First mods for 996 C2?

[mattski]

Hi,

I should get my first Porsche this week and, naturally, I am starting to think how I can 'improve' it. It's a standard 1999 car and I've been thinking that maybe a Performance Sports Exhaust and, perhaps, 997 GT3 wheels might be a good start.

What would you do and why?

I had the PSE fitted to mine , have this done the sound is awesome. It's also switchable so you can have it quiet ( as yours is now) when you don't want to wake the neighbours. There is no bhp increase though , just a better sound.

M030 suspension (buy it from Carnewal and get an Indie to fit it), some say t makes the ride too harsh but IMO it lowers the car just enough (ie not much) and makes it feel a bit more planted - although in my case it went onto a car with 50,000+ miles so any sort of fettling of the suspension by an expert was bound to be a good thing.

But the best upgrade you can get is also one of the cheapest and you can subsequently 'fit it' to every car you ever own for free - driver training! Seriously, a bit of track time with a decent instructor will do far more the the car's performance and your enjoyment (not to say safety as well) than any other 'mod'. I personally like the ones at Bedford Autodrome as there are massive grass run off areas so little chance of damage!

BTW the Sports Exshaust is superb!
