1995 JDM Porsche 993

Standard Jap spec' rear seats - I don't believe that any other markets had them.

Got the new tyres fitted today, only waited as they were not in stock. Fitter said he thought the tyres on it were about 14 years old
Went with Falken FK510 which I know will be a bit controversial, bought new nuts from OPC which was just as well as the old ones were very corroded and wouldn't have all gone back on.
Car already feels so much better.

Ive got them on one of my sets and no complaints, even worked well on a trackday. Nice to see all the little JDM touches.

Thought I'd have a go at removing some of the old aftermarket electronics.
What a faff!
The car seems to have had several aftermarket gadgets fitted including a toll collection system.
I wasn't that confident about removing some of it so have stripped back what I can and will probably get an auto electrician to remove what's left and install the CR11 that's inbound.
I've attached some pictures, I'm pretty pleased that a couple of bits that were stuck to the dashboard have come off without damaging it so it wasn't a wasted afternoon.

A couple of new bits arrived, cassette holder and CR-11

Its crazy that the smallest of people (no offence meant) get the widest more comfy version of the rear seat base.

I do find it strange that Japan gets different seats to the rest of the world.

Another bit of kit arrived today, now hopefully the correct tyre inflator!

Borrowed some radio removal tools today and pulled the old Sony head unit out. Unfortunately the original Becker connection isn't there, any ideas what I can do to install the CR-11?
Is there a simple connector I can buy?

Managed to get the correct jack thanks to a member here :thumb:

Got the CR-11 in and wired up, very pleased with it.

Poking around in the engine bay and found this sticker, need to do some more research.

Not the best picture but managed to clean up the engine a bit.
