993 c2 rsr clone build - photo intensive

[group911@aol.co]

You really need one of these

[911st]

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]

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.

great job. looks similiar to one we did at the shop. we just did the outside however..

[Thatcher]

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:

Love the ducktail, perfect understated touch IMO

[MrPerkles]

[911Freak]

+100 in the need for video!

Thanks again for sharing the metamorphosis with us, some day I'd like to build a 993 GT2 and now I have a good road map to get there! Bad a$$ Thatcher

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.

Thatcher-

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

[Thatcher]

Thanks - I'm finally driving the car.. it's been a blast so far. Finished up some interior detail work yesterday, have yet to take pictures of the interior though. Here are some shots from the other night

[Jeff Alton]

Great looking car and a nice looking build!

But seriously, dig through your wheel inventory and make it look *right*

Cheers

[herman maire]

That polar silver is seriously F'ing NICE...... WOW . I love the night pic.

How would you compare it to your M3 ?

Thanks

[onboost]

Looking good Thatcher!!

awesome car, 3.8 RSR wing suits it better IMO.
