I know I asked awhile back about performance upgrades but now I have the car. It has 65k miles and everything is stock. Kevin Wheeler of KMW Motorsports in Boca Raton, Florida will do the work. What would you do with $8-12k to spend? thanks

suspension - wheels and tires -

plenty of ideas here: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...et-thread.html

 

that looks clean.... +1 on suspension/tires... new bushings, struts, shocks, turbo tire rods, bump steer kits.... etc. Use the search, plenty info on the subject.

 

WOW - nice car

I would get a steering wheel, a shifter & coupler upgrade, bigger T-bars, bushings F&R, Shocks, corner balanced/ride height adjust, Big Reds, SW chip, and spend the rest on track fees, maybe a second set of wheels and tires

 

Damn Ed, you trying to scare the guy off....

 

I like what everyone else said. Leave the engine alone (Porsche knew what they were doing when they built it) and focus on suspension, tires, brakes, etc.

 

scare him like you got scared.....best thing that ever happened HUH!!
you getting any drive time in the Targa?
loving the new stuff you did to it?

The only sensible post about so-called 'performance' improvement.
And then take a DE class.

 

Suspension upgrades. Be careful how stiff you go, however, as that beautiful Cab of yours will begin to shake and rattle a bit more than you'd probably find acceptable.

 

I would put a nice roll bar in it as well and go do a DE with it. I perfer Cabs with rollbars honestly if they are don't nicely.

 

not all regions allow cabs in DE's - check first and check other clubs

 

Really, even with a roll bar? That is to bad! Well, you are welcome in NCR anytime and best part is you live in Maine so you have no excuse!

 

Wow, I wanted to change out the motor for that 500hp 944 turbo motor!

 

How do you add a picture into your name field?....now that I have a reason to!

yea, Jay. the bimmer club CDI in my area was involved in a rollover incident a few years ago. The car was upside down in a ditch and water was running thru the car. He was fine but the student went pretty mental over the deal (with the water...scared) - I thought it was a freak incident and no different then a coupe with the windows down but he made a rule right then and there...no cabs on DE's PERIOD...I am pretty sure they allow then in the PCA as I see Boxsters often -
