Hello,
I'm new to the forum but wanted to introduce myself. Recently purchase a 1995 993 C2 with the following upgrades.
Polar Silver/Black leather interior - PCA member owned 86,000 mi Euro transmission G50/21 - Gert in Belgium Fabspeed Cup exhaust Moton Club Sport Shocks Fikse FM5 18” wheels Upper front tie bar TRG Adjustable swaybars with custom heim joint links RS brakes and rotors - front and rear RS short shifter RS Flywheel and clutch RS Steering wheel with airbag removed Solid motor mounts/Delrin tranny mount BMC Intake RS Door panels Rear wiper delete RS Washer Bottle Headlight washer delete Turbo front bumper (factory), side skirts and Turbo S tail (non-factory) CDOC Roll bar
Car is intended to be my track car with occasional street duty. I'm new to porsche performance driving as I previously owned Miatas so I'm sure the learning curve will be steep. Grew up with 911s and finally took the plunge buying my own. Car is in pretty decent condition but is definitely a driver which is perfect for my intended use. Not sure im a fan of the front bumper or Turbo S wing but that can be changed at a later time. Plan to put on new rubber, tackle the race seat install with harnesses, new pads and then she's ready to start learning in. Im in the Tampa area for anyone else close by. Looking forward to meeting people.
Attached a few pictures for people to see. So far loving it. Already had my neighbors call the police for a noise complaint which is perfect.

Congrats and welcome to the club! Looks like you got a VERY well configured car. Very very nice. Looks to be below RS ride height, and if so it's surely borderline undriveable due to the massive bump steer. The only options to solve that are RS wheel carriers or raise it up above RS ride height. Been there done that. Get the RS hubs!

So I've read...Im going to pull the wheels soon to put on new rubber...The list of modifications I got was from the owner prior to who I bought it from. Car has been in storage the last 7 years so Im not sure how complete it is. I need to see if there is anything else before I start buying crap. But yes...car is stupid low. Plan to have the car setup for the track at my local shop so some adjustment is in order.

A track car need to be stupid low
Before buying anything inspect what's already there, The car appears to be well setup, I'd be surprised if it doesn't already have the correct RS wheel carriers.
The usual things a car like that will have is
RS wheel carriers and tie rods, RSR inners are a +
f/r bushes upgraded to RS spec, w/ harder rubber bushes in selective locations, mono-***** are a +
RS sways
You have the front big reds, I can't see the rears but + if they are RS
hopefully the wheels are at least 8 & 10 x18, + if the fronts are 8.5
Just a suggestion but there are a ton of informative threads to look through here

Ill put it up in the garage and snap some photos...I've been reading like crazy. Plan is to take it out this year and drive it while upgrading little things here and there just to learn to drive the damn thing. Plan is to start ordering parts for the full on build/refurbish. I like that its not perfect at the moment so it will tolerate me sucking lol. Its just a different animal to the Miata but I love it.

Took a shot as best I could...One is the rear breaks and the others are the front assembly. By my untrained eye looks like a stock wheel carrier based on other pictures I've seen.

The rear brakes are either tt or RS, only way to tell is oull the pads, 4x 28mm is tt and 2x30 W/ 2x36 is RS, you want RS
You have RS front sway w/ stock links(that's' strange) can't see the rears
The wheel carriers appear to be stock, mostly because the arm is mounted above the knuckle arm, RS would mount below it, At you ride height you want the RS version of the wheel carrier and outer tie rod and the RSR monoball inners
here's a pic comparing them
short arm RS on the left and long arm stock on right, both have the steering arm to the right
