If you guys would stop posting so much cool crap to buy, I could slow down. I blame all of you! haha

I'll probably get new mats at some point...

The next big purchase probably in spring time is a full 030ROW suspension... mine is stock US luxo SUV...

RocketJohn

I can't stop driving the car either... I've put on 1500 miles in 3 weeks and haven't been further than 150 miles from home... these Colorado canyons and passes keep calling my name...

Fister Stage IIIs arrived this afternoon... what a crazy easy install... nice craftsmanship, engineered to keep the drone away... I am so glad I didn't go II, I wouldn't want the IIIs quieter... Darin said they would be a bit quieter than normal since I am at altitude...

Fantastic upgrade... subtle looks, great sound... Thank you FD!

Benton

Haha, all of those mods before you even get your plates! Impressive. The black/black looks great.

RocketJohn

Benton, that's funny... too many many years of pent up Rennlist knowledge to be patient I guess... I've had it 4 weeks now... other than the chip, everything has either been Porsche replacement parts or parts because something was worn out (ie: Speakers, CD player)... that's my justification...

T-Locks are coming...

I am taking my time on suspension upgrades... I am not sure which route I want to go...

Narrowed down to these at this point:
033 with Koni FSD
030 with Bilstein HD

but last week it was H&R with Bilstein or KW V3 Coilovers...

Reading and learning... need to ride with some local guys and get a sense of which direction... no rush as my toy budget has been depleted...

RocketJohn

only one of my 3rd brake light bulbs was not working... tried to order via Pelican, they canceled the order and said they could not get them... went to my dealer and two weeks and $5 later, I got what has to be the tiniest part ever...

I predict one day having to replace more and possibly going down the LED route... in the mean time, they are analog and all working... [keeping fingers crossed]

really enjoying your updates RocketJohn. I have a 95 C4. I am learning tons just by reading your updates. Have some Fisters coming my way soon. Your car is in great shape. Enjoy!

RocketJohn

Thank you Michael Howe... Car is definitely in great shape... good to see a rare GP white like yours as well...

I didn't mention it above, but you do have to use a soldering gun to unsolder the light bulb out that's burnt, and solder in a new one... not hard, but I failed to mention that... Be gentle too... i've read in my research people going in to fix one or two and reinstalling and now needing to fix 3 more...

RocketJohn

Installed the T-Locks tonight... easy install, nice upgrade for this car...

Affordable, excellent instructions, works out of the box, no need to sync remotes with base unit...

lopro

I met John today, stopped by my house. Super nice guy, very much into 993s like all of us. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next.

RocketJohn

Great to meet you too Tony... I was over at his place admiring his museum of amazing 993s... wow... fantastic cars! Thank you for you information and advice today!

I snagged his Black 18" Turbo Twist NB solid wheels... need to get some sticky summer tires and he mentioned I need a steering brace... Didn't even know about the brace... thanks Tony!

Also snagged his silver center caps for my silver stock 17" Cup II wheels which have all season Kumhos and will be my cold season setup...

Wife and I enjoyed a nice drive up to Central City for a Prime Rib lunch at a local casino... fun twisty times...

DALLWA

Awesome meeting you John and see again soon.

I was thinking after you left, you may have a steering rack brace already. Car has 80k miles and not sure what owner you are, but check first before you buy. Prior owner may have put one on.

Cheers,
Tony

RocketJohn

yep... I was thinking I need to check that too... Will check it out tomorrow and report back...

RocketJohn

Checked... no steering brace installed... upside is that the rack is dry, lots of cosmoline still under the front apron, things look stock and in very nice shape in the front end... no surprises...
