Avic700bt touchscreen nav
diamond audio speakers
short shifter with agency power solid link
powder coated purple roll bar
tarret front drop links
Probably going to catch **** for this but LED front headlights and rear tails bc I can't stand the out dated look. I really didn't want to go through with what all needed to be done to update to the newer 996 oem headlights.
LED third brake light
3 spoke steering wheel
3 spoke airbag cover (I'm deleting all my airbags)
Ti lug bolts
sachs sport clutch
aasco lwfw
underdrive crank pulley
new AOS
new oil cooler
new water pump
lower temp t-stat
derlim engine mounts
derlim/aluminum subframe mounts
new coolant tank with updated cap
custom intake
port matched and coated oem headers
coated muffler deletes
Porsche durametric
Next on the line up of things will be:
ECU tune
15 lb Recaro leather pole position seats
oem carbon fiber hood painted to match paint
adjustable rear dog bones, sway bar links, and lower toe
JRZ triple adj coilovers
GT3 sway bar set
A redesigned exhaust system
lightweight wheels
Major weight reeduction. I'm aiming to get to 2500lbs
The last step will be if I decide to stay all motor to take it to a 3.8 with Ti rods or swap in a 996tt engine.
I really love boost but a well built all motor in a lightweight car is amazing enough. Till spring hits when the tax return pours in B)
If you didn't notice I spoil my cars lol
Thank god for only having girlfriends and no kids!

A Durametric "mind reader", and an all-expenses paid trip for my car to play with a bunch of her Porsche friends for 4 days at the end of February--I will naturally donate my time to personally chaperone 
. Might have to buy her some new shoes before the trip.
Hurdi...70th or 79th, super cool either way. Are you also considering any Boxing Day gifts for your new car (hint, hint)?

When I returned to the States in my caddie, there was a gorgeous 1999 C2 Cab with removable top waiting for me in the garage. 
As they say in the UK.. I was gob smacked to say the least. Who could think of a better 70th birthday present than that?

DIY Charcoal cabin filter change, rear brakes and wear sensors, complete coolant and brake fluid changed, serpentine belt, radiators power wash cleaned, air filter, oil change, a wash and a short (undisclosed) blast on turnpike. My first Porsche 911 Christmas and suprise 79th birthday present. What a Christmas.. The best yet.
