'91 964 Turbo Bosch H'4/HIDS
Intercity dropped the car off, once again, right on time and with out any drama.
Anyway, while the car was at Dan Jacobs, I brought up the night time visibility which seems to be the inherent problem of all 964's.
Baron (Dan's son) instantly with out any reluctance, recommended upgrading H5's to H4's with HIDs.
The proposal wasn't cheap but I knew if there's some one who could do it, it had to be them, so I OK'd it and boy, am I glad I did the swap
As a comparison, I took pictures of wife's '07 530i with HIDS and the same spot with the 964 Turbo and you can't tell the difference.
I also brought up how vague the transmission felt and once again Baron recommended modifying the stock rod (not golden rod ) and boy does the transmission feels great now. Though the shifts are not any shorter but they are lot more precise and finding the gates are much easier now.
Let me put it this way, with this transmission rod mod, the car feels entirely different and is not only fun to drive but you actually want to drive it daily now.

Nice headlight upgrade. Very cool. As a guy who loves road trips - and I love driving late into the night on road trips - I've always especially appreciated good lighting. So far with this car I always drive with the fogs on for some extra light and its not bad IMO.....but those HIDS - very nice!
Car looks awesome.
