Default New Carbon Fiber Induction System

But not for a 993! Nevertheless, this still a bit rough prototype is of one piece construction, is not autoclaved and weighs appropriately 1500 grams.

We might but eventually uou trade a bit of stiffness for weight and this one is already 25% lighter than the previous version.

I would have a hard time deciding what to do with this.. put it on a car, on the wall, or in a glass case...

Total and utter car geek ****...
