Not a faster car, but a better car

Performing the throttle body reseal on both my 944 and 951 was time and money well spent in terms of improving drivability. And considering the kit is so cheap and you can perform the reseal within a couple of hours, it's almost a no-brainer. Bruce Arnn provides great instructions with the Arnnworx kit.

If you have an early car, replace the crappy parking brake with a late 944 parking brake. Much more solid. Bolt in replacement, feels much nicer.

Seal replacment hint: Get a 16d construction nail, sharpen the end, bend the end 90 degrees (1/2" bend) and you now have an instant seal removal tool. Cheap and very effective.

Probably my favorite mod to my car was doing a decent round of sound deadening in the hatch area.
Also hatch seals.
Followed very closely to installing a decent sound system.

I knew I should have included a description of my wunder find
Yes, no drive into the sunset would be complete without these fine neck-pillows strapped to your headrests. Direct from the mysterious Orient there won't be any mystery as to where your neck comfort came from.
And for the complete experience be sure to grab a set of these knock-outs for the back seat. Farfegnugen? Meet fung shui.

I am glad to hear the Rogue Tuning kit is working out for all of you! Making me and my car jealous!
Since there are 4 different options, what route are you guys going with?
My next order consists of this:
-only944 hatch pin seats
-only 944 shifter
-only 944 matt vinyl center replacement, just broke through
- Throttle body reseal
Here might be an odd question...my rear view mirror fell off, do you guys recommend a non stock mirror or just get the the ~$20 replacement?

I talked to Joel and the pedal was custom made...You need to post pics of it, the 944 world needs to know of it....It's the best gas pedal I've ever had the privilege of mashing. Makes heel toe driving very easy and convenient. It's a must. You can barely roll your heel while braking and blip! Your rev is there. I need to make a repro.
Is it at all similar to the pedal with extensions offered on rennline?

I feel like the heel extension would make heel/toe a breeze.

It's not. I've had a lot of seat time in the car and have experienced zero adverse effects. The car was also a dedicated track car for years...all with no issues. It functions very well, granted its not machined from billet or anything, it does its job exceptionally. I guess you'd have to try it to appreciate it.
