Looking to make tasteful upgrades to my 964 to modernise but maintain the originality as much as possible. What upgrades would people recommend

So far it's had a engine rebuild, new suspension, head unit, sigma alarm etc.. and today I dropped it in for bright bulb kit (not the xenons as they can mess with radio reception) and upgraded windscreen wipers (safety first). Going to replace the rear corner brake lights at some point too but after the full service cost has been forgotten

What else should be on the list?

When I say modernise I mean adapt the car modern needs or habits, typically by installing modern equipment or adopting modern ideas or methods and the originality point was I don't want to lose too much of the 964 character look and feel.

In terms of Porsche parts not necessarily but I wouldn't want to put on non porsche oem wheels as an example.

You need to tell us if it is a C2, C4, tip, cab, targa etc? The reason being that if it's an early C2 I would suggest you upgrade the rear brakes to 4 pots like on the C4. However if it's already a C4 there would be no point in suggesting that! biggrin
1990 C2 manual. Thanks I'll research the brake upgrade
