Been lurking, finally bought a 986!

[alanqning]

Not much of a ppi, I wasn't too worried with a 49.5k mileage car.

I will talk to my mechanic about the IMS while doing the clutch. I'm going to go a step above OEM for the clutch probably.

I wasn't planning on driving it during the winter really... I feel like I would get in trouble..

The paint is pretty good, no hail damage and any scratches can be buffed out. I feel a Chicago winter would be too harsh on paint?

Current check list to budget for:

Struts
Bushings (if need be)
Brembos
Tires / Rims
Headers
Exhaust

I want to be stupid and put a turbo in it in a few years... pushing 5-10 psi only though.


Any other considerations if I wanted to drive in the winter? I do have the hard top that came with the car!
