At that price, it would be worth it to sell the TT engine and build it to a NA class. Not certain where a lightweight NA widebody would be classified?

It is a fabulous deal for those who are thinking of building a track car. TT engine or not.

It could run in G class if the weight were put back in and the engine and tranny changed back to stock. Not sure about the AWD deletion, though, which is definitely a question for a PCA scrut.

NASA GTS would be a good racing class for that car. I say buy it!

You would have to have the stock uprights (no Evos) and the 4WD parts in place, but I see no reason that the front driveshaft could not be disconnected.

Damn Colin, it's hard to pay attention to your posts, but I believe you're correct. It seems Tim HAS been running it in GTS.

anybody think the potential buyer may be inheriting substantial problems, hence the low price?

No. I think the low price reflects the specialist nature and narrow appeal of this kind of car.

I too have looked at it a few times. I don't think the TT motor will push it to GT, it's the short gears. I think you could get away with this as an old "C" car since a 4S was a TT without a TT.

Yeah, it doesn't match up with much of any race class. Know what, though? (And I'll caveat again, IF it's a good car.) Guy gets into this for, realistically, less than a warmed over stockish 993 DE prepped car ends up costing. If the racing bug truly hits, get your feet wet, then move it along to another new up-and-comer. Assess where you stand vis-a-vis rules, experience, talent, your budget. Bottom line is that you probably have NOT spent that much to run the car for a couple of years worth of events, AND you'll be able to sell it for pretty much what you bought it for.

It is not even close to a C car: evo uprights, short gears, non stock turbos, promotive ecu programming, electronic boost controller.

Why are evo uprights not PCA Stock legal. Should they be legal considering all of the 9x6 and 9x7 allow GT3 parts now.

It is changing a suspension component that is not allowed for in the rules. The GT3 parts were allowed because of reported failures in the stock parts.
