More updates please? :)

Thatcher 03-21-2010 07:29 PM
I threw the 18x9 18x11 Kinesis K28's on Roberto's car just for fun. I also took apart a bunch of Fikse wheels I had laying around to make a set (FM5's on one side of the car and FM10's on the other side)

Geez, I hope the carpet pieces are labeled!

Bit off topic, and I apologize, but what do you torque the wheel center fasteners to? I hoping to remove the wheel centers on my Fikse FM-5's to clean and polish the area between the spoke and rim, but leery to do so. Do you need a special fixture to mount the centers to rims to insure perfect centering?

Thatcher 03-22-2010 10:43 AM
Dave - you won't need any special tool, the center fits in perfectly. You'll want to re-torque them in a star pattern to 17 foot pounds, no more.

That carpet kit doesn't look like it is correct for a 993

NoLift911 03-22-2010 10:47 AM
What type and where did you get the foam - doing the same on mine now.

3M adhesive?

The carpet kit is liken to the Rubic's cube....

I got the foam at a local foam supply store.. it's just quarter inch foam that's good for sound deadening. If I had to do it over again I would have used a different type of insulation instead of the foam I used. Yes, 3M spray adhesive.

Thatcher 03-23-2010 07:24 PM
here's the latest..

I installed the carpet kit yesterday and finished it up today. Mounted sidemounts and sliders on the Pole Positions, threw them in the car. I've still got some finish work to do on the interior, but it's getting close!

Thatcher 04-11-2010 09:40 PM
Latest progress.. Ralph and I installed the KW V3's, Tarett drop links, Walrod bushings, and TRG sways. I think I'll have to get RS rear drop links, the tarret drop links don't seem to be long enough to be used with the KW V3's and TRG sways. Right now the biggest hold up is a missing oil cooler bracket.

Great looking seats.

Bill Verburg 04-12-2010 10:09 AM
I'm not sure what the tang on the shock body looks like but for JIC you need to use long tangs and RS curved drop links

here you can see the RS drop link secured to the incorrect short tang, the required long tang is below

Damn Thatcher this thing is sick!

Definitely on my list of future projects! Not sure I'd do much differently, maybe in black?

Carry on, well done!

MrPerkles 04-12-2010 12:32 PM
what a beauty,where can you buy those recaro seat covers ?

Whtnkls911 04-12-2010 09:28 PM
Thatcher,

It looks amazing! Congratulations your hard is paying off. I will have to drop by the shop to see the finished product.

My seats arrived thanks to my good friends @ Recaro. We did leather Pole Positions with silver double top stitch, silver logo, and charcoal alcantara inserts.

I bolted on some of the body panels, cleaned and waxed all four wheel wells, and built a set of 18x9.5 18x11 three piece twists. I've also got a set of 18x10 18x12 Kinesis K28's with slicks coming, they should be here tomorrow. I still have the 18x9.5 18x11.5 RH 3.6 turbo wheels but I put them up for sale, the rear outer lips aren't wide enough for my car. Also building a set of 18x9.5 18x11 "Supertwists".. Supercups on one side of the car, 3 piece twists on the other side of the car, purple centers all around. Kinda different.

Are those FRH wheels? I have17 x 7.5 x 9s on my 86 turbo and want to go wider. Are hoops available?

Thatcher 05-05-2010 05:59 PM
I can sell you replacement hoops if your wheels are 40 hole :)

here's the latest.. it's close. gotta prime and paint a ducktail that i picked up in LA over the weekend

What's up with that motor?

Spacers under the manfold? Why and are they for low end?

What is the source of the throtle bodies?

Hard ducted to fresh air?

DV 993tt 05-06-2010 07:11 AM
How did resolve the droplink issue?

RSR sprint configuration. I assume the spacers were for top end as the redline is 8800??
The intake is set up for ram air. Connects to the 2 inlets on the side of an RSR tail.

rattlsnak 05-07-2010 09:53 PM
great job. looks similiar to one we did at the shop. we just did the outside however..

Nice.. supercup wing and everything. I like it, it's different.

I would die for that RSR motor.

Here's the latest, it's really close to being on the road. Painted and installed a ducktail that I picked up in LA a few weeks ago from Peter at Rennspeed. I'm really liking the ducktail...The 3.8 RS tail just wasn't me. Installing fender liners today, new custom rear drop links front Tarett Engineering, and a few other details. Getting different tires put on the twists today.. going with 295/30 rears and 245/40 fronts... so narrower in the rear and wider in the front. Pictures:

hey my pleasure. For now the motor will remain a stock 3.6.. if I do decide to keep the car long term I'll do something with the motor for sure. We will see. They want to do a full feature in a couple of months as a follow up to the build feature.

yes, in this month's Eurotuner.. it's a build feature in the Garage Life section. I have yet to see it.. just heard about it.

I absolutely love the way your 993 turned out! It is an absolute dream for me. I too would love to see a vid. Great job! more pics please :D
