Enjoyable modification
 
Adding this 930s steering wheel to my 88 Carrera has been the single most enjoyable mod to my car. The car has a completely different "feel"

What single mod has made the most impact on your car?

Turboing it

stormmaster 06-06-2006 05:47 PM

Hard to choose which made biggest impact though....
Rollbar
Ducktail
Bumperette removal
Dual exit muffler
Painting wheel centers
Painting window trim
Painting Fan and housing

Some of the other mods were done by previous owner:
Drilled rotors
Braided brake lines
Prototipo steering wheel
Cocoa mats
Turbo tie rods
Lowered ride height
Cat bypass

A good racing seat and harness made a real difference. Once held in the seat properly I lost the death grip on the wheel and could relax and drive.

man she would kill me! but on upcoming "warp speed tour" will snag some w/car. dont want to piss her off before 2500 mile trip! but it really has been best modification. she doesnt care how much i spend on it! and that is 180 degrees from the "OLD MODEL" that i upgraded from! LOL! mid life crisis? what me worry??? crisis what crisis?

Everything
 
For me it was the paint, wheels, suspension, glass, rubbers, and motor...After replacing my rims I almost felt content. Still have lots of work to do but being in Iraq only adds money to the bank and there is no way for it to fix itself...but she is waiting on me unless my wife gave up the keys to "Jody"....

The single best mod was not to my car, it was to me...learning how to drive her HARD! I do enjoy the 930S wheel, harnesses, seats etc...
