Thanks guys, I don't want my wheels sticking way out in the front. I guess I won't be buying those wheels.

I also found this site which is pretty helpful for figuring how the wheels will sit.

What besides the windshield do I need to have to swap my windshield on my 964 Cab?

I'm thinking of getting this and wondering if I need anything else? DIY or take to a pro?:

What is suppose to be under the driver and passenger side floor mats? I have bare metal floor under there. Is that normal? I would like to put the Rennline track mats in but I am not sure if they fit over a bare metal floor.

Thanks

there should be some foam/rubber lining but it get's mucky so usually gone .. they'll fit fine
search the 964 cup car floorboard threads to see more pics .. if you want you can cut closed cell foam to fit those gaps you have and make the 'floor' flatter but not necessary

The floor mats originally covered some spongy noise insulation with a rubber covering which soaks up water beautifully and after 20+ years starts to break down. There are numerous threads about possible replacements including cup style wooden floors as well as the Rennline units. For example https://rennlist.com/forums/964-foru...board-diy.html

I actually just installed my rennline full races a couple days ago. I didn't weld to the floor - as someone here said, you never really put any weight on your floorboards, so they're sitting just fine without being bolted/welded to the metal.

Look pretty cool too (though I covered with the carpets so the wife wouldn't notice).

Hey guys, I'm trying to replace a few things, but OEM is a bit more than I want to pay, and I don't think they are mandatory OEM items. My only concern is fitment.

Any reviews on this brand?

Short power steering-reservoir hose. 13$ vs 52$ for oem.

The J-pipes are very simple designs. I'm sure they all sound the same. The only differences to worry about are the quality of materials and workmanship, if there is any difference at all.

I've heard j pipes are better for power than a g pipe. But I think simply switching out the secondary for a g or j without any other modification actually reduces power. Don't hold me to that since I have no dyno sheet to prove it. I'm only going by what I've heard on the board and my butt dyno. Someone must have before and after dyno sheets,

Someone may chime in abt the back pressure you don't have once you install the g...

Cargraphic makes a yet longer pipe that they claim works even better, but for 395 dollars I passed. Found my g pip on eBay for 25 dollars.

I am looking for headlight trim rings without the adjuster screw holes.
Do these headlight trim rings fit a stock 964? What has me wondering is the "lump" by the fastening screw hole at the bottom. My current rings do not have that.

Those trim rings are for H1 and H4 lenses. What lenses do you have? In the US, the cars came from the factory with H5s. I suspect that's how they came in Canada too. If you have H5's then no these will not work.

By the way, if you have H5's, I recommend you consider upgrading to H4's. They provide much better lighting.

How necessary is it to bench bleed a new master cylinder. Worth it? Or should I just hook up motiv bleeder, bleed the master, and then bleed each corner.
