Misconception. The faux RS actually rides better on the street with the Motons and 600/800 springs than the 4S does with PSS9, IF I have street seats installed. It's even pretty pleasant with 17" tires, even with an R compound like an RA1.

Hello folks,
My name is mathias and i am 26 years old from belgium. I have been reading a bit on this forum already but there is so much information on :P
I bought my first porsche in february this year and i love it !
Its a aventura green 993 NB from 1996 with the non varioram engine, 272P.
Now the questions start.
Im looking to improve the car in a few ways.
i want the bucket seats of the RS, but are there replicas for it from recaro?
id like a different steering wheel aswell with airbag if possible that i can get closer to me, dont really know how to solve this problem. havent found any kind of spacer yet.
ill probably switch the suspension to PSS10 aswell
should i change the enginge mounts aswell ? ive been reading about those WEVO mounts, do they supply the transmission mounts aswell ? couldnt find them on their site for the 993 ?
ive changed the mufflers for DANSK mufflers and will get 100cell sportkatalyst probably next week.
Im looking for some more upgrades on the enginge to gain a bit more power. what do you guys suggest ?
maybe a different air intake to start with ?
what other mods should i think about aswell ?
nice to meet all of you guys !
cheers

what you do depends entirely on how you plan to use the car, it's going to be very expensive to get more power from the engine, I'd leave it alone and concentrate on the suspension and seats
for street use Bilstein HD w/ M030 springs is popular as is PSS10
more track oriented suspension is JIC and KW where there is more choice of springs
I'd leave the engine/trans mounts alone unless it's a track oriented car and/or the stock ones are worn out.

im not looking for hardback sport seats, but for the bucket seats out of the RS.
this one :
http://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod11...che-964---993/
a friend of mine told me that this one is the same thing :
http://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod11...ts-Seat---GTR/
doesnt look like the same thing to me ? does anyone have an idea ?
at the moment i also have the K&N filter and drilled out airbox cover like the motorsound option
my plan was after the install of my 100cell sportcats i would have it chiptuned by someone.
now ive been reading some stuff about complete different DME's and so on, is this needed ?? or can i just bring my car to a tuner and he can chiptune it ? i dont expect a lot of power increase, but with the other exhaust and sportcat i figuered it wouldnt be bad to have it tuned aswell...
thats why im asking what i could do to the engine before i have it tuned ...
as in maybe a different air intake ?
what else could i possibly do ?
and for the rest, i would like the car to be a bit firmer, little better throttle response... well just all of it but a little better

In my opinion the best racing seat for a 993 is the recaro pole position.
It fits perfectly and looks factory.
The 996 GT3 seat is a bit too big and looks a bit too modern in a 993.
Best regards

at the moment i also have the K&N filter and drilled out airbox cover like the motorsound option I had the same but the only difference is sound,no gain in power
my plan was after the install of my 100cell sportcats i would have it chiptuned by someone. Good idea
now ive been reading some stuff about complete different DME's and so on, is this needed ?? or can i just bring my car to a tuner and he can chiptune it ? i dont expect a lot of power increase, but with the other exhaust and sportcat i figuered it wouldnt be bad to have it tuned aswell... I wouldn't bother with a new chip
thats why im asking what i could do to the engine before i have it tuned ...
as in maybe a different air intake ? Doesn't work as the original airfilter works best
what else could i possibly do ? If you want to gain power it will become VERY expensive so I would leave the engine as it is.
