General Information

Vehicle Name	"Girlfriend"
Year	1985
Make	Porsche
Model	911 Targa
Color	Indishrot/India/Guards Red
History	I'm the third owner, bought it in 2005 from Tyson's Corner Porsche in Northern Virginia. I've always wanted a turbo or turbo body but at the time I got this Targa it was the only one available for the budget I was willing to spend. However I'm very happy as regardless of anything it is still a 911 and it handles and behaves as such.

The car finally at my place, cleaned and polished!

Modifications

Exterior

I just recently got the duck tail and I had the tail painted and also did a touch up on the paint. I really wanted to have the whole car re-touched but could only do a partial re-touch. Still it looks pretty good!

Here with the Bosch H4's and ZEX HID bulbs.

Old pic with the Carrera tail, but when I first put the 9 Euro's.

Interior

Got a Personal wood steering that my wife got for me the first year I had the car. Although I was looking for something more closer in look like a 930 type wheel but hey is all good. I also have a dash cap for now as I will be replacing the dash pad soon. Some covers for now on the seats, but will be re-upholstering them with some replacement vinyl or leather covers. Still a work in progress. Speakers are 5 1/4 Sony's and FLI's 5x7 in the rear deck.

Engine / Under the Hood

Replace the catalytic converter with a Schnell bypass pipe. Dansk sport muffler 1 in and 1 out. Clawett high performance ignition wires. Modified air box to resemble the Fabspeed airbox. Pretty much the same of what I stated on the previous but a bit of more different pics for now.

Suspension

Have not address this yet, the only thing is that I lowered it to Euro height and that is it for now.

Wheels and Tires

Replaced the rear 7 Fuch and placed them on front, got 9 inch Euromeisters for the rear. Future upgrade will be to 17 inch Euromeister Fuchs unless I could afford some forge wheels at some point.
