‘93 RSA- Rolling Art - Updated
 
For starters, wanted to thank the RL community and members which have provided great education and inspiration concerning all things air ( and only SOME water) cooled.

After taking her her out on her maiden ( to me at least) voyage—

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...51706b846.jpeg

It was apparent that she was good and near great, but far from what she could be....


So so we started by keeping things simple- focus on improving the driver and sharing the passion for the car.

Up up and down we went——
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...7498b5d63.jpeg

Fast in slow out. Fast in slow out. Fast in slow out. Slow in fast out. Got it.

Driver - improved. Check.


Part 2- Sharing is Caring

First Porsche experience- I’d say Jody liked it;)

Now that we have the proper ethos- the build can proceed accordingly.

I knew that the car needed to feel more responsive and visceral so I began to re-design her from the bottom
up.

On tap tap was a suspension refresh and something to improve the slop of the OEM gearbox.

so jewelry for the bottom—-https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...e1620e9ce.jpeg

And for the top—

More work to do.
Frunk. Rain gutters.
Steering wheel. Wheels. Flywheels. Feels like I am going around in circles;)

stay tuned...

Very nice car, great mods, the shifter is awesome.
interested to see picture and hear your experience on the gutters delete, more people are going that route, just missed the slot deleting my sunroof.
good luck

Project frunk
 
Hmmm.... this doesn’t look right....


https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...83247c6a2.jpeg

Amplifier? C’mon man!! Gots to go!!!

Radio too. But weight, no radio removal tool! Off to
the workshop 😂

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...9627e1025.jpeg

This represents function over function. Where there’s a will....

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...d6039d93e.jpeg
There’s weight loss 👽👽

now for the frunk-

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...985888b08.jpeg

I personally feel faster already.

We can rebuild it. We have the technology.
 

Better. Stronger. Faster.

Ohlins and shifter are art by themselves. very nice. Are these the same Ohlins as used on the singers?

appreciate the kind words.

Yes re: Singer. Wonderful craftsmanship.

It’s a shame they are on the bottom ;)

Very nice build! I love the white with gold e88. Can you post more of the shifter?

So much more work to be done but what an awesome platform the 964 provides!

The CAE practically doubled the fun of the car;

Passion & Purpose
 
Still more work ahead as I prepare to clean up and lighten the frunk—- 35 lb penalty for the Diehard battery is a no go.

Enter Voltphreaks—-

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...4c94b0fa7.jpeg

Sub 6 lbs w on/off and low voltage cutoff. Ideal.

So so that’s the purpose.

Enter passion.

The desire to create art is borne out of An Xtreme quest for a more perfect form. No arguments here:

Welcome MOTEC & Injector Dynamics
 
As we know, Motronic just isn’t sufficient for where we are going. So into the OR she goes—-


https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...723708275.jpeg

All packed up with her lightweight flywheel and away she goes for some Motec loving
