The only mods I have done are the RSR’s.

My top 5 To Do mods are:

1. Moton Club Sports, with sway bars
2. Roll Bar
3. 18 inch wheels
4. Custom Recaro Seats

At Clutch Job: RS Clutch, LWF, Chip, Short Shift, new Chip and if I can swing it Guard LSD.

That is my wish list.

It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but a full clear bra kit is, IMO, a de rigeur mod that preserves the beauty of your car.

When I first bought my 993 way back when, I installed the following within three months or so of each other (RSR order took some time to complete and used DAS bar at decent price was rarer than hen's teeth) :

1) PSS-9 suspension
2) Xpel clear bra kit
3) RSR mufflers
4) Carnewal fpb
5) DAS roll bar

Yes, I agree it should go without saying, 100%, but just take a look at how many that frequent this board often and utilize it's knowledge are not. ... which is why I had to include it on my list.

I don't know how you could survive without a RL membership. No better return on your $17 that I know of.

I might be a little ahead of the curve as far as driver ability, In fact a 4 wheel'r is my step back now that I'm planning my retirement from Cycle racing. I've raced Daytona, Moroso, Barber, Roebling, Road America etc on a motorcyle.

Not saying it wouldn't be fun in a 993 but I've kind of been there done that. At least on my nickle, now if it was someone elses equipment.. thats another story

My opinion (not worth much)
-Ruf Suspension (Revavled PSS9) DONE
-RSR Mufflers with catbypasses DONE
-GT3 Seats DONE
-RUF 3-Spoke Steering Wheel DONE
-DUMP THE STOCK STEREO! (IN process)
