The only performance upgrades I have are the GSF headers, Fabspeed exhaust and cold air intake. I did have a K27 turbo and bigger intercooler but decided to sell it.

I'm going to be selling my M3 hopefully this year. I'm pretty much convinced I want a 993 but before that I swore it would be a 930. Your car makes me think about that again. Just perfect!

Just remember it takes a lot of work to get it to look like that. I remember my M3 days, I always liked them but they were down on power for me. A few of my old ones...

Whoa. I remember seeing the 'vert on M3F I think, or one like it. Beautiful. Here's mine in full mod mode. I took all the mods off last October (nearly $40k worth) but left the suspension on the car (KWv2, Eibach f/r sways, uuc ARCA, GS RSM). It had CSL headers/cats, ss x-pipe, eisenmann race, Brembo 6 pot 380mm (f), 4 pot 345mm (r), you name it, short of F/I it had it - full Vorsteiner mods.

But, I've owned 2 911s before and have a huge passion for them - not so much the water-cooled even though I owned a 996 before the M3. I love the 930 and also the 993 (in any trim).

Anyway, trust me, when I mod - I mod. I can't wait to begin either of the 2 projects. Like I said, yours really makes me think twice. I really like your 930 A LOT. I've kept the place where you purchased your seats as a favorite place in case I go this route. One question though, how was the fitment with the C2 Turbo bumpers? I had the RUF kit for my SC and it needed a little work.

Here's my car right before I removed the mods last fall - did it because I convinced myself I was going back to another P-car, right after I finished it. Nuts, I know.

Here she is now - left suspension and picked up these HRE 543R from a member on M3F - in the interim.

Exactly what he said.

We did a dyno pull last week with our 930T equipped with muffler delete/Zork tube and our air intake system. 304 RWHP and 330 ft/lbs of torque. Right now we are currently developing headers for the 930T which should increase power by another +30hp and decrease the turbo lag. PM or email Joey@fabspeed.com if you would like more information regarding products for you turbo.


Fabspeed Sport Headers


Here's a quick vid with the Zork tube and air intake system

The 930 sure looks good- I am in the process of doing some of the same, although I may have to pass on the bumpers, I do not want my car too far from original. UNLESS it's easily reversable?

Good job! Love the colors too..... cheers Mike

I didn't have to do any modification to the car in order to install the bumpers, I can always go back to stock if I needed to.

The color combo is gorgeous..It looks great..although I must say the impact bumpers look nostalgic...sweet looking ride nonetheless...
