Hi all:

New to the forum, not new to porsche. I've had a 1991 C4 cabriolet for 11 years now. Last weekend I picked up a bone stock 2003 996TT with 20K miles.

What next?

Thanks,

I figured that. I have modded all my past cars. I want to be a little smarter this time around. My first step will be to track the car and figure it out from there. I know power addition all too well and I am really going to try and restrain myself as best as I can.

BTW I was born in Bean Town!

I would try an ECU flash and an exhaust. That will be good for 80-90hp. It really just wakes the car up to what it should have been like from the factory.

BTW, welcome to the club...

Yes Steve that is one of the many fun drives up here. I drive a section of that every morning. Old 40 from Donner Lake to Sugar Bowl is still one of my favorites.

Welcome and congrads. Everyones first temptation is to go for power mods, but
start with the suspension.

gabo is infamous around these parts
"...start with the suspension": this is my opinion, too! Bilstein PSS10 and you drive a different car...!

p.s. welcome and congrats!

This looks like a great board with plenty of information. I agree that suspension mods first. However, I will still first track it stock to see what level to go before jumping into coil overs. Has anyone just done sway bars and links successfully? My concern is ride height.
