Here is the new steering wheel, Momo Competition. Leather with a suede upper portion. I like the feel over the stock 3-spoke. Its also a shorter radius than stock, partially obstructs the view of the temp gauge...but nothing a headtilt dosent cure.

Here is the fire extinguisher. The bracket is made by Stable Engergies who also makes these for other model Porsches. The extinguisher is a Amerex Halotron dry chemical. Leaves no residue in the event that i ever do need to use it. This is a great bracket because it moves with the seat, while others restrict the foward movement of the seat a great deal.

Added in some dummy switches today. (yes they do nothing!) I dont got NOZZZZZZ or anything.

"What do those switches do?"
"ehh....its a secret."

Here are the speakers, Blaupunkt PCx462 4x6's in the front and Blaupunkt PCx652 6.5's in the back.

Took out the old Blaupunkt cassete deck and put in the Blaupunkt Casablanca CD51. Was a pain in the ass getting the wiring harness and speaker wires to fit. I recommend putting in the DIN slot first, then tucking the wires under it if you are having trouble getting everything to fit.

It looks great at night. Sound quality is noticable better, much clearer and the sound dosent become distorted at high volume.

Interior is in great shape for a 15 year old car. Seats are made by Recaro and are really very comfortable. Hold you in place well during those high speed manuvers..not that i do any of that stuff.

Im currently looking into purchasing white face gauges, but still debating it.

Before you buy a Turbo, I suggest you try an 88 924S Club Sport with M030 suspension and 5 speed. That car is a lot lighter than a stock 924S and has 160 hp. It is simpler and cheaper to maintain than the Turbo. I am running 6" telephone dials in front and 7" ones in rear with 215/60 X 15 V-rated Yokohama ES100. The car is a blast, especially in turns.

I read that you're thinking about getting white guage faces...check out speedhut.com. You can customize your own dash. It's pretty sweet!!
