Discussion
At long last I have my 1st 911.

The pics don't come close. A keeper for sure.
Needs new rears. P Zeros all round but rears are thin. What do folks suggest. Weekend car only. Fast road and maybe three or four track days a year. Has cargraphic exhaust, ferrodo d250 pads (squeaky)and I think is about 25 mm lower. Any other essential mods? strut brace? others?
Suggestions, much appreciated.
thanks BobT

Looks nice, love the yellow.
Tyres: get rid of those rubbish Pirellis anrd replace with Continental ContSport Contacts N2 (not very track oriented mind)
Mods:
Clear indicator lenses front; all red rears; side repeaters in silver from Ace Parts
3-spoke steering wheel from 996 (obviously can't tell from pics, but I'm assuming it has the standard 993 bus wheel)
Braided brake hoses, and uprated fluid; consider adding brake cooling ducts.
Here's my car showing the clear lenses, ducts and side repeaters:
If lowered I would also add the front protection bar from Carnewal.
I also have:
Strut brace
Rear speaker upgrade (also Carnewal)
RS LSD
Lowered

Ahh, my favourite type of thread. I would recommend a HID headlamp upgrade, shortshift kit and perhaps a Bilstein HD and MO30 suspension upgrade depending on what you have now.
www.carnewal.com is the place to look.

May also be worth considering the OEM Motorsound airbox cover (or doing a DIY drilling job on the factory-fitted one) for a bit more induction noise - always assuming that the exhaust won't drown it out, anyway!
I had an HID kit fitted to my own 993 Targa earlier this week and the difference is phenomenal - it is, if you'll pardon the pun, night and day. A must if you plan on driving the car after dark as the OEM headlights are woeful on anything other than the most brightly-lit roads.
