MY97 986 overview

Guys, I just share my experience for the 986 ppl. I bought the car in 2007 and here was my feeling about the about when I bought it from the 2nd hand dealer:

- throttle respond was weak (Fixed the throttle cable)
- High fuel consumption, was 18-23 L/100km (Change the MAF, fuel consumption back to 14-15 L/100km lol
- Tip shifting, 1st-3rd gear r fine, no hesitation, but 4th and 5th gear have slightly hesitation about 2300 rpm with light throttle. No hesitation at all on all gears with heavy load, it's acceptable.
- Suspension: Stock! Didn't change! I think the previosuly owner didn't change it as well. Assuming the suspension has 56000 km on it since new.
- Power Steering, fine! no oil leaking

So far, I love this car, but some minor problems still exisits, e.g. the throttle and break pedal r moving when bumpy on the the road. The suspension is very bumpy that I feel. I can feel the compress problem (I guess).

But I'm not a racer, so any recommendation for suspension option? e.g. keep the old spring, just change the shock into Bilstein HD? or H&R + Bilstein Sport?
