$1000 won playing poker. What to buy?!?
That's right, I just won a little under a grand playing poker with my friends (great friends to give me all that money, I know!) and I am looking over my Porsche To-Do list...
In no particular order -- my to-do list....
I guess I'm seeking advice.. my brain is telling me suspension upgrades first and to get the shocks/struts to replace my worn stock setup, but my heart is screaming more HP!!!
In no particular order -- my to-do list....
- Shocks / Struts (Koni Yellows)
- 3" Exhaust (Probably a zero-bling LR full exhaust)
- Anything I can get for $1000 from Vitesse to make me go faster!!
- New Wastegate (maybe can squeeze in with the exhaust upgrade)
- New wheels and tires (will have to get new tires soon anyway)
- 968 Mirrors/Handles (plus getting them paint matched)
- Full strip and repaint (for $1000? yeah right!)
- 968 Rear Hatch / Spoiler (again.. yeah right...)

for a grand get a new WG and an exhaust. After that i would go with suspension, unless yours is in bad shape. If it is, go there first. You can get a full Bilstein Cup steup for about 1800.00

i think you could get an ss exhaust made for around 600-700 from an exhaust shop which would give you enough room for a tial 38mm as well....but it would probably require a bit of tuning; maybe an smt6 from vitesse and a tial which would set you up well for future upgrades
edit: just noticed the bottom of your post about your tired suspension...in that case I think the money would be best spent upgrading the suspension

This doesn't sound fun, but a worn out suspension is even worse with the addition of go-fast parts. Go suspension now, and have your friends over for another poker game when you are done with the suspension. lol

LOL..
I think I've decided on the suspension (Koni Sport Shocks / Struts -- $569 + install) and an EBC, something like a Profec B S-II -- $329. That way I get a little of both.. take care of what I need, and get a nice toy to play with as well.

My suspension is so worn out now with 20 year old rubber it is like not having a suspension. It is very harsh now, I wnat the car to feel like a sports car stiff is good in my world.
