Wheels: The D90's will be my winterset. In the summer (so, probably around march/april) I will buy a set of Cup 1's 17" with tyres.
Apart from that: probably H&R coilovers. But again, next summer...

I paid attention to oil pressure today when I went for a drive. 1990 C2, 90k...
At idle: 1.5 bar
Decent throttle: 5-~5.5bar (a little above the scale)
Looks like mine has high blood pressure.

. 1.5-3 bar hot idle 20W50 oil, 20 Celsius ambient, 4.5-5.5 (off scale) over about 2.5k rpm, (needle bounces around a bit, probably a bad sender or a dodgy ground or some darn thing, I can get an extra one bar of pressure just by hitting a bump!) Porsche says somewhere should be 5 bar at 5k rpm IIRC. My point is, don't obsess too much. My recipe for Porsche enjoyment - Start car. Fasten seat belt. Got oil pressure? Go.

.8 bar(12psi) is enough for idle for pretty much any motor as long as it jumps right up when you give it Rs. 4 bars is almost 60psi.
How old is the oil?
My 928S loses about a bar of idle pressure when the oil gets whooped.
