Ya know, I've yet to get hit with the mod bug, unless you count the recurring thought of turning my targa into a cab. I'm pretty happy with both my Porsches' performance as delivered. I'm not drag-racing, nor do I regularly cruise well above 100 mph - what more do I need? I went to SSIs but that's because I needed new exchangers anyway.

Emanuel, I'd count the cab conversion as a "mod". I use that term broadly defined. Going to sport shocks was a mod, although I needed shocks anyway. Adding a front cooler was a mod, as is the new Recaro I'm putting in. And the Smart Racing extension. And when I needed to put oil lines in, I went with Elephant Racing lines instead of finding something cheaper.

So it isn't necessarily the big racing mods, but rather the little details that end up getting dealt with.

The one problem you want is rusted heat exchangers. Then you can justify getting SSI backdated exchangers. Good performance mod for a 911SC
