Back to the street (Well sort of)
I finally put together a listing of the current "MODS" on my car. I confess, the car is a bit noisy in the cabin for a street car, but a blast to drive on the street, and remarkable on the track. I have enclosed some pics and a pdf file of the mods as well. Please note, these mods have been a work in process since 2001, a year after I got the car and was bitten by the performance/mod bug.

• Strut tower connector,
• Rothsport Quick Release Steering wheel device & MOMO Model 30 250mm dia. steering wheel, with horn button, installed by Lance Aspesi, Van Nuys, CA, one (1) man shop, custom work, incredible quality

• H&R springs with tenders, 700 Lbs front, 900 Lbs rear (Steve Weiner),

• Wheels: Two (2) sets of 17” 996 ten spokes, one in hand and one on the way, and one (1) set of 18” MY 2002 996 wheels for the street.
• Complete respray in original color of GP White. After 19 years, it was time.
***After driving my car for 20 minutes at Buttonwillow Race way, Pro-Driver Cort Wagner recommend that I should only consider doing two things to my car, and that would be “washing and and waxing it..nothing more, don’t change a thing”, I was told.
And those pics, taken at Laguna Seca Raceway, December 2015, and yes, that Vette got around my poor little stock 993.
