Awesome job and a wonderful result - congrats.
Thanks for taking the time to document the project as you did. It certainly makes a terrific contribution to the already rich archive of 993 information contained herein.
Have fun with her and report back.
Cheers,
Bob

For those curious, I took the car to Viper Bob's home today to tie up some loose ends, and while I was there we weighed the car...2835 lbs. 3/4 tank of gas. Goal is 2700 pounds and after talking with Bob, I think we have a solution to get it down to 2700.

Lovely work, nicely done.
OT: Can I just say, as far as weight reduction is concerned, the other week I saw a really fat bloke spend £1200 having an RS rear screen installed in his car to save weight! I had to laugh.

Great project!!
Has for weight reduction, I would opt for carbon fibre hood and fenders. Even though lexan is nice, I've herd it was scratching up very easy.

Yes Rob stopped by today and all I can say is WOW!!!! Now he brought me this car a few weeks back (after he only had it for a week) when I put in the rollbar, seats, and harnesses. Since that time though, what a difference. It is not the same car.. The paint has been detailed to the point where it is a mirror. The CS spoilers and wheels are so SWEET. Overall, a truly fantastic project... Oh and on the car was on a little bit of an incline, so the corner weights are not 100% accurate, but the overall weight is...

Pics of the Offset TAch from NHS below. I tried to get a shot of the tach without the reflection of the red belts in the car but it was a no-go. Also, I was under the impression that when I sent in my tach for the exchange that NHS could set the redline anywhere I desired. This was not the case, so the 7400 redline is the only option available form them on the 993 tach....which gives me an excuse to match the engine performance/redline to the tach next Spring...
