I am not sure if any thing I have done to mine would be called mods, it uses mostly stock Porsche parts, with a couple of exceptions.

But there has been a bunch of stuff changed.

About the only non Porsche parts on mine are the hidden radar detector/jammer, cast hole rotors, MLS head gaskets, and superbearings.

Mine is about right enough now to start doing some mods.

Thanks, but I was hoping for a pic with the car. These were the oem wheels on my first Esprit. I really liked them vs. the other Esprit wheels from that era. I've seen Porsche fitment versions on Ebay, but wondered how they would look on a 928.

- S4 wishbones / carriers
- S4 brakes
- Adjustable Konis and 600/400 Hypercoil springs
- Paul Champagne alcantara shifter
- custom 2.25" Y Pipe and 3" exhaust system
- IJ crank scraper and windage kit
- nylon steering rack bushes (when I install them)
- euro S2 engine

Looks stock, goes like stink.
