new posrche (almost)

Hello there,
Just bought my first porsche, had it for 2.5 months now and got the mod bug bad. Its a 2000 c4 millenium edition w/ 26k miles, I thought I would leave it stock, but there are room for improvements I think. Mods so far:
PSS9 4f/3r excellent setup IMO
H&R Sway bars
Gemballa headers, exhaust
Evoms Air Intake (this mod gives pep and sound at higher RPM)

The suspension (psi 36 fronts/ 40 rears, recommended 44 psi seems to jumpy for my taste) and the sound @ around 5000+ rpm is awesome. The Exhaust is not to loud but, screams at high RPMs' . At cruising speed it is a litle bit louder than the stock exhaust.

Future mods... ECU flash? Kinda nervous about this one, I'm thinking of going GIAC such as evoms but here on the NY/NJ/CT side. Any comments on this one?

Changing to Orange Brake Pads... I'm planning to do some DE events.

Thanks for all the posts, I couldn't have made my decisions without this site. I hope I can contribute something useful someday... Cheers! Oh... and here's some PICS

The interior is perfect IMO. Put some nice wheels (GT3's) and remove the bra. Would look great.

Yup, the wheels and the bra have to go.

You should allow look at Pagid yellow pads. They last twice as long on the track.

Interior looks awesome! I just bought a 2002 a week and a half ago and I love it. But your interior is definitley nicer. Do you know if I can add the porsche navigation and add the wood package to it like yours? Ive heard you can but I dont know for sure? How much do you think that would run? The dealership the best place to get something like that done? I'll be posting some pictures later tonight! Just gotta change the photo size in photoshop so I can post them! Thanks!

Thanks Guys,
Nobody likes the bra? I know alot of the 911 guys (used to) have them on, but I was just experimenting on changing the lines a bit. Maybe the bra is to old school for this car. If you look closely you can see a faint white line across the hood (clear bra came with the car, cool).
That first mod I was gonna do was wheels (looked at GT3 Mk1, and mesh in black), but looking at wheel prices I decided to go with performance mod first. But then again... supercharger, HMMMMM? Maybe the GT3 wheels or the yellow pads will be cheaper.

Pagid yellow pads... thanks will look into that one.

The interior is one of the reason why I purchased this porsche, everything is leather, chromium, wood and.....plastic , You can deff, add navigation in your car... but its expensive 4K+. Yours is prob PCMII 16 bit so it's more expensive (and better) than mine (PCMI 8 bit). I just like the amount of information that you get with the Navi. About the wood? I'm sure you can get it, but its a rare option. So you might have to do some digging. Like the bra... some guys do'nt really care for the wood... its more luxury type than sporty type... but the wood feels great while driving.
