3.6 Carrera update #1
 

Today I finalized the last component for my project. Everything is now on its way over here, where in 1w (give or take 2 days) we'll start putting everything together.

Here is what we'll do to my Carrera:

- 1997 Euro 3.6 Varioram
- Timmins conversion kit
- Carbon Fiber heat tube (I thought it looked neat) :p
- Dual in - Dual out stainless steel IG exhaust + cat
- RSR g50 clutch upgrade
- K&N cone filter kit (looks nice plus it's easier to fit)
- IG custom chip
- Setrab 72 row oil-radiator kit (center mounted)
- Bilstein Sport
- 21mm TRG hollow front t-bar
- 30mm TRG hollow rear t-bar
- TRG front and rear adj sway bars
- Elephant racing plybronze bearings
- Monoballs
- TRE 934 style front bumper
- TRE IROC style rear bumper
- 930 steel fenders
- 930 rear flares
- Lindsey Racing 9.5s and 11s Fuchs
- Brembo GTPs brake kit
- Guard Transmission LSD

I think this is it for the moment. I wanted to thank everybody on the board for helping me spending an insane amount of money on a perfectly good car...
It's time now for me to give back a little... :D so I will keep you posted on how the work proceeds.

Excellent! You will not regret it.

I'll grab some popcorn, you got my attention. Take lots of pictures!

That's going to be one cool car! :cool:

Yeah, no kidding! How about some pics of the before? :D

Care to share what the total bill is pre installation? I am close enough I may have to come up for a ride when that is done!!

Looks like fun. Look forward to the pics.
I see what you are runnig for the front of the car The TRE 934 style front bumper
But what are you running for the tail?

Sounds great! Any "before" pictures? I want to see the fenders you are stuffing the 11's under!

Which exhaust is this? If it's the factory cat with tips....get some ear plugs. I'd have to say that getting the exhaust right was probably the toughest part of the conversion. Mine is still evolving.

Sounds like an incredible project. Will stay tuned!

Let's say that I could have bought a 95 993 coupe for the price of the parts. then again I will be able to recoup some of the expenses by selling the parts I am upgrading.

I am going to run my Carrera tail.... We'll see on the track if it is not enough. The original 934 was running the early turbo tail, which is quite similar to the Carrera one.

The tips have been custom made. I wanted to avoid the noisy factory option. Stay tuned, I will tell you how it sounds

I am going to have 930 flares welded on the rear fenders. 11s should fit ok.
Taking the pics today made me wonder if I am doing the right thing about going widebody... The car looks really really sharp and classy as it is....

And of course you are more than welcome to pop around for a ride!

Cool! I've done much of what you plan already - enjoy the ride.

Chris

Are you doing rear flares, but not fronts?

Jack
I am replacing the pair of whole front fenders with 930 ones.

Then I can't find anything to criticize at all. It'll be an awesome, one-of-a-kind beast.

Well if I have your blessing I am on the right track...

Indeed it will.
Its funny - it turns out that Matteo & I are doing the same project with the same exact pieces! Been e-mailing with ideas..... and sharing the insanity.....

Cheers,

Well

Craig you have the RS cams on me.... but wait for another year... I have a couple of aces up my sleeve....

What a fun project! Keep us apprised with plenty of pictures.

Geeeez, save some stuff to do for later instead of doing it all at once. You're gonna be bored after that. ;) (I think you forgot about the ruf/flush mirrors too he he)

Seriously, that will be one cool car, especially w/ the 934/IROC bumpers
