I’m teaching my 15 year old daughter to drive almost exclusively in a Subaru STI, but the 993 with its loud exhaust and light weight flywheel has intimidated her. Despite her protests we went for a drive last week. After starting in a parking lot she graduated quickly to a quiet, curvy backroad. The highlight was when I told her to show me 45mph in second gear. She tentatively eased into the throttle and as the revs built, started to smile in spite of herself. After slowing she asked me excitedly, “Can we do that again?”
so we did.
Love this. Wish I would have thought to do this with my daughter when she was 15. Do you think it would have the same affect with a 25yr old?
Had Elite Auto Service install my rear tow control arms, balance tires, and align the car. The 993 is handling better than ever! Here are a few pics of the car, old parts and new Rennline parts installed. I bought the parts at the last Swap Meet in Hershey. Sander--thanks for the recommendation on Elite!! Ok, that was fun! What to do next--lol?
Replaced 4 year old stone guards for $ 20 from Clearmask - LLumar ( Suntek product).......old ones came off with a firm pull and easy application of this product....done in less than 45 minutes..........
Went for a country drive with a 991.2 GTS. We swapped midway through. It was my first time driving a modern 911 - I liked everything about it, but today I woke up dreaming about my '95. I guess that's true love.

Chris is a good guy - Sander is even better for recommending them.
About 4 hours start to finish — I work super slowly and take my time. You have to remove the fender liners to take off the bumper, which means jacking up the front to take off the wheels, which means driving the car up on sections of 2x4s cuz my jack doesn’t go low enough..... all of which adds time.

It's always amazing to see the difference in size between old and new 911s.
