987 Shifter, Momo Steering wheel (at the cost of the drivers airbag) but so much better. Underdrive pully. NO more bleeding PS pump.

Crios muffler mod and one touch roof module.

For me, I’ve enjoyed the cat-delete project, but still #1 on my list is the OBC and CC activation that was possible due to my new, good friend Dwight’s (pdwight) superb harnesses. Dwight - don’t work so hard!

GT3 console delete. Might not be for everyone but it has transformed the car for me. Both comfort and heel-toe ability improved immensely.

I just finished the 9x7 shifter upgrade. Best $100 “mod” I’ve come across. Do it! I replaced the knob with the “classic” aluminum knob from Function First. (Available from forum sponsor Pelican) The boot was worn, so I ordered up a replacement from Redline Goods. I got blue stitching on black leather and it looks awesome with my Metro Blue interior. Very happy with how it came out. Smoother shifts...a small ~15% reduction in throw...zero “notchiness.” I can’t say enough about the improvement over my old shifter.
It’s part number: 99742401000 easy to find new or used.

It's a tie between the Comfort Top relay and the 3-4 stalk OBC upgrade.
(the double din Pioneer head unit is a close third)

For me, installing the 997 GT3 Shifter. Made the car feel like a new one. Nice positive shifts with a shorter throw .

For me, after 10 years of driving my S 987.1 the best two (most noticeable) mods were:

In chronological order
1) Adjustable coilovers (compression/rebound)
2) OS Giken LSD

The coilovers are amazing as you can lower the car without getting stiffer ride for the street and the LSD transforms the car completely.

Now that I no longer have the 987.1 these are my goals for the 981, so all I need to is start eating ramen noodles every day and start saving..

PS: The 3.8 LN Nickies & pistons were next on the 987.1 list, but somehow my destiny changed..
