Upgrade Guide for a Driver Focused Porsche


Listen Later

You bought a Porsche because you want a car that feels alive on the road. This episode gives you a simple plan to turn that car into a true driver focused machine. Will and Derek break down the upgrades that matter, the ones that do nothing, and the traps new owners fall into when they start buying parts before they even drive the car.

You will hear what actually improves feel, control, and confidence across multiple generations of 911, Boxster, and Cayman. No hype, no wasted money, just real experience from two guys who have owned and driven these cars for years.

In this episode you will learn:

• When to use PPF, when to skip ceramic, and how to protect your paint the right way

• Which exhaust changes add character without making the car miserable

• Why a short shift kit and fresh bushings can transform older gearboxes

• How to clean and service the pedal box for a better clutch feel

• What steering wheels work on older cars, and why some modern swaps fit and others do not

• How PIWIS steering profiles change the feel of newer cars

• Why Michelin PS4S tires are the best all round choice

• Why old rubber with “good tread” is still unsafe

• How suspension fades over time and why fresh dampers can bring a tired car back to life

• When corner balancing and a proper alignment change the way the car responds

• Simple seat repairs that make the car feel new again

If you want sharper shifts, better turn in, more grip, and a cleaner connection to the chassis, this guide gives you a clear path. Follow these steps before you spend big money on unnecessary mods.
