Default Drove home with a 993TT last night (NEW PICS)

Well.........my own version of one that is.

After 2 years of work I finally drove my project home! Final tuning and dyno runs will probably be done next weekend






I'll take some better pictures once it stops raining.

That should be one amazing ride. Congrats on all your hard work and a great conclusion.

What are your thoughts about downforce without using any rear wing? I'd be a little nervous.

That's awesome. I just got my 964 done w/993TT installed...6-speed and all the trick bits and bobs w/turbos, ecu, etc. Like to see how you are doing the intercoolers as that's what I need to do as I'd like to get rid of the air/air unit so I can run a stock deck lid. Looking forward to more pics. Your car looks evil...

I'll post some pics in the next day or so probably in own thread so not to hi-jack this one...no rear wing on it yet...that's the issue: What to do for a rear wing, but even w/o its a brilliant drive.

Congratulations . I was hoping you did not drop the project for some reason, kept searching from time to time for updates.

This is about to become the fastest street 993 on RL I believe. do you have the final weight of the car? How did you like drivability on your first drive, knowing that the fine tuning is still to happen. What cams did you end up using?

Keep us posted. Fantastic achievement!
