Taking 1998 993 C2 to shop today for door clicking and wing getting stuck up at times. Also thinking replacing steering wheel with Momo Prototipo. Thoughts? All else original and in great condition. Thoughts on changing out the steering wheel? Thanks

I have not. They supposed to be same as RS mounts, firmer than stock but not too much.
I will provide a feedback once tried and tested.

I’ll also update the transmission mounts, so comparison might be a litte colored by all the other upgrads. If I find them too stiff, you can have mine

You will notice more NVH from the upgraded RS trans mount than the RS motor mounts.

I am running the FVD mounts in my C2. I haven’t experienced any excessive vibration or noise.

Changed both control arms, a new sway bar link, all new tires, and finally installed the Blaupunkt DAB. Ride is smoother and now I have music

It was yesterday, but I cursed at it in a Sonny's BBQ parking lot, then opened all the doors, the hood and the frunk. Unplugged some things and then drove it home.

I replaced the upper valve covers and gaskets. I figured while they were in front of me, I replaced all the spark plugs as well.

Over the weekend I finally got my RS spoiler finished up & mounted. I had the shop fit the third brake light into the edge.

Default A bit of detailing

It’s been raining for 2 straight days so I spent some time in my garage. Turned on ZZ Top, grabbed a beer and the dog then went to work. Washed, clayed, polished, sealed, then waxed the 993.



My helper


Final result

The picture I posted above made me realize just how sun faded the seat belt anchor things were on my car so I just took them off and re-stained them black. Looks much better now.

Replaced my spark plug cables after seeing this on the cable going to the lower rear-most plug on the passenger side. Held off doing this as long as I could but finally dove in to do it. Wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought, just time consuming and a bit tedious. Patience and being methodical is a must! Replaced with OEM Beru cables in case anyone is wondering. Had done spark plugs and distributor caps/rotors 10k miles ago so this capped everything off.
