LOW TEMP THERMOSTAT
ACF-50 Anti Corrosion, DO THE WHOLE UNDERSIDE , ITS LIKE A MODERN OPTION TO WAXOYLE AND WILL PROTECT ALL YOUR PIPES AND BITS HELPS REDUCE CORROSION .(keep it away from your brake discs though )
Those are probably my top 5 for all owners whether you mod or like stock.
The other things are all very much personal taste and I could give you a list of 50 things to do :floor: from 4" underdrive pulley and IPD throttlebody and plenum to 200cell cats performance wise
and carbon dipped scuttle to full aerokit body wise .
and a long list in between :floor: but I would need written permission for you to spend 10k from your wife before getting into that :floor: :floor:
but looking forward to seeing others thoughts and what a great idea for a thread. :grin: :thumb:
Note I havent even mentioned acid green accents in this post :grin: :thumb:
:floor: LOL - Man i've had 911s for 13 or 14 years and ive never even heard or thought of your Top 5 - WTF???? I bow to your knowledge :worship:
Gummi what? to stop the windows sticking?
Change the Oil? From Mobile 1 (if thats what they still use - no idea, i just give the car to em and say 'due for an oil change?) what does Millers Nano do????
Cold Air induction kit with BMC Filters and a Low Temp Thermostat? You're gonna have to explain both of those too Im afraid??? :dont know:
HOWEVER - i am intrigued but all so please do tell.....
I wont even get started on the rest - IPD Throttlebody -????? :what:
Ha ha ha good stuff.
Cheers

:floor: :floor: Dan, OK a bit more detail from me.
Gummi Pflege is a stick of product avail from ebay , amazon etc. its a roll on and you add a coating around you door rubbers this stops the rubber sticking to the metal and glass on icey days the glass is the worst as it has to drop to open the door and when frozen the motor goes berserk and the glass wont go back up to drive away.
Millers Nano oil 10w50 is the oil advised by Hartech Its a thicker viscosity and helps reduce wear in the flat6 engine thats not very good at retaining oil so when you start the car cold your getting metal on metal with no lube Millers helps reduce this and it also circulates better to lube the parts of the engine that are notorious for suffering oil starvation especially number 4 and 6 which are the most common ones that suffer scoring on the few cars that this happens to but its a good preventative measure to try and ensure yours doesn't become one of the unlucky ones. .
cold air induction kit this is avail from design 911 and others its a smooth silicon pipe that goes between your throttle body and air box replacing the strange corrugated plastic one it comes with a resonator cap this and a bmc sports filter will massively change the way your car breathes if you listen to it its sort of a bit muffled and wheezy do this mod and it sounds some much healthier and adds a few BHP DUE TO MORE COLD AIR IN GIVES MORE BHP.
Low temp theromostat very cheap mod and is designed to protect and add longevity to the engine again recommended by Hartech for these cars.
ACF-50 Anti Corrosion in the old days to protect a cars underside and cables from premature corrosion the cars were waxoyled this did the job but was very messy and if you needed to get at the parts ever was a pain to clean off etc. Bikers were the first to identify ACF50 to help protect their bikes from corrosion as they couldnt really smother them in waxoyle. and it fed down into the car enthusiast market . its a cleaner more modern way to reduce premature corrosion under your car .
Hope those explanations help :grin: :thumb:
I would suggest that all 996 and 997.1 owners did those 5 things as a matter of course.
If you would like me to go into more detail re IPD 82mm throttle bodies and plenums, remaps , 4" underdrive pulleys , 200 cell cats xpipes, valved exhausts etc etc I can but there is quite a lot on the internet and this forum about the benefits of these and only needed if your chasing the locked up power in your engine. There are a number of little things Porsche do to restrict these engine to stop them getting to close to the flagship models some of this restricted power can be quite easily released if you want it to be .Some do and some are happy with the power thats there.
:grin: :thumb: :thumb: DAN LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED A BIT MORE INFO ON ANY OF THESE MENTIONED :thumb:
