Most Common Performance Modifications for Aircooled Cars?
Hi guys -
I've been a big Porsche fan ever since I was little, but I unfortunately don't have a Porsche at the time (I have a '76 BMW 2002, great car - blast to drive, the mods really bring her alive) but seeing as I'm getting into the world of vintage cars, I hope to obtain a 911 sooner or later.
I was wondering what the sort of "go-to" modifications are for the various generations of early aircooled 911s are. Weber carbs on early cars? Camshafts? Higher compression pistons? Springs, shocks, swaybars..? Software tunes on SC or 3.2s?
Where do you guys go about buying these parts, is there a go-to place, or group of shops that build engines that I could look at?
Probably commonplace for most of you guys with the cars I'm talking about, but I don't have one so I'm not as well versed.
Thanks
