Default First birthday with the 993, time for a mod or 2

All right guys
I have owned my 993 narrow body since march.
My birthday is coming up and it is time for my first MOD.
If you could do any thing, what would you do?
My car is bone stock with 17" Cup 2 wheels.

Help me give my wife a quality shopping list

Thanks for the short list
Have you made these yourself?
How did those suspension upgrades change the feel of the car?

I have instructed two students on the track with 993's set-up with this suspension. I also had the opportunity to drive both cars on the track & street. It is a good dual purpose suspension set-up in my opinion and a common upgrade on a 993

upgrade to cw front control arm bushes they are Imo the best bang for your buck. Elephant racing offers an awesome monoball style bushing alternative.
I love how my car handles, see my 993s toys below

Here are some more ideas...

1. 18 inch wheels with some nice summer tires, and some nice winter tires for those 17 inch rims.
2. Fister big ovals
3. New stereo system including speakers

Happy Birthday Todd!

Suspension, suspension, suspension! If you don't want to spend big dough on the PSS10s get some Bilstein HDs and ROW M030 springs or H&R springs.

Then with the leftover funds go with the Fister Stage II.

ANYTHING? Ninemeister or RothSport engine overhaul and power increase.

Items that are great upgrades for our cars: PSS10s (or Motons ), FD exhaust, FD golden rod, rothsport shifter (or RS shift linkage)
