Well I went and did it...ie. parted with a large chunk of change with JZ Machtech and it was worth every penny...work done was:
Performace Chip, rsr exhaust, Chrome Exhaust tips, Bilstein HD shocks, Front Strutbrace.
Car is drives much,much, much better...feels altogther more solid/responsive/throaty/and much faster...dyno reads gave an extra 20bhp which Jonas said was one of the best results he had seen in recent times.
Car effortlessly jumps to red line with smooth power all the way up the curve..where as previously there was a noticeable burst from 4-6000rpm...rsrs also very throaty but keep the 911 "sound" ..just louder when you are really on it and at start up..no resonance on the motorway or any unpleasant sound at any cruising speed..Also had the cailpers powder coated red so all in all very happy with all the mods..except for the financial hit which came to just about �2.5k all in..overall car looks more sporty and drives like a completely tighter/faster one...
Could not recommmed these changes more...or JZ service which was great...bought the parts though..which should just about pay for the extra fuel the car seems to use with the new chip..definately more thirtsy then before..
only regret is maybe not going for the pss9 set up as I was expecting the suspension to be firmer/tighter rounds bends but the replacement shocks are still a million miles from where the old ones were after 60k miles..
Tommorrow she goes for a proper test on the road from Boston to Humber Bridge, which if you have not done it yet is a MUST.. the best I have seen in UK yet except for a couple roads near lockerbie, scotland.
Thanks to all for the recco's along the way...helped a huge amount in making the choices.
All the best,
Mike
