Ok, midnight blue it is then.

Im outside the USA, somewhere in Southeast Asia, the track is one of only two in the country. They are both smallish tracks better suited to small, light and compact cars with shorter gearing. Modded Evos and hot hatches post times as fast or even faster than a 993T or even a 996GT2 here.

The TT snorkel is advisable when replacing the automatic spoiler of 993's with a fixed rear wing. This allows the engine to suck in cooler air located higher up near the fixed spoiler's grille and not the hot air inside the engine compartment.

I think its a Porsche foot pedal, not sure since it was installed by the PO.

Will post some rear pics when I get the time to take them.

Track,

Could you please kindly give us your comparison on the handling aspect of the E30 M3 compared to the 993?

Thanks.

Ive only tracked the 993 once, so far the things Ive noticed right away is the the M3 feels so much lighter. Its one of the few cars that you can make adjustments mid-corner and not pay for it. I know I can catch the rear if it does step outta line.

With the 993, you feel the weight behind you and its kinda scary knowing it might just swing around. It is faster than the M3 because it has much more power and better brake feel. I feel that 2WD 993s take more skill and bravery to drive fast, so I need more seat time. 993 is easier to steer with the throttle, but I can really feel the car's weight on long fast sweepers. Thats why I want to upgrade the puny US sways with M030 to lessen body roll.

Both are a blast, thats for sure!
