Post Tale of the 3.8 RS Tail...

Had the RS tail for 9 months, the romance was off. I wanted something different. I was browsing through e-Bay about a month ago and spied a 3.8RS tail, although not offered on a 993, it was close enough to a 993 Club Sport tail...I had to have it. In went my bid..bottom line I win. The seller was Cory Jump from Planet9eleven in OK. The product arrived as advertised. Off to the paint shop, West Coast Specialties, Inc. in San Diego for a little tlc. A few days later, voila, spoiler mounted and away I went. While there I had the dreaded door stop repaired and a new windshield installed. The wallet was lighter...but I am very pleased with the job West Coast Specialties Inc. performed. They do incredible work at fair prices. It is a family owned and operated business. Check them out, ask for Ryan, the Manager. I receive no renumeration for this endorsement. <img src="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/Dscf0137reduced.jpg" alt=" - " />

Wow Martin, Car is looking Sweet. Very Modern Aesthetics! Wheels make it look sort of 993 2001 model if that makes sense. Anyway, nicely done.
Sincerely,
Glen

I am really looking forward to the upcoming POC event. It will be the first time I have had the car at Willow with race seats. I won't have to fight staying in my seat!

Kary and I will be dialing in some down wing angle looking for some down force. It will be a great weekend!!

Looks great Martin. I just test fitted my AIR GT-1 wing last night. Can't wait to have it painted to match.

Martin that wing looks great! Update the board after your first run with it and let us know how well it works.

Hey Martin, nice fin back there! If the wing is adjustable it will make a huge difference on fast corners.

Did you sell your RS tail already?

Thanks for the kind words...I placed an ad on Rennlist for the 993RS tail and it was sold in a matter of days. I hated to part with the tail, but having the RS tail in the garage would blow my cover story of having traded my RS tail for the 3.8RS tail. I added up what I spent on the car in 2002...you don't want to know. Wifey knows so I have to be real careful with "improvements". Thankfully, I now have the car just where I want it (with the exception of the G-50 32 tranny and the Porsche Motorsports LSD, ior a Guard LSD <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ).
