Skip, I believe it is a factory part, though I know the trim is replica. Atleast that is what I was told, even if it's not I got a very good deal on it.

Geoff I'll send you a PM in a bit.

Tifo, I cannot WAIT to drive it. It's been entirely to long. As for the pins, I dont recall, I'll grab a photo of it when I'm feeling better (sitting in bed right now).

Damn Mike, take a break! The torsion delete and solid diff mount are really going to flatten her out

Might want to consider changing the brake proportioning valve with those new brakes...

Looks really impressive. The first pics of the Koklen torsion bar delete that I've seen where it is installed in a car.

I have some standard turbo brakes for my S, and I thought they were so much bigger than the NA brakes, but when I see the comparison in your pics of the 993 TT brakes vs. std. turbo brakes, well, it's just nuts.

That is going to be a track monster.

Like Joseph, I'd be keen to hear what spring rates you are running F/R...

Great work!

Thanks

I used to drive it year round. 951's in the snow are ALOT of fun. As for spring rates, I'm running 500# springs in the front, but I dont seem to have the rear spring rate in front of me. I've also got 225-300 progressive helper springs.

Very Nice!!!

I'm wondering why the rear hatch is "foggy"...I don't recall lexan normally being like that...

Also, How much DID you spend?

The hatch needs to be cleaned. It's just dirty. In terms of cash, you can go add up the list, but that wont tell you much other than what retail is.

Sure, it was a debate between a new daily, and this stuff. My e30 is running fine, so more mods won out.

I would have picked the parts over another car any day!

Another car is an ongoing payment, new parts are paid for once...

What does the solid transaxle mount do, really? Exactly what the name says?

Tightens up any extra slop or play, keeps the trans from moving around on it's rubber mount. But it also increases noise and vibrations so it's a double edged sword.

I'm curious, are the pins in the Fabcar arms 17mm or 19mm?
Unless the pins are custom, I believe all the official Fabcar pins are 17mm.
