First of the comments,

So I have had my 930 less than a month and I have already heard three times,
" I had one just like it"
and then the
"I do not remember the flares so big" or something like that
Me "all Turbo's had big flares"
then" mine was not a turbo"
Non-Porsche people, 911's from 65-89 are all the same.

This even includes some insurance companies - USAA does not recognise a 911 Turbo or 930 . . . even though my VIN indicates that the car is a real Turbo, USAA calls it a Carrera (I even called and talked to a rep about this - no help) . . .

No pics = no proof.

I also have usaa, and mine is indeed listed as a turbo, have your rep ck again, but it's prolly cheaper.

WOW, thanks for the info, and I will follow up on that - last I checked was when the policy was new (about five years ago or so) . . . I looked into it when I got insurance cards that read "carrera" . . . at the time, this worried me that I had an "imitation 930", but I checked the vin via the guidelines in Bruce Anderson's book and it is indeed a 930 . . . strange!

If authenticity is a question, don't go by ins co, Get a cert of authenticity from Porsche .

Unfortunately the car is awaiting a clutch cable from Ruf and so I only have a shop pictures now.

some fun details,
German Bosch CDI boxs and coils for the twin plug heads.

You guys are familiar with these brakes but they really impressed me.

The COA that came with my car also had a letter with it from PNA saying if there are any changes you want on it, send it back and they will give you another one with your requested changes on it.

So true about the brakes - the only other brake set-up more eyepopping than the 930's, which I have experienced, were those on my Ducati 748R racebike . . .

RUF Clutch cable???? Does it have a RUF 5 Spd??

Yes, I found out the hard way that a 930 cable is an inch and a half to short.
I like the 'dog leg' 1st and the gears are spaced very nicely.
it also has Ruf P&C in 3.4L but the heads were done in this country by Andial.
It actually drives much like a regular SC of the same vintage when off boost.

Very nice...
Man am I jealous of that 5 speed RUF transmission...

[b930]

Awesome.

Since it's a Ruf conversion, it may well have started life as a Carrera, I wouldn't worry about it. Re the insurance, I was going to run mine thru my USAA policy but they suggested I utilize collector car insurance with their partner American Collector. It's a fair bit cheaper too fwiw.
