thks, I'll be switching to a 981 Boxster GTS, GT2 seats and carbon ceramics as my daily.

So after all this time which mods do I still have ?

1. OEM exhaust with front 100 cell cats only (200 cell and 400 cell rear cats removed) - Good
2. Techart GT front Fender - I like it, most don't
3. 3 inch Y pipe and AWE intercoolers - nice but a waste of money on a 550 hp car
4. Rotec Carbon Seats - save massive amounts of weight, most people find them "not solid enough" great though for me
5. RSS Engine Mounts - well made but probably no substantial difference
6. Bilstein PSS9, Nice but certainly not worth the total cost
7. GT2 style engine lid, nice save lots of weight, good value
8. High pressure fuel pump - little difference
9. ECU tune - definitely 1.2 bar every day
10. Gemballa smaller tiptronic steering wheel with front facing buttons - Brilliant
11. Girodiscs drilled and slotted - also Brilliant
12. Not forgetting the $55,000 Sportec engine rebuild with Carillo Rods etc

Best of luck on the next car. Those cares are truly great fun cars. Are you getting rid of any of those items?

Sold the car for $39,000, think the guy got a bargain with 80k miles but at least I didn't pay for the Sportec engine but people in Continental Europe mark down modified cars sadly, even though it drives as if its just 1 year old

surprised to hear only 39k. I thought they were going for more in Europe?
Good luck with your other cars.
