I went that route several times, only to wind up using a Wheelskins replacement boot over the original ****. The Porsche shift lever is flat, and all of the round replacements make noises when installed, even using an adaptor.

The Wheelskins boot is BETTER quality than any of the AGLA or others, IMHO!

i just ordered a short shift kit from www.eagleday.com. hopefully it works out. and i also ordered a throttle cam. not sure if really does anything. if anyone has installed one, let me know

I made the mistake of re-covering mine when I got the car because the dye was worn off the boot a little. Re-covered ***** aren't smooth and shiny like original. I was lucky enough to find a very nice one on ebay for $40 (I saw a nice one go for $150!) I'm going to order a Leatherique kit and see if I can make it like new.

I've got a throttle cam from Weltmiester. It basically takes all the cushion out of the accelerator so the car feels a bit snappier. The long arm on the stock cam makes the throttle pretty soft for the 1st 60% or so & then opens the throttle body full tilt when you depress the peddle past that. The Weltmiester unit is just a circle with no arm so it opens the throttle body at smaller incriments of depression on the accelerator.

For my money, it was a good purchase. The car feels a bit zippier even tho there wasn't really any HP gain. $25 bucks is worth the extra response.

Hope this helps

Throttle cam replacement on my former NA was the best $20 I spent! Made it respond like I changed the engine! Well worth it.

I would disagree. I like the Agla better than Wheelskins. Agla leather is a lot softer.
