I’ve been lurking around for some time now and have sought advice on many topics. First, I would like to profoundly thank everyone here who have helped to foster my relatively new, insane 964 addiction.
I bought Beasty around the new year as a wonderful low mileage example which wouldn’t require much work, as I am most definitely the least capable RL’r yet. Below I will chronicle the journey to make her an individual and all mine.

Here she is today after a couple hour drive. She now has a ne KWv3 suspension, 1552 wheels and new rubber. Also, I have added the clear indicators and inside the Porsche Classic radio. So far my favorite mod is the $20 bumper plugs.

It is an insane addiction! Great start so far, especially fitting new suspension (I waited too long my first time around).
I hadn't even changed the oil on any car previous to getting my 964... months later, I was putting in new engine mounts, an alternator, and had my sunroof in and out of the car a couple times (all thanks to RL threads).

How's the interior work coming? Still planning a color swap?

Hey Tim!
Yes, I’m going tan to black and soundproofing. I’m also getting Flat6 led headlights and smoking the fogs and rear taillights. I deleted the primary it has a nice little growl now. I’m also toying with graphics-I bought a couple different variations to try out.

Congrats on the new ride! She looks like a beauty and I love the new wheels, looks like she may need some lowering springs soon though ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I’m not sure what it is about the 964 but they are insane addictions. My days of putting aftermarket components on cars stopped nearly 20 years ago and I hvaen’t really wanted to do it since.......but along comes the 964 and all of a sudden I can’t control myself. It’s madness!

Afshin,
Interesting you should mention aftermarket tastes. I am a 100% stock guy, and then all of a sudden, I’m doing mods like crazy on a car I have loved for 25 years-I find my own behavior in this regard a little odd. I’ve always been this purist, but now I love the Singers( and others) and even RWB’s !
BTW, I installed the KW v3. I set it a touch high and soft for starters. I will drive it for a bit before I decide to go lower/firmer. I want the lower look, but the roads in MI are generally bad.
