working on a set of custom 964ish turbo rockers now...rauh welt style to level out the sides on the car, and possibly a custom ducktail....

next is all new suspension and brakes!

I'm not much of a fan of matte finishes, but your car looks great. Be even better with a high gloss duco IMHO.

RS#007 04-04-2011 03:22 PM

How are those side mirrors? I am about to install mine but am worried about them vibrating like crazy.

turbobrat930 04-04-2011 03:23 PM

thank you bud, i know the car is not for everyone, and i am sure i am going to catch **** for ruining a "930"...but as you can tell i am not a original person...i believe anyone can be original and stock....:(

as for the mirrors...they suck for seeing anything, i got little round convex things you can get at pep boys and put them in the lower corner,..as for mounts...3m tape and they are solid as can be

JJ 911SC 04-04-2011 03:33 PM

Look great...

930chef 04-04-2011 03:46 PM

Rauh welt
 
I love your rah welt style 930. It's kind of no rules, anything goes style , but it came out money.
What kind of power Jim?

I'd be interested in the mirrors if you decide to sell them. I use those on my DP. I attached them with silicone sealer. The Vitaloni Sebring Mach 1 convex mirror is a direct replacement for the flat mirror. Once they are adjusted right (a pain) they work great. I use the convex mirror on the passenger side and the flat on the drivers side.

Busta Rib 04-04-2011 03:58 PM

Jim, that looks nasty (in a contemporary youth vernacular kind of way). Awesome looking build. I gotta get me some of those headlights. :D Thanks for sharing. Digging the Rauh Welt look.

mooney265 04-04-2011 03:59 PM

The car looks great! I like matte-black finishes!!

What make/model are the seats? Thanks

stock 3.3 really...

wastegate dump and exhaust from rarly8...fabspeed intake
new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and timing check and that is about all i did...

trans or clutch is on the way out, i can tell its getting harder to shift through the gears....having to double clutch or rev match sometimes,...hoping to get through the summer before pulling it in the fall for a rebuild

equality72521 04-04-2011 04:17 PM

I personally love it. Can you show me some pics of the Rennline lower dash ends? I want to see in detail how it looks edge on so to speak.

mooney265 04-04-2011 04:21 PM

Help me understand how you could get access to the rear seats [maybe for kids] when those seats don't have hinges?

I'd like to get some, but don't know how my kids would be able to get back there???

Oh. You don't have easy access to the rear "seats"

EmptyGarage 04-04-2011 04:37 PM

Got to say that i really like the looks. The flat finish without being over pimped looks great. the urban backdrop for the photo's gives it a real menacing look. Car would not look the same parked in the driveway of wisteria lane !

i have a full RS carpet kit in the car, i made from scratch, which eliminates the back seats, there is also a roll bar, which eliminates the back seats, and i dont have kids yet, which eliminates the back seats...

but if you still have back seats, the seats slide up and back just like normal seats...but yes,..access is limited...

lucky boys to be riding around in a 930 by the way

i have to say the front end was a nightmare, and has what seems like a million hours of fiberglass work...

bumper is from AIR, and front lip is from AIR...i have heard alot of negative stuff about AIR, but the bumper fit the car almost spot on, and very heavy solid fiberglass work, gel coat was super smooth, quick sanding and primer and it was ready for paint...

problem with all replica bumpers is they are one piece, you cant remove the "under tray", therefore all the front lips do not just "bolt up"...

i have pics of the entire process on my phone i need to upload on the computer, i am away on business but ill get pics up this week when i get home

but i basically but the bottom half of the bumper off to the level and angle i wanted, and then make a fiberglass mold of the inside of the lip, and bolted them together, just like OEM would do...

i do not like 934 flares...and there is a company that makes bigger "stockish" flares...but not sure if i want to go that far with fiberglass

KobaltBlau 04-05-2011 04:15 PM

Looks great. You can fit a lot of tire under the fenders it has. Looking forward to your ideas on the custom ducktail.

Tug68 04-05-2011 04:28 PM
