Default Ok, so who has the most beautiful 993 engine?

Ok, we're seeing the outside and inside of these beauties, so why stop there? Let's see what's happening under that rear deck lid? To start the viewing, my vote goes to Jeff of "InTheAir" fame...

I appreciate that, but there is someone here, I forget who, who has an incredible undercarriage, so I bet the engine is just as impressive. I bet g_murray has a great engine bay also.

But, I'll through mine in there (or should I say, my "old" one):



and another view I just took today as it was being picked up for the new owner

Oh boy, look what we've started.

Yeah, Jeff's, I gotta admit, is the best lookin' BLACK cab that I've ever seen (in pix). No wonder he won a prize at that car show last year!

Here's my engine:

(It's a rather large jpeg file -- but there's lot of detail in dem dar pixels.)

the engine is seriously and honestly un-detailed, but the car always slept in a clean garage.
This is the ROW '97 version, so no extra stickers as in the US
picture was taken a month ago for rear spoiler repair thread, ta da !

That's correct.

Dont be surprised by the number of motorsound airboxes. It was the cheapest mod with the most effect for us poor guys! For a couple hundred bucks you gave your car a throatier intake sound which "sounded" faster.
