Your car looks stunning, you have very good taste.
Thanks for sharing the information on your mods. Can't believe this is "only" stage one...
Looking forward to more stories on your future adventures with Claudia!

2,760 lbs. Sweet. How did you get it there Kai? I think 2,750 is the target for an aggressive car that can be tracked on occassion, but that can still be enjoyed on the road almost daily 
. Is it sans AC?

Jeffie balanced her to a 185lb driver before I lost these last ten pounds, not at 175!
The hard work begins this fall, but I honestly believe the A/C must remain. This particular car will never be raced in true anger although I do see higher level DE and TT stuff in her future.
The next build phase will run her out of any logical race class anyway. I'll make my money mistakes on this car and buy someone elses to race E Stock.

Perfect!
I've driven a 993 that had a LWF/Cup clutch and was re-geared by Jeff with similar ratio's; it was/is, hands down my favourite modification. I recall changing gear just for the heck of it. Incredible fun.
I like Fikse but it's nice to see something a bit different too, Jongbloed's look great.
Thanks for sharing ~

1st - 3.50 (stock), 43mph (12/42)
2d - 2.25, 66mph, (16/36)
3d - 1.684, 89 mph (19/32)
4th - 1.286, 117 mph, (21/27)
5th - 1.04, 145 mph, 25/26)
And yes, the R/P remain 3.333
Speeds are calculated with smaller diameter 17" - I'm actually running 18's so they come up a bit. The gearbox is fantastic, never missing a sweet spot and downshifting is an absolute no-brainer, blip and yer there already with the LWF.

The sight (and SOUND) of that red rocket as it rushes by must have the neighbors talking!

Beautiful car. I have the same Heigo half-cage on order, been waiting almost 12 weeks now, they keep promising delivery dates then letting me down.
Which front splitter do you have?
