Ever since i owned the car it has been a track day car, so everything that has ever been done to it was to make it faster, handle better and stop quicker. I did over tome do alot of cleaning, tweeking etc, however the sole purpose was always to bring my lap times down and to compete with the newer cars...
Any time i cleaned it wasn't for the looks it was to make working on the car more pleasant, the looks were an added bonus. Clean underside and suspension make it easier to find issues and problems and makes form jobs like wheel alignments much easier.....
Here are a couple ofpics from some earlier mods, KW suspension and 993RS brakes. The shocks are KW Club Sports, i have run these for about 5 years and about 6000 miles. The RS brakes were done at the same time, i love the feeling of the hand of god coming down and slowing the car down.
Front KW's and brakes. Used stock 993tt rotors and Pagid Black pads. These pads are hard on rotors, however the grip and the ability to modulate is incredible. At this stage i was running Motul brake fluid, i did this for a couple of years and then moved over to Endless fluid. You can also see that is was cleanish, with some tire rub marks. This was from the PO, who ran the car super low with 255 front tires.
Proper RS calipers in the rear makes for a wonderful balance in all conditions...

Go before Show. Love it!
This thread makes my car faster by association since I'm sporting your old power steering pump. ;-)
Cleaning off the old cosmoline was a nasty job but was worth the effort..
This is how the steering rack and front suspension looked prior to cleaning..
Also looking at the side.
All the suspension ckeaned uo ready for install... Also shown are my 993 RS Uprights and GT2 tie rods. At this point i had changed from TT rotors to a set of slotted Giro Discs.
I've had the pleasure of being the passenger during a spirited ride on some lovely back roads here in Calgary. All I have too say is WOW!!!!! Steven did an absolutely amazing job building this beast! Made my car feel like a MK2 VW Jetta diesel!
I am cheap and about $120 of wood, screws and levelers is just the right price

fenders are rolled, just on passenger side.

those were 265/35's on the 10.5, it was too stretched.
