i have such a long list of "needs"... i am leaning towards finally pulling the trigger on a new suspension so that I can put the speedlines on too...they are still unremoved in boxes

"needs":

- suspension...PSS10 or Bilstein HD/M030, still need to decide
- new michelin pilot sport 2s
- new alignment/corner balancing
- new exhaust, debating DACH/FD/etc
- RS/big red brakes
- cosmetic respray of nose for rock chips
- split grill rear and turbo front bumper *or* full RS aerokit
- RS hardback seats painted to match
- RS steeiring wheel, shifter
- RS clutch/lightweight fly wheel
- cup strut brace
- color matched seat belts
- new ipod compatible Becker stereo

Its an overwhelming list! I figure start with the driving experience and most visual impact...which is to do the wheels/tires/suspension all at the same time. Have been saving for that. Sometime over holidays it will probably happen...yeah!

Merry Christmas to all.

OMG! what have you been waiting for, you've had the car for months now.

Simply the most amazing act of self restraint I have seen demonstrated by a RL'er since I've been around.

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!

Happy Holidays Jonathon

Magdaddy, about a month after I bought my car, I found out about a company relocation. Sell house, buy house, temporarily living, school switches, etc. I have been working from the new location, family and 993 in old location, etc. We move the family on Monday. That, and there is the pesky issue of money to throw at my long list of mods vs. put towards our downpayment on new house. Those have been fun conversations with the wifey Soon...the transformation will pick up pace...

Yeah what's wrong with you?

My list includes oil change and Wevos. But I need a new jack first.
