There have been good reports here on M033 + Koni Reds, which I'm sure would make a very fine driving car.

Re-gearing was just too expensive in the scope of the the 2019 refresh. Engine-out service (7k in parts, my labor), a bare-metal respray (15k) and a...

I haven't re-geared but seriously thought about it twice, to fix the 1-2 ratios. IMO the /21 box is how the 993 was intended to drive, the /20 is a compromise.

In retrospect I should have brought...

Springs and wheels are very much a question of individual preference. Mine has had RoW M030 + Bilstein HD for years and 30+k miles and is fine for me as a DD with both 18s and 17s. I've had and...

Very interesting. I put RS engine mounts and a new 96437505581 mount in my 993 in the Spring of 2019, and had a huge NVH problem until I replaced the RS engine mounts with stock. Next time I have the...

Keep in mind that even a substantial side impact won't deploy the airbag, says the man who wrecked his first 993 quite well by sliding into a tree.

The odometer gear is a $25 part that takes an...

Very nice car at a good price, GLWTS!

If you're looking at this one to buy, check out the cost of a re-gear and the price looks even better.

It's easy to change back, so as others have said - if you like it, keep it.

My face isn't pretty but I like it where it is, so split the baby by moving to a 3 spoke GT3 wheel w/airbag.

It's really up there and nearly on the center line of the car, you'll need at least a good set of jack stands to get the back wheels high enough in the air to crawl under the back of the car.

Not so much the size as the proportions. Miata is a good example, look at how the nose and beltline on those has evolved. The new ones are like Conestoga wagons.

Coincidentally I emptied my glovebox to do some work and found that I've squirreled away 3 spares over the years. If you're not already carrying a spare DME, PM me and I'll send you one.
