as im a serial modder to all my cars, to the detriment of my ever dwindling bank account, and dismay of my better half, what have you done, or do you consider the top three modifications you can do to your 996 for under a "monkey"
mine would be
1st the steering wheel retrimed in alcantara, and perforated leather, and made slightly thicker, with better thumb grips, my reasoning is because you hold/use this wheel more than any other part in your car, and comfort and control is paramount. all for £125.
2nd, would be the sprint booster (fly by wire) accelerator pedal box of tricks, that fits in line with the input from the gas pedal, greatly improving the response times, it does nothing for BHP or otherwise, but DOES feel like you have an extra 50 horsepower. £180.
3rd, the "gundo / PSE hack" to the exhaust box's, it makes your 996 sound like it should have from the factory. from £100-400 depending who welds it, or if you take your box's off yourself. mine was £299 with them doing everything.
over £500
my top 3 would be.
1st, sports seats (if you don't have them) and painted same colour as your car. probably about £700 including buying them and painting etc.
2nd, wheels and tyres, dark science this one, because there are so many variables, but we tend to suffer the wheels the car came with, and not the ones we really like, goes without saying, "quality tyres" from £500 upwards
3rd, ICE, mainly removing the single DIN or the terrible Porsche sat nav, and getting a double DIN unit that has every function, including sat nav, rear camera, Bluetooth, messaging etc, you can get the proper 996 fitting kit (that looks factory) and all associated parts for £750 or less.
mine came with vehicle telemetry and usb/card reader ports etc.
im sure depending on weather you are a style ***** or a performance freak, you list will be different.
I have not included in my list such things as "repairs" or IMS bearings, as I don't consider them to be "modifications" per se"
