My daughter and I drove it all day, what a sensory overload!
Considering some simple mods, what's the general consensus. I'd like to get it to the euro 330hp range.
1 bar spring?

1 bar spring, maybe a fabspeed exhaust, a good valve adjustment is all you need

Where does one acquire a 1 bar spring?

Surprisingly enough, you can buy them off of Amazon.com or summit racing...just a few. I just saw some Tial spring on their website...also saw some on Ebay...

In looking at the pictures that were on your selling dealers website, your car looks 100% stock. I would go with an aftermarket exhaust that eliminates your cat and really lets your motor breathe. Any emissions tests your way? If you have a Porsche shop do it, I would suggest they double check your AFR's and Timing while the car is there. Just in case! My 930 was very lean when I first bought it.

After that, the fun down the slippery slope starts!

QUOTE]If I am not mistaken the 330's also had the exhaust exiting on both sides. [/QUOTE]
Yes, that's true! plus a bigger intercooler and little more things that make the car very rare

Look at the difference from the standard engine! This is a original 930 S with Sportkit ab Werk
Good to see the exaust system

A Great and easy way to wake up the car and feel noticeable improvements all around. The 930 loves a less restrictive exhaust. PM me if anyone has any questions or needs anything.
thanks,

Protect the engine so get a better intercooler before or in conjunction with other mods. Look at the previous picture of the 330 euro motor and notice the difference in the intercooler. Fabspeed should have chimed in they make an excellent one. That would be my starting place.

Fabspeed doesn't like me anymore.
I'll investigate other options, I guess.

Took no time at all to go from "...This baby is going to stay stone cold stock, like an 80s time capsule...." to "...considering some simple mods..."

...and so it starts! LOL

I did make one dumb mistake, when I picked it up I drove it about a mile before realizing the e brake was still engaged. Smelled a little funny, but everything seems to work (stop) ok.
