That would be the rust-free(no really, i climbed all over and under it)sweet runnin' and shiftin' 2.0 '74 914 with 5 fuchs and 5 pedrini wheels for $2k

Either that or the VW turn signal relay for $8 when they wanted $35 for the same exact relay from PP :p

Why the very first M&K single in-single out muffler of course!!! Honestly, there's no better reason to hit 7K all day long than this muffler.

three others hit the list:
Weidman RSR finished deep 6s, rears widened to 7Rs (shipped yesterday)

Original early leather sport seats

Excellent early S bumper picked up the other day.

Easy. Turbo sway bars for my 944 N/A. I thought the car handled well before...now...holy *****...really nice improvement...

As for my 911, I bought some polishing compound and finally removed the oxidation from the paint. Looks much better. The only performance improvement I made to the 911 was seat time at autocross last summer. Oddly enough, the more autocross events I attend, the faster the car seems to go...who knew? ;)...

Well I bought the 964 this year (1st porsche)
Liked it so much went out and bought the 79 SC.
Now when I'm working on one I'll have the other one to drive. Did I get addicted or what.

So you might say the coolest thing you bought this year was a John Walker's Workshop licence plate frame. :p

A custom length shifter rod. Puts the shift know about 4 inches away from the wheel in 1st and 6 inches away in 5th. Got the idea from a JW thread and applied it to a factory short shifter, had the guys in the machine shop make the extension and weld it all up. Has great feel and only needs a light touch.
A very cool thing.

Im not saying what I paid for it, but I'll nominate my find of a Carrera RS MFI system w/aluminum 019 pump on a shelf of an old hotrod Porsche shop that had been converted to a paint shop. 2nd runner up would be the complete 3.2 short stroke I found under a table in another old local Porsche hotrod shop for less than 1/3 the cost of the amount on the original build sheets.

Gas. Just happy to afford gas.

No, I'm afraid a private investigator may be hired to remove the sticker and want to avoid vandalism to my car.

Luv my Lindsey / Fuchs wheels. Now if I could just get the bodyshop to finish my flare widening!

For my birthday, my wife took a pic of the crest on the hood of the old E, took it to a potter friend of ours and had a jumbo mug with the crest made. Probably in violation of copyright, but a very personal thing.
