How many of you daily drive a 993 (or other) with a seriously aggressive set-up? I am talking about stiff, low suspension, loud exhaust, 1pc racing seats, etc.

Who is the 24/7 street-racer King? Even if I had the finances to drive a cushy Navigator or S500 I'd still prefer a go-kart for my daily commute

My car sees some street duty and is pretty damn low, rather loud, and has a rollbar, GT3 race seats, Sabelt harnesses, 18" Fikse wheels and a fire extinguisher. The suspension, however, is only a PSS-9 and RS sway bar setup and I don't have monoballs. There are more track-specialized shocks available such as the Moton Club Sports.

That said, I wouldn't by any means call my car the most aggressive set-up that's still driven on the street. I think Bill Walczak occasionally wheels his 993 race car to the office when he feels like gettin' his ya-ya's out.

Hey, that's cheating! It's supposed to be a daily driver

Novice

Stiff? Yes
Low? Sorry

mooty

camber at about 2 deg. PSS9 with monoballs, RSR exhaust, GT3 seats, RS+10mm ride height

FF's red car is pretty "mean"... especially in tunnels

Mine will be pretty much daily driven with:

Suspension-
RSR Coilovers
Monoball/camber plates
Lowered to at least RS height.

Body-
GT2 EVO style

Like that but all Midnight Blue Mettallic.
Manual carbon mirror
Carbon hood
Over 400lbs weight reduction

Interior-
Recaro SPG Racer (driver), SPG (pass)
5 pt Harnesses
Completely stripped of all padding and stereo
Quick release wheel
RS door panels

Exhaust-
Straight pipes (no cat/mufflers). Just cc inserts.

Wheels-
18x10" front, 18x11.5" rear

Tranny-
Tilton twin disc Carbon/Carbon clutch
8 lb motorsports flywheel

Unfortunately I haven't been able to do much to the engine yet . Only carbon heater bypass tube.

Although I'm not "there yet", I guess it's little "mean" but as we can see, Mr. Wong (I think his last name means "I have modified my 993 a bit but not that much really") here is pretty far out there!
Bill was already mentioned and Kim drives his Yellow Zonker quite often etc...

My car isn't exactly a "daily driver" since I commute mostly with bicycle but it's perfect Porsche for street in my opinion, loud, stiff, quite light etc. just as Porsche should be!

My car has:

-PSS-9 Coil overs, Camber plates/monoballs, RS Sways, set up with -2 & -2.5 camber and about 10 mm lower than RS.
-Straight pipes with Fabspeed inserts (no cat, fabspeed supercups).
-Rennsport Chip, Drilled airbox (ok, it's only for sound but it's there anyway)
-No sound deadening, trunk carpet, spare, tools, rear- deck, seats, speakers etc.
-RS door panels.
-Porsche short shift kit.
-Porsche Motorsport steering wheel.
-Sparco bucket seats.

I will take the sunroof off, install Roll bar (or cage) and 6-point harness, RS- splitters, spoiler, flywheel&clutch, tranny, doors & front lid.
Some engine work once it's time to re-build
Plus some other things I forgot now.

After that, I think it will be pretty sweet Porsche!

Pretty Stiff, loud, dirty uncomfortable seats, but not low!

Well, I don't think my car is especially aggressive but I suppose some folk might. Spec is in my sig, drive it every day, 20,000 miles/year. Couldn't stomach the idea of going back to driving the mushy crap that passes for "sports cars" nowadays

I think Princeton is currently leading.

chris walrod

I think he's about to lap us with that Tilton clutch and all....

viperbob

Mine is a pussycat compared to Princeton's, but

Motons for shocks with 800 lb / in front (compared to 250 for PSS9) and 1000 lb / inch rear
TRG sway bars with urethane bushings
Monoballs / Camberplates with strut brace
Little less than RS ride height
LWF with Sachs GT2 1100NM clutch
Carbon Fiber hood / full race flat model (being delivered today)
DAS Rollbar
Short shifter with RS shifter boot / ****
14" front rotors with Ferrari F50 calipers and rear RS calipers
EVO uprights with bump steer kit will be on soon
GT2 front bumper and soon GT2 rear with large banana extension for the track
RS Door Panels (currently sitting next to the car but will be in this weekend. I am considering whether to be a distributor for these so I want to put them on first. I will also be doing a DIY for Robyn's site)


Engine
A couple of larger turbos
Some minor tweeks to the exhaust with no cat, and only 10" straight thru billet mufflers - also no heat for the car
Tiny amount of machine work to the exhasut manifold
A little reprogramming of the ECU with a boost contoller
Slightly larger intercooler
Adjustable FPR
Some hard turbo pipes strictly for safety reasons
Carbon fiber heater bypass
RS fan pulley to save a couple of HP, I need all I can get
new fuel injectors
colder range plugs
slight improvement in spark for the ignition

So weight on the car is also under 3000 lbs.

All in all a very tame car for the street....

Riiiigght...

Wow, it is great to see that the are some serious daily drivers out there! I agree that poorb0yw will probably take the cake, if he gets the car completed as planned. A few of the others don't really seem to be true "daily drivers", more like cars that are sometimes driven on the street. Anyone else out there daily drive an aggressive machine?

viperbob, I'd love to see some pics of your beast! A 3000lb 993TT with lots of power must be about the ultimate street/track Porsche!
