@Adam & jamscal,

If you read my post, nowhere did I say there was anything wrong with Modding your Car. Just that you need to treat it as an intergrated Unit and that any/all Mods need to be made in that context.

Too often, we see people adding Springs, or upsizing Wheels and Tires, or an AfterMarket Intake only to find a shimmy occur, a MAF Sensor blow, a CEL come on, or some other, less than expected consequence. Often these people have $500 in hand, so they buy $500 worth of Mods, stopping short of seeing it through properly.

All I'm cautioning is to think it through and not to go Willy-Nilly about it. Despite what some may think, there really isn't a great number people here who know more than Porsche does (and a number of people go about a Mod just because it was touted here by someone who may, or may not, actually know what they're talking about), and that applies to a number of AfterMarket Suppliers too. Considering the Time and Expense involved, I think it's appropriate to occaisionally add a word of caution...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
