Default Post Pics of your Mods

Everyone seems to be pretty proud of the mods they have or have done themselves to personalize their P-cars. It would be great to see some pics of your favorite mods, especially for us newbie 964 parents. Smoking Rick Kirby made this suggesion and I would love to see them before I engage in this cult 964 ritual myself.

Okay... Here's some of mine...















The engine was rebuilt by Andial Racing in California. The heads were machined and upgraded. New valves, valve guides, valve springs, cams and intake. The engine was resealed as well. Andial installed one of their sport chips. Someone asked about the cams. The literature I first received on the car said that it had RS cams installed. After pouring over the paperwork I looked up the part numbers provided and the cams were stock 964.

Other things not pictured... Sport B&B Muffler, Bilstein sport shocks, H&R springs and a shock tower brace. It also has the Club sport lightweight flywheel.

Okay now... Let's see your mods!!!

Looks like the price of my mod project just went up. Excellent upgrades and add-ons. Everything that was done really adds desirable value to your car. I'm envious. You obviously spent a lot of time researching what you wanted in a Porsche since I recall this Porsche came with some of the upgrades. Let me know if you ever think about selling it.

Jack... Where did you pick up the steering wheel? Did you install it yourself? Could/would you reveal the cost?

Thanks,

Rick

Hey Rick; I need a set of pedals, SS sill plates, gauge rings, and extinguisher; mind shipping your over here since you're not using yours?

Very nice list of mods; kind of what I want mine to grow up to be.

Marc; very nice package too; I love black, even if Rick's might be a hair faster.

Marc:

The script on the head unit is tops...as are Rick Kirby's floor mats. Neither make you go faster, but are just terrific. Rick...I might steal the floor mat idea .
