X-POST- Before you seriously mod yer car . . .
Seriously consider the time, cost and effort. Believe me I know.
I was told (but evidently did not listen) that I would be better off buying a car that had had most of the engine work and track set-up already done. Live and learn.
I've since moved to a full on race car (996) and should sell the 964 but have been reluctant to do so, but its just not getting driven. It's $30k or I would consider a trade for a stockish 964/993/M3 (+/- cash) .
I went kind of silly on this car (not the first nor the last I expect) having set out to make a street legal car that was optimized for HPDEs. I prefer the track bias- others might not, but it could be easily amended by deleting the roll-bar and putting the rear seats back in (which I have).
I will likely forget a few things but in the main the car features:
-complete 3.8 top and bottom end re-build by Kinetic and Graham Everett Motorsports including Carrillo rods, PMS and Smart bearings, GT3 oil pump, dual aux. oil coolers, Ti springs and retainers, head work by Sunbelt, knifed/drilled crank, LWF, RS clutch, RS trans mount, Rennline RSR engine carrier, semi-solid engine mounts, Hargett upper and lower valve covers, rebuilt distributors etc. etc.
-mapping by Steve Weiner/Rennsport (circa. 275 whp)
-custom dual Burns muffler exhaust with Fabspeed headers ( also + stock exhaust)
-TT front brakes with 968 turbo rears (Pagid Yellows)
-brake bias adjuster
-JIC Comp coilovers with rear remote adjusters
-urethane control arm bushings
-CCW 18’ wheels w/Toyo RA-1s
-Corbeau Pro seats w/Schroth belts
-DAS rollbar
-HID headlights
-RS door panels
-RAID steering wheel w/ airbag
-Shift-i shift light on dash
-Coolshirt wired and plumbed
-powdercoated engine tin, valve covers and fan
The car pulls hard down low and revs freely to 6800 (peak hp is at about 6500). It is very balanced with min. understeer. Very capable on the track but nice driving in the North Ga. Mountain roads and around town.
Btw its originally a Calif. car so is very clean and rust free. That said I would rate the paint about an 7.5/10 with minor chips on the hood and headlight trim rings.
Lots of photos upon request. That said, serious inquiries only pls.

Actual picture from my Eurotour last year. On the Dolomites Fun Run, we take it to 11!
Sorry for polluting the thread. This type car really makes me think about seeing if he'll trade for a nice 993.
