Suspension.
best $$ I have spent on my 72.

Bilstein sport shocks, Steve Wong chip, sticky tires (Goodyear Eagle F1, Michelin Pilot Sport, Yokohama Advan Neova).

Thanks for the feedback>>gents

"Assuming the car is in good shape overall, and nothing needs looked at- drive her!!!!!!!!!!!
Spend the money on track time, driving lessons, and tires.
Learning to drive these beauties at speed- safely on the track- is a whole lot more fun than looking at your new sway bars.
Once you can handle the car- then you will know what needs to be done next. Use your next $2000 to do the upgrades that you will then want. A new set of bushings will not put a smile on your face the way powering through turn one at your local track will. Been there, done that!

Regrettably ther are no tracks in Hong Kong and no driving school specifically for these cars as such.
Suspension appears to predominanlty be a preferred upgrade:
What specifically would one want to upgrade.
The front left and rear right shocks are slightly weeping.
The tie Rods need attention...the PPI suggested,

Any specific recommendations .... " suspension "...need more info...what specifically- bit vague,, thanks.

Here she is:
Got some second hand 7 and 8 Fuchs here in Hong Kong for 400 USD...need to be Polished and have the centers polished..and new tires...http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1143384409.jpg

Go to elephant racing.com and look at one of the combo's You probably want the street1 or 2.

A brand new a/c system

God, no pre 964 air con is gonna cope with Kong Kong.

Really nice looking car. Good idea to put the Fuchs back on. Assuming the suspension is sound, I'd get it wound down an inch or two and then have a proper 4 wheel alignment done by a Porsche specialist.

Then Id put the remaining $1900 in my pocket, because the odds are you are going to need it.....

Driver Education is very very good advice.

Well, unfortunatley it sound like you will be spending your money on maintenance. If your car will never see the track, really think about whether you want to put a track suspension and upgrades on her- the ride will get harsher and noisy. I can't help in which way to go- as I installed a track based suspension on mine, but now that the car sees mainly the streets- as I have 2 other race cars- the suspenison is a little stiff and low. Let us know what and how you drive, and we can help. Sounds like you need shocks, tie rods, probably bushings, etc.

suspension all the way around w/ elephant racing bushings, new konis, ball joints, sway bars, tortion bars, tie rods and wheel bearings (just did the axles so i wouldnt have to worry about those). follow it up with an alignment (and lower it while im at it since i have a stock ride height).

The AC is VERY cold -- seems it was upgraded when ordered.

I did the following to my 1987 coupe and rather the one thing and then another we did it all at once

Smart Bars, front and rear
Bel steins
Turbo RT
Cross Drilled rotors
Larger T-bars
Corner Balanced
Eight inch Fuchs on the rear and sevens in front
Lowered and aligned.


It made a great car even better

Re: AC
 

Really? You must have the only pre 89 in the WORLD with effective airconditioning. -)

Sorry about my earlier typo "Kong Kong"- most impollite.

Re: spending 2k
 

Yes, and you spent a whole lot more than 2K on it, even for just the parts.
