 2002 Guards Red 911 turbo. I got it for $10k over trade. The red one came with a Tubi exhaust and a mystery chip (I'm boosting to atleast 1.0 bar). I also pulled the EVOMS diverter valves from my old car.

If anyone knows of a way to identify the chip I would appreciate it. Some pics from my first photoshoot...















I should have listened to the old man who told me not to feed it after midnight...

Not totally sure... I'll have to look up the paint code. I had a Rainforest Green Metallic Boxster with the same color interior I think.

$10k... pretty fair I think. Dealership actually didn't know it had a chip or exhaust until I told them.

Nice job man! I went from a 01' to an '03. Did you notice a difference between the two different years?

You know.. I don't think I've ever seen a red in person. Congrats btw

No other pics... I actually saw it in a parking lot and didn't get to meet the owner.

Well, I'm telling people that I traded from an '01 to an '02 to get cup holders. My old one had Sat Nav but this one has a Bose sound system with subs in the back which sounds much better. This one also has the sports seats. The '02 also gives me a useless glovebox.
This one has significantly more power but I attribute that more to the chip and exhaust and less to the year or transmission. My old Turbo beat a Gallardo in a drag race and this one makes my old car feel slow. haha
