Just noticed you sold an '02 S to get into your 993, same year / model of Boxster I had lol. My advice on the 993 for what its worth:
-Use Rennlist as your resource (pay the $18 yearly charge if you want, not necessary but good karma imo), the guys there are great as long as you are cordial, if not they'll let you know quickly.
-buy a copy of the "993 Essential Companion"
Amazon.com: Porsche 993 Essential Companion: Office Products
-Hold off on modding until you've thoroughly researched, keep all removed stock parts.
-Use Sunset Porsche in Oregon for OEM part purchases, great people and prices.
-Use FD Motorsports for other purchases, also great people and bend over backwards to help out.
For me the best / most worthwhile mods done:
-New Bilstein HD Suspension with MO33 Springs, lowered the car and transformed the handling, I didn't know how worn out the original suspension was. Install Walrod bushings in the front control arms also if doing this.
-FD Motorsports Fister Stage 2 exhaust, nice growl without any hint of drone.
-HID headlight kit 35 Watt from DDM Tuning
-CocoMats floor mats, very cool looking and indestructible
