Another 968 in Santa Barbara CA
#1

Hi All,

I bought a black and tan '94 cab in August '08 and have been lurking around this forum ever since. This forum has been a wealth of information for a first time Porsche owner, and I wanted to say thanks.

Mods I've done so far include the airbox, RSB stage 1 chip, design1 strut brace, leds in the instrument cluster, and overhauled the stereo (kenwood head unit, speakers, sub with amp, bluetooth and sirius)

There was a cab for sale on our local PCA site (www.VIRPCA.org) from Santa Barbara for quite a while and I see it's not listed anymore; wondering if it is the same one?
Welcome to the wealth of knowledge!
Time to answer your first question. I have put in an RSB stage 1 chip this winter but won't be on the road till May [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif[/img] What is your impression of the before RSB chip and after feeling? Does it register in the the seat of your pants? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Welcome...
FYI: one of the best mechanics in the tri-county area is Henri over at Schneider's AutoHaus off of De La Vina St. They're a little expensive and not too quick, but do good work. Unfortunately there are very few that are familiar with the 68 engine & trans, so it's either AutoHaus or the dealer. I do most of own work, but if I don't have the special tools I'll take to Henri. I'm just down the coast in Ventura.

Dave,
don't know about the car being listed on VIRPCA; bought it on consignment from a dealer here in town and was told by my mechanic (Henri at Schneider's) that the PO was also in the SB area.
I ran with only the airbox mod for a few days before installing the RSB chip hoping to better differentiate a before-and-after feel - seems more responsive to acceleration with the chip when passing through 4k rpm

Tks for the info. Just liiving vicariously through others until I hit the road in May. I have done many mods this winter including the air box/chip and I can hardly wait for better weather.
