Nova Scotia doesn't have nicely paved highways or silk smooth roads but the Cabot trail in Cape Breton is something to experience in a Porsche once in a life time.

Thanks for comments..

Down the line if you try for more power, you might want to go to a billet side cover, Porsche was constantly strengthening them over the years as they always had flex. The flex can cause premature wear to the ring and pinion.

Thanks for info.

The weakness of those turbo G64 tranny is the LSD, the clutch pack wears out within 20 minutes.

964 Cup seats are regular Recaro's pole position seats, nothing fancy but much lighter than the factory hardbacks with bells & whistles.

Well done with the sunroof delete but I personally much prefer your E88's un-murdered!

Thanks. Unfortunately there isn't much options out there on centre lock wheels, a full black wheel on polar silver color is a very good combo, I spent a lot of time cleaning polished BBS outers this summer and they stain very easily. BBS gold is out of the question. I have a set of GT2 speedline but cant find wider inner/outers halves to fit bigger tires and no centre lock mounting.

I don't know the wheel offset, I'm running 335/30/18 at the rear and 235/35/18 at the front.
