Default I love my car!!!!

So happy with the car lately. It just amazes me how solid and reliable (knock on wood) a 16 year old porsche can be. It always starts, idles perfect, brakes and handles well and looks so damn good doing it. Just had Chris Walrod control arm bushings installed with a good street alignment and it transformed the car. It used to dance around quite a bit on uneven, bumpy roads however it now tracks straight with zero vibration or bump steer. Such a lovely machine!!!!!



Enjoy your wonderful cars everyone!!!

Thanks! The car sits nicely thats for sure. Cars not perfect as it has quite a few rock chips on the front (damn Calgary roads!!!) but shines up nice!

I love your car too.
Of course it helps being black, not only does it look better, but it also has the black horsepower advantage.

Beautiful 993! How many km's are on it and how bad were the original bushings?

Thinking about getting the Walrod bushings too before going in for an alignment, just seems like a logical item esp with all the positive reviews here. Mind dances around a bit too etc on uneven surfaces, just wasn't sure if maybe this was from an old alignment done 3 years ago from previous owner.

Car looks great. Alignment and suspension upgrades transformative for sure.

Next time I'm in Calgary I'll have to look you up! Car looks great and I can attest to the love...driving mine to work tomorrow.

I'm also planning on doing the Walrod bushings when I lower mine.
