Default Speedball 964 (Speedster gets 993 TT power)

Excellence magazine (issue #221, Oct. '14)

"....As the car moved further and further away from stock, the two talked about what was needed to give it some much-needed edge. That, of course, was more power. The thought of swapping in a VarioRam engine from a 993 was tossed around. That idea changed when Dakarmen acquired a wrecked 993 Turbo...."

I love the hardtop, just like a hardtop convertible E46 M3 looks so good.

on that car it makes it look "al capone-ish" with it being so low.

I love this build, plus a ducktail!

Only thing I'm not sure about is the cutout and red part on the trunk.

Having just sold a 964 Speedster I'd say that they look better stock and defo need the roof to go down...has got me thinking about a 993TT conversion though....

Incredible built and great looking car. I would look for a standard console and a more Porsche steering wheel like a 993 RS or Momo Prototipo.

Wow. With no top, the induction & exhaust noise must be incredible.

Amazing car!

Love it!

Any thoughts on value?

Would stock speedster be worth more?

I like the hardtop, but not the duck or the red. 993TT is a win!
