I am getting very excited

New suspension gets ordered next week (KW V3) and new exhaust goes on when the car gets out of the shop

Then the car goes over the Carb Conn for DYNO tuning and get some more power out of it!!! it hasn't been tuned in FOREVER!! I have a unichip computer in the car and we can dial it in how we want to.
Great choice on KW V3, I should be getting a set for my 993 next week.

KW V3's are badass. Still very streetable, but you can do pretty much anything you want to do with them.

you thought about going to 3.8 with the car apart? you could probably have that done while the car was in paint and assemble it all at the same time. it would kill most anything with that kind of setup, and you have the connections to "not" have to pay $25K for the difference.

Yes i have been thinking about the KW Clubsport also, but just going to stick with the V3 and my mono-ball bushing..

3.8 is a thought for the car, but it will happen a little ways down the road

Thanks Chris.. We should have a good idea where the car will be at later this week. The plan with the shop is to have the whole car ready for paint by week end.

Thought about the S/C , but I think I will lean towards doing a 3.8L S motor instead

Good choice... I love the feel of NA engines (though you cant deny the sheer power of FI). The 3.8S is so smooth, I love the powerband... And as you saw on Joe's dyno, a few bolt ons can make some very good power...

Should be fun!!! See you Weds (I'll let you tonight where we are going).
