Default Standard mods for an 02 996 c2

What are the standard mods most people do to their c2 cabs? I'm looking for good bang for buck, more go than show. Also any things that make the car better or more reliable, it's a daily driver.

PSE MK II mod - best bang for your buck. Will not add any HP, but it will sound much better.

Default I did...

Clear markers, fister D's, CAI, Wheels and some interior color matched parts. I figure unless I do some major engine mods the HP gains will be slight. I have been down this road before and 10-15 HP per mod is a bit unrealitic.

My favorites in ( )

- Exhaust (PSE)
- Intake (EVO)
- Suspension (X74)
- Headers
- Chip
- Wheels (forged in GT3 size and offset)

=====

The list above is just for a street car. If you are going to the track you may want some additional safety, brake, and suspension mods depending on your experience level.

Here's mine:
K&N Cold Air Intake
Fister exhaust
Exhaust tips with larger oval than OEM (I do prefer double oval)
Fabspeed headers (got lucky, found them on Ebay new for very cheap)
H&R Springs
Motul RBF 600 with Pagid Orange (factory rotors and master cylinder 25.4mm)
Nology hotwires (did this when the car was due for a major service instead of buying factory)
OEM hardtop (love it, I rarely take it off)
Looking fwd to:
Intake Plenum
Sport cats (probably Fabspeed)
GT3 seats (Ill miss the heated seats in winter though)
and anything new I'll learn here.

I would highly recommend getting the 2nd gear detent replaced, as well as a OS Giken LSD installed. But that is just me....

Go to a PCA DE and get instruction. Nothing else will make your car faster than learning to drive it.
