My 993 goes into JZ Machtech tomorrow for what is the start of yet another slippery slope into modifying.

Starting off with:

Roock springs and dampers
Realignment
ECU remap
Roock strut brace
RS engine mounts

On the shopping list:

RSR mufflers (on Gerts list)
Big reds and braided hoses
Might change my wheels when the tyres need changing.

Will also need a new wife (when she finds out).

Lol you haven't told your wife....ouch. LEAVE YOUR WHEELS ALONE!

So+2 or 3 hp and better handling? What will RS engine mounts do?

Noony

Do you like my alloys then?

RS mounts should help the shifting and also reduce engine movement when cornering hard, standard ones must need replacing soon anyway! Will also increase engine noise (993 is far to quiet).

Yeah, if you get any others it won't look like an RS will it you *EDIT*silly billy*EDIT*. Stark lines of MY02 5 spoke don't suit curves of 993 IMO, although the ones on the arena red C4 looked nice :?
...well I dunno.

Don't ever buy a 996 then!

What is all the fury over the wheels about, Noony. Somewhat harsh language. :eek:

Don't make me moderate your posts....!!!! :wink:

PILLOCK?

No, silly billy. Handbrakes are intelligent beings? :wink:

Yeah she may be? but she never goes in my car so she wont notice the better handling or the extra responsiveness of the engine, mind you she did spot the RS mounts hiding in an M&S carrier bag in the garage!

Well I haven't a clue what engine mounts look like or anything so...I would say it's best to tell her everything. What's she gonna think when you haven't paid off that loan or whatever? :wink:
Or take her in the car and show her how much good it has done :wink:

Noony,

She will never know! If I bought a 993 turbo or a GT3 she might, but £3k on mods never

I reckon if you got one in black she wouldn't. Could just tell her it's new wheels and bodykit(and possibly interior). She might notice the £40-80k hole in the bank account though!

Noony,

I am getting worried, you must know my missus? Have you got a milk round? :wink:

Migration info. Legacy thread was 7965
 
Nope, put an advert out for a new handbrake and somebody sent us her?? :wink:
. Nah, all women are like that aren't they? Apart from the porsche enthusiast ones of course.
