Default 993 Christmas list

So for the last few years I've been giving my wife my Christmas wish list. Usually it's stuff priced from $75-$125 (torque wrench, racing jack, stone guards, etc...). She picks some stuff, tells others, etc...The result is that I get good stuff for Christmas instead of another cashmere sweater.

I've got no list this year. Help get me started!

Tell her that your motor needs to be shipped to 9M for safety modifications.

Couldn't agree more. These cars are so incredibly underpowered they are almost dangerous (and yours, being a 95 like my blue car, is even more underpowered and dangerous). Colin will help make the car safer. Maybe a wee bit higher than your budget but can you put a price on the safety of you and your loved ones?

How about a pressure bleeder and a few bottles of Motul 660? That should fit within your budget.

A few things off my list from the past few years and a few other ideas:

  2. Longacre aluminum air tank
  3. Driving gloves
  4. Rennline track mats
  5. Rennline shift ****
  6. Rennline tow hooks
  7. Rennline pedals
  8. Quick release steering wheel hub
  9. Case of Brad Penn
Good luck, and happy Christmas

Dland and nollie are on to something.
Already have the power bleeder and Streather's book.
Brian;
Why don't you just keep your turbos at my house here in Tampa for a year or so? My recurrrent was moved back a week: Arrive on the 13th leave on the 18th. We're doing an altitude chamber session on Tuesday!

I asked for tune up parts last year, & got hell for it. This year she asked if I was going to ask for more spark plugs.

Books are great, so are Porsche cloths.

This year, I'm asking for Euro M030, lets see how that goes.

I don't have to provide a list but somehow all kinds of Porsche related items are under the tree each year!

Last year a certificate for the scissors lift was there...Woo Hoo! It's been used many, many times so far this year.

Safety equipment such as 5 or 6 point harnesses and racing seats would be a good addition to the list.

Cheers!
