From: David L Cates; The single best aftermarket product for a southern car has got to be 'Bill Hirsch Miracle Paint' as seen in Hemmings. Rust being the true enemy of Dr. Porsche. David Cates,   Sunny South Carolina.

From: Robert Burn; The most important aftermarket addition for me was a CD ignition system.  When the car reached the end of the warranty period (12K mi) I added a Delta Mark 10 CD system, which plugs in between the distributor and the coil.  About 15 yrs later it died; I replaced it with the latest model from Delts (a Mark 10B I think).  A hotter spark has kept it much smoother under acceleration...

From: bsr; i find the best after market part you can buy , is a third brake light wing looks cool and has a great purpose. brian

From: Dean Klein; Weber carbs of course.   Barring that, good sheepskin seat covers!  The car is damn near perfect as is...just get some warm woolies and drive the tires off it!   I do ;)
Alas, I'm putting my beloved "Bitta" to rest for a long slumber.  I'm off to the South Pole for 14 months, then tramping New Zealand, Australia, and Malaysia.   The task for tomorrow is to hoist her up on
jack stands, remove the Fuchs, put Marvel Mystery Oil in the cylinders,and covering her up.  I'm going to miss her.  Cheers, Dean

From: Trenholme,  Hello. For me this is a simple question, but unfortunately only applies to the earlier 912's. The Felpro valve cover gaskets are the greatest. They absolutely do not leak and take the biggest hassle out of doing a valve adjustment......cleaning off the sealing surface and re-gluing or doing whatever you do to try and get a seal. With the Felpro gaskets there is no cleaning or required glues. Just put them in place and re-install the spring clip and away you go! No more leaks and they are fully reusable. A valve adjustment/check now takes me about 15 minutes tops. I have had my valve covers off at least 10 - 15 times and the Felpro gaskets still do not leak a drop! They go for about $15.00/pair and for that price they might also be the cheapest aftermarket part you can buy as well. They are available from
