I was looking at that 930 also. You must have just picked her up from Global.
It is a very clean 930 from Global's pics....
Just curious, does it have the yellow painted calipers?
Congrats and enjoy!!!

You are correct, Dave. Talked to the owner too, got some nice paperwork of what's been done to it. Really good guy. And he did have the calipers powder coated yellow. Looks real good against the Ruf (I believe) wheels.

Bobby,
Use the fuel enrichment control to avoid lean conditions under load. The different settings are for determining which setting best provides enrichment of the fuel mixture for your particular car. If you hear engine knock under load (detonation) you need more fuel. To adjust boost levels, you need an electronic boost adjust. Imagine Auto put an HKS unit in mine at rebuild and I'm happy with it. But, I have a bigger IC so more boost is still safe.
BTW, lower that puppy about an inch and a half, have it corner balanced and you'll have one sweet (er) ride. Enjoy it.

B&B headers
B&B dual exhaust w/ what must be 4" single tips
Removed cat
K-27 Highflow
Andial fuel enrichment system (Haven't really messed with it, has stayed at 0.8 bar)
The thing pulls hard as hell and boost starts coming on at about 3K. The catless system failed emissions so am going to have to register at my parents probably. Only one year left of pre-OBDII testing in St. Louis thankfully. This is going to be one fun weekend car.

Thanks for the info, Ken. I'm going to leave the fuel enrichment system alone until I get some dyno time. I would definitely like to lower it a bit. And the suspension seems a bit bouncy at times on the highway, at least compared to my M3. Maybe the shocks/struts are a little old. I'm not sure that they've been changed out in the car's 64,000 miles. I'm not sure how long the stock ones are suppose to last.

Bobby B, not 64,000 miles that's for sure. Especially in the rear where they absorb all of that heat. I replaced my original green Bilsteins at 61,000 and they were able to be pumped by hand. The new Bilsteins that went back in there place I had to use a bottle jack on to collapse enough to get the bolt holes lined up. Made a huge difference in the car's ride and feel. I'm doing the front's next. WHere in St. Louis are you? I go to St. Charles a lot on business. Congrats on the new acquisition and may you both have many happy miles together.
