What did you buy your 993 this week ?

Lots of fuel and a track day at Spa.
 
T-LED kit from Tore/Bergville :) .

New ambers for the front + new fog light units to match the recently replaced headlight lens.

...meaning clear corners + fog light clusters will be available in a few weeks, if anyone is interested...
 
That'll look great, really brighten up the corners..

I went the DIY route and bought Fog Lamp Lenses which I am yet to install to the Fog Units..

Easy Job..? I have a feeling it might not be..
 
Thanks - I've long admired 993s running ambers on the front 8).

Not sure I'll mount this to the 993 as a permanent feature, but had some [stressfully patient!] fun with an exact Arctic Silver colour match wrap on the Rear Centre Section..!

Very RUF I thought.. 8)

What do you think..?

awaiting delivery of front bump stops and dust covers from the 'Homeland".

Replaced old knackered front bump stops and dust covers, not quite as easy as described in previous posts, assistance needed to guide the top of the shock absorber strut back through the upper bearing whilst positioning the hub and brake assembly. I did use spring compressors incidentally.
Attached picture of one of the destroyed front bump stops...58k miles.

I wouldn't go Pagid personally, I tried them years ago on the fronts and they squealed like a pig. Made the same mistake when I changed my 4 discs a couple of years back for Brembo. Discs were fine but the Brembo pads on the front also squealed like a pig. I thought Brembo pads were the same as Textar but not the case. After 3 months I swapped them for Textar and all was fine. I will never fit anything but Textar now.

Same here, never heard such bad Brake Squeal.. Then I changed mine to Pagid and all was good..! But, that doesn't seem to make sense given your experience..

Perhaps it's a Pad / Disk combo issue..?

Could be, my Indy in Q8 told me to always go with Textar on the front and I did that. It was only when I changed the discs that I thought I was doing the right thing to buy matching discs and pads. :frustrated: Over time I've thrown away 3 sets of perfectly good front pads, que sera sera.

Must say your hubs look in great shape very clean :thumb:

Dec as a quick question, do you know what the imprinted triangle is on the N/S inner wing, I have the same and apparently all Porsches have the same, either a square or triangle.
