Seriously, note how many responses refer to "front protection bar" or "FPB" or "Carnewal's bar". This is cheap and you need it right away if you are driving this car on the street. It's easy to install and protects you from your own stupidity while parking, entering driveways, etc.

Hi
I am new to all this so apologies for my ignorance. There is much written about the suspension options, but what about the steering? Does the 993 not have a lot of rubber on the steering arms? The RS ones have a lot less and are not expensive. Why do I not see this being mentioned as a worthwhile mod? After the suspension it is number two on my list. Am I missing something?
All the best

LOWER (lower/better suspension)
LOUDER (aftermarket or modified original mufflers)
IN YOUR FACE UGLY(swap out clunky 4-spoke wheel)
the only other must haves are:
Lots of gas money
An open road (or track)

Its really interesting reading everyones list -- Andreas forgot "xenit dip every part of car that is not body color" :P
I would recommend three things for starters:
0. DE days / comp school to learn how to drive your 993 (perhaps you already know this...)
1. Suspension
2. Cargraphics or other full size oil cooler on the left side.
WRT #2, I fell that its really really important if you have a daily driver that can get caught in traffic to have this. These cars are more oil cooled than air cooled, and I am really suprised that it isin't on more folks list.
