Post 1976 made me smile. I just came across the collection of rattly debris I’ve removed from the floorboard of my car. Some of it was wedged in the seats so I’d have silence for awhile, then go around a corner and it’d sound like I’d just hit the slot machine jackpot as change once again exploded across the floor. I had to remove both seats multiple times but almost silent now, except for something in either HVAC or behind gauge cluster. Not pictured are quieter bits of rubble like a fossilized peanut still in the shell, a partially melted crayon from Applebee’s and a disgusting cigarette butt.

Holy crap! Hitting the jackpot is right. I didn't have to take out my seats but might do so just to see what other treasures await.
Yesterday I installed the fog light delete/brake ducts, put in the new steering wheel and got the horn working (the wheel is amazing in person but the carbon fiber didn’t photograph very well). Thanks everyone for all the help on this! I also just had m030 springs, kuni’s and fister 2 ‘s installed. Yesterday I also lowered the front the last 1/2” I hope the springs settle in a bit more, I would like it to be a tad lower.
Installed Tores extra rear brakelight kit. Went for a drive this morning and the amount of light coming from the back of the car while braking is nuts! Nobody can say they didn't notice I'd hit the brakes if I'm ever rear-ended!
Took it for a two-and-half hour drive, only to get skunked with closed roads at both Arden Valley Drive and Storm King Hwy. But it was great to exercise it in some cool weather. Still love the amazing greenhouse of these cars--so easy to see everywhere.
It was a balmy 22* out so I decided to wash! Now time to wax, luckily the garage is heated.
And I thought I was the only one! Did you at least have a hot water hose? That makes all the difference in the world. I heat the car up.... leave it running with the heat/defrosters on full blast, and work fast. The heated garage is a must. Car looks great.

The steering wheel looks fantastic. I have been thinking about getting the same wheel possibly in the black rather than CF. Wondering how well you can see the gauges with the MOMO wheel? You have a low mile car and a full leather interior as well. Awesome car.
Your car looks great and those wheels are icing on the cake. Konis are height adjustable in the front only so you should be able to go lower than that. Are you sure you’re using ROW M030 springs, not US M030?

@aircooledpurist I didn’t have the car on but was moving fast! If I didn’t the water would freeze on the car before I could wash it off. My water comes out of the house warmed up, not ice cold, I think it has something to do with the circ. Pump. The wheel is great, nice leather, stitching and the carbon layout is perfect. Yes the gages seem to be a little blocked, I need to move my head a tad to see the speed. So far it doesn’t bother me at all, if it does I can always go back to stock. Thanks for the compliment! @P-daddy I ordered the row m030 from pelican. I guess that I didn’t double check the spring model number before the install. At this point even if they sent the wrong ones, I am not going to pay to swap them out. I’ll live with it.
PS- I saw singer is using a carbon fiber wheel now in their builds so I thought I would copy them!
Took the 993 4S out to laguna seca for its first track day under my ownership! My first time on laguna as well. The car did fantastically - impressive for a 23 year old!
