First: I lowered the car and put wider wheels on.
Second: Made everything I touched comfortable or the way I like it. |
I ripped out the old A/C and replaced it with after-market, super cold A/C.
Best money I've spent! |
mines was wide body, wider wheels, interior and them 3.6L upgrade......on my 1974 911s

Momo prototipo

First mod
My first mod was having the rear springplate bushings replaced, a new set of rear shocks put in, followed by RAISING the ride height some, a corner balance and an alignment. Totally transformed the drive-ability of the car and turned it into what I wanted, a true long distance machine.

Funny, I thought about doing this topic just yesterday while eyeballing my car; ever do that?!? Then I thought, "No, that's ridiculous..." So, my list just for kicks: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/sad2.gif New 16" tires and freshly refinished 7s and 8s, black with polished lips and petals, now two sets of locks per wheel and fresh lug nuts, too; bought like new rebuilt Targa top ($$); H4s, seals, and body color rings; OEM 930S Wheel and hub; black leather sport seats; ride height to Euro, maybe a bit lower; and alignment; valve adjust and oil change (yeah, those are maint. items; also rotor and cap); Euro rear lenses and seals, new; UltStrut support for the bonnet; new Cocos; misc. crap like replacing nuts /bolts, door tops, paint touch-up, rocker panel replacement, license frames, new chin spoiler, fog lens, cowl seal/trim, etc., polish, wax, soap; filled out tool kit; compressor.....it's no longer very close to a $20K car; sure is a good thing I love it!! :D http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...eys/yltype.gif Mirror bras, OEM, really like the look with all the black that's on the car; mat over the folded down rear seats; in otherwords, nothing earth shaking, but it's "maintained" and looking a WHOLE lot nicer!!

Make sure your mechanicals, motor,suspension,brakes,tranny ect.. are in good shape. That is the most important. After that, I'd do the lowering/corner balance.Exhaust and chip next.Get in some track time/DE, learn the car and your abilities.Do the cosmetic stuff, steering wheel,shift knob ect..

Oil-fed chain tensioners 30 years ago.
Switched from Zenith to Weber carbs 20 years ago. That's about it. Best, Tom |
Stickers. Lots of stickers.
And an antenna ball. Then get rid of those damn rubber brake hoses and go with stainless. Be sure they meet/exceed DOT testing requirements - like Power Braid or Stop Flex. |
All new brakes, bushings, and suspensions all around.
New interior (carpet and seat to be recovered). Seine shift system. I haven't touched the engine/transmission yet, nor the electrical. A new canvas top may be in order, but last on my priority list. |

Deciding to do my mod is all your fault! :-) |
I think for modifications, wider tires. Bigger torsion bars and turbo tie rods.
Did do all new drilled brake discs, & rebuilt the calipers, and new bearings but I rack that stuff up to over due maintenance. |
