Cant wait to finish it. Obviously started with the easy part first. Now comes the fun...







After tabling the second half of this project for almost 7 months, I finally started the rest of it on Monday and finished it last night. I have a few other updates I'll share soon.

A few other other updates...

The car previously had KW V3's on there but I decided to replace them with KW V3's that are 993 RS specific. For a full breakdown on the differences and why I switched, see this thread.

I also decided to switch all of my top mounts (front/rear) over to factory RS parts. Some of these were on backorder for well over a month. Main reason I did this is purely RS evocation.


If anyone was ever curious about what is different about the rubber gasket for the RS top-mounts or why there is an RS version, here's your answer. They have notches in the rubber to accommodate the nut positions. Standard gasket pictured for reference.

Rear RS top mounts aren't pictured here but I picked those up as well. I'll be listing the Elephant front mounts and Rennline rear mounts for sale (zero miles on both).

Great job on the steering wheel. I never liked the RS wheel but you changed that.

Really trying to chip away at this thing, even if it's just a few turns of the wrench each day. Some progress each day is better than months of no progress.


Coilovers installed and factory 993 RS strut brace too. Love the look of factory RS parts.

Attention to detail is very impressive. Very clean and correct.

I can’t recall, did you do anything to the engine / tranny?
