Did you originally have the fronts and back set at 8 or different front to back?

They were both set at 8 now both at 4. I thought about leaving the rear a little stiff but not sure I'm ready to induce any oversteer with this beast.

A friend with a 993 C4 seems to be pretty happy with PSS10 settings at 9 rear and 7 front, I struggle to keep up with him through the mountains.

It really depends on where you go, but I paid $65 with tip. I took the headlights to a local detail shop with a good reputation.

65? That's unbelievably cheap but they do look nice.

He grew up with motor sport, a very experienced driver and a very well set up car.
I wasn't far behind through the twisties but he was way behind through the straights. Don't forget I have stock suspension, at least for now....

Fixed a fairly major rattle in the hood, there were 3! Bolts missing that held the support plate that holds the fan and air inlet duct. Luckily I was able to find exactly 3 M6 Nuts leftover from my old Datsun

Also, tweaked the prongs on the drivers side front turn signal, and added a quart of oil.

Noticed one of my taillight housings are cracked, can you "Plastic Weld" that type of plastic, or should I JB weld it or? Luckily all the pieces that cracked away from the housing are still there.

Bill I believe you are talking about the screw tabs on tail lights, most people use washers with epoxy or some even carbon fiber. There are some posts showing repairs if you search.
