Hi Gents

This is a cross post as you might all be interest in taking a look at our new finished 968 Turbo RS Version 2 rear wing

The thread is over on the 944 Turbo Board because I posted in the wrong place by mistake and should have put the cross post over there (sorry): https://rennlist.com/forums/944-turb...d-finally.html

Here are a few of pictures but all of them are in the linked thread above:






C/F center section pictures to follow shortly

Best regards,
Mark and Beni

Nice!

If I had a coupe it'd be on my car!

Awesome!
On the list for my 951. All for a little more than a used 968 standard hatch.

holy JESUS !!





Looks like some 944 guy will be wearing my spoiler not before too long.

This is epic. I am really interested in -

This is great stuff for the 968. Great job!

Saw the photos here and then the rest in the other thread...I don't even know what to say, that's got to be the sexiest rear wing I've ever seen, it's the perfect balance of sleek, aggressive and classy. Well done!

And I can't wait for the photos with the center section fully extended

Important questions:

1: What's this about OEM side and rear trim panels? When I remove my rear wing to install this one, are these panels going to be left in place, and fit together with your wing? Or are they integral to the OEM wing, and have to be replaced as part of yours? I've never taken apart my wing and I don't precisely know what's going on with this :P

2: Will it be available unpainted?

3: How much extra do you think the active spoiler will be, and how much weight do you think the servos will add?

Looks Great! Let's see some pictures of the entire car, engine bay and interior.........

This is reference the matt black painted FRP trim pieces that run around the edge of the 968 hatch frame. The 944 does not have these and instead is fitted with its three piece rubber wing. Our TRS V2 wing fits directly with the OEM side and rear frame trim pieces so all 968 owners do not need these

Yes both FRP and C/F versions however the C/F will not require any further finishing, just simple bolt on.

To be honest we have no idea yet and testing will be a 3 month affair so this will not be available unfortunately this side of summer. We have to look at hydraulic rams vers motors first. Ideally we’d like to use motors but I do not think we will find ones strong enough which are nice and small. Rams are also a lot more durable over the long run. We will keep the progress updated.
Hi Miles, the car is not finished yet and we are missing a few parts so always on the ebay hunt etc. The car currently still has its NA engine fitted but we will drop a Turbo lump in once every other element of the car is completed. We need to fit the KW’s first so when they are on I promise we will post some good quality exterior pictures. Wheels are proper Speedlines with new 993 Turbo Big red brakes and matching discs We still have the OEM 17” Cup 1’s and will paint these Maritime blue to match so we can swap between.

Thanks to all for the great comments which are much appreciated

Best regards,
Mark

Do you think it would be worth us doing a similar one for the cab? I've only ever seen 1 other aftermarket spoiler for the cab.

We could also integrate a third brake light into the spoiler using the 993 cab bridge lens which we could adapt to fit.

I LOVE the cabs and we will definitely buy one soon as another project but the OEM brake light just looks like an afterthought which just has to be deleted. I guess we are lucky over in Europe as they are not required.

Gregg, I promise very soon mate Just let us fit the KW’s first and bolt up the MO30, 993TT big reds and a discs and that will complete the exterior look nicely we hope.

I'm not a huge fan of the Techart spoiler, mostly because I think it needs to have the splitter to balance the look, and my car is lowered and I'd hate to have it damaged.

I guess I just have to buy another coupe like so many other people have-a coupe and a cab. Certainly Rader's coupe would look nice next to my cab-Jeff would explode if I had a speed yellow coupe and cab combo! Just in NJ we have Steve Z with a speed yellow cab and cobalt blue coupe, and Raj with the alpine white Turbo S replica coupe and riviera blue cab. I'm the underperformer!

Excellent.
The 968 coupe looks naked without the turbo look wing.

The 996 Turbo rear wing hydraulics/microswitches has been a bit of an issue; replacement is around $2K when it fails.

My guess would be, given the fact that speed is not an issue, that a small DC (planetary) gear motor would be an excellent choice for your application.
Plenty of torque, easy to mount, easy to control direction (simple wiring).

IMHO, probably a better path to pursue before committing to hydraulics.

Thanks Lewis and yes we will look down this route but a planetary DC gear motor might still be a little on the big side - We'll do some more research and agree that this is definately a cheaper option.

Beni has alot of experience with RC planes so we will also evaluate that route also
