I just looked at mine and I can see that wad of blades in front of the drivers window. The mod sounds like a great idea, however, the original design was meant to wipe rain/sleet/snow away from the drivers view with the new mod configuration it wipes to the left which means rain water, sleet or snow will be brought to the drivers side. Not that I'm ever going to drive my 993 in rain, sleet or snow, just my observation.

Marco, could you describe _exactly_ what pinning did for the car?

As we all like to improve and modify our cars I thought a list of the best modifications that people recommend would be a good idea. So I'll start, in no particular order of importance;
Suspension change
RS engine mounts
Short shift kit
Wishbone bushes
RS uprights & track rods
Front protection bar
996 steering wheel
Front strut brace
Lightweight clutch & flywheel
Big ovals
Rear wiper relay change (1 sweep not 3)
Turbo S brake ducts
Front wiper arm flip
So copy and paste and add your mods!

the only thing I could detect immediately after pinning was that the steering wheel felt more "alive" and tracked the road more accurately.
after an hour of driving i could not tell the difference before vs after.
some might not like this mod if they have an aggressive alignment that is prone to "twitchiness or tramlining", since the NVH reducing elastomer is effectively defeated.
I have no regrets.
MY favorite mod = $124 HID headlights.

Hi Mike,
I will give it a try, for example: before the pinning when I experienced a (moderate) gusty crosswind while cruising on the highway at approx 100km/hr, sometimes it felt as if the car would track a different trail-a different equilibrium in geometry sort of speak.
The above described 'feeling' could also be generated when I voilently manouvered the wheel 10 degrees from left to right to left etc. during a straight ahead drive (on a empty highway
at approx. 80 km/hr).
And in general; slightly more feedback can be felt, but I can imagine you could easely get used to this 'new' feeling.
(Some extra info: the front bushes on this car were replaced using OEM rubbers 4 years ago, and one tie rod replaced 5 years ago).
Hope this clarifies a bit![typing](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/yltype.gif)
