Hey guys,

I thought I would post up my mod list to see if anyone had any new ideas.

I started with a 1999 996 C2 Cab about three years ago. I'm not into wings and things or stereo upgrades. Just looking to wrench a bit and making something a bit less refined than what Porsche originally built.

Here goes:

1. Replaced all the broken plastic underneath...panels, winglets, etc.
2. Sachs LWFW and clutch
3. Odyssey lightweight battery/Rennline battery mount
4. Bilstein PSS9 suspension
5. Front suspension tie bar (can't do the rear in a cab)
6. Turbo/big red brake conversion
7. 19" Fikse wheels
8. B&M short-shift kit
9. Fabspeed Cup Intake
10. Fabspeed headers
11. Fabspeed 200 Cel Cats
12. Fabspeed mufflers
13. IPD intake plenum
14. Under-power lower pulley
15. WEVO semi-solid engine mounts
16. Smart top top controller

Overall, I like the car a lot better than when it was new. It feels quicker (probably isn't), sounds better and gives me something to talk about.

At this point, other than flashing the ECU, I think I'm out of options. The next time the clutch needs replacing I will do the IMS upgrade.

What do you think?

Didn't see a tune on there. Should pick up a few extra ponies and get the full potential with the intake/exhaust mods.

Nice list, did you perform all the mods yourself as well?

The front suspension tie bar will do nothing fo yor car other tht maybe look nice. There is already a brace in the front trunk. Do a search on front brace and you will learn more.

Th PSS9 (or PSS10)are a great upgrade.

19 in wheel are more for looks than performance.

Just my two cents.

I would consider:

17. GT3 sway bars
18. Tarett engineering adjustable drop links
19. GT3 (or GT3 RS) wheel alignments
20. EVOMSit ECU tuning adapted for your mods

I have these in addition to most of the ones you have bar the big reds and the LWFW. My car IS faster :-)
The suspension upgrades allow near neutral handling and flatter cornering than I had with PSS10 alone.

If you want to improve your brakes further, you can perform the same mods to your big reds I have done to my standard brakes:

21. 997 GT3 front brake air ducts
22. Goodridge Stainless steel barke lines
23. Endless MX72 brake pads

These alone provide a night and day difference in brake performance both in terms of: inital bite, brake feel, linearity and overall performance. I could not go back to the OEM brakes after testing these upgrades. The OEM brakes are no longer sufficient :-)

For the engine you could also consider:
24. LN engineering deep sump kit (prevent oil surge possible with PSS9 and GT3 sways)
25. Porsche X51 Sport cams
26. Porsche X51 intake manifold

Since you have 19" i did not suggest new rims, but my 18" Carrera lightweights saved about 20lb from the 18" GT3 wheels I had before.
Loosing the spare wheel and obtaining a small compressor and a tire repair kit will save you another 10lb. I did this mainly to increase the trunk size.

how did you mount the big reds?

So did I miss the SC on the list? Look at my list and get that stuff. I now have 30000m on the SC and still going strong. It is a totally different car. Will
