Can we remove the might as well have bought a 993 ref - this is perhaps a us-centric view, defo not a european one ;-) much better to have a 3.8 conversion ref. there...

Also...lets have a FREE section and move drill airbox, weight reduction areas etc

Actually, buying a 993 at $15K more than a 964,... you're still not even close to the performance of a 964 with $15 worth of upgrades,...

Put me firmly in the $3K camp advocating for a proper LSD (Guard!!!).

Those who have done this will know why, those who haven't can't imagine the difference it makes.

Save your money and just go with an inexpensive primary or secondary bypass. The real-life performance benefits are on par...

The most noticeable transformation that you can make to your car is to replace/upgrade the springs AND shocks. Followed by the crappy H5 headlights!
