the car doesn't really need anything. I'd like to lower it with 22/29s, put on some 17 inch Fikse FM10s with black centers or Rota's with Dunlop Direzza's and put on a matched set of M&K cat bypass, muffler and Steve Wong chip, but those are spring endeavors. A Prototypo might be nice in the near term as well as body color H4 trim ring covers, and I do need paint the wheels, but even that's a bigger job than I want right now. The only crazy thought I've had is to paint it an 86 color, meteor grey (color of my first real 911...the 77 C3 that ran for a week doesn't really count) but add a hint of olive to it. Probably will just leave as is though.

Hugh, first thing I did was pull the AC out. Too much weight and won't need it until July next year if then.

Tobra, it'll come off the road as soon as salt is down

Todd, that would be great to see you again. been a while now.

Glen, tough call on the wheels. If they were nice (they aren't) I would leave them, but they screaming for a quick spray, with gloss white or Rustoleum 7777 satin black after I take some Mother's to the anodize. The wheels are probably the weakest part of the car and have these goofy gold crests attached to the caps. Not sure what Porsche was thinking.

Never been an SC fan. Can't understand why anyone would want to deal with CIS, WUR's and a generally inferior car to a Carrera for about the same price. I've had an 84 and this is my second 86.
