Looks absolutely fantastic. His "old" tail and splitters are on the way to my house at the moment and will be mounted on my car by next weekend. I'll go a step further and call first dibs on his new set-up! (when he's done with them)
Great guy to deal with by the way..a true gentlemen.

Default "Corrrect" Aero options

I have to say - I LOVE the look of the 3.8 wing and front spoiler. Looks awesome. Great job.

Was wondering, in the interests of not unbalancing handling w/ front/rear changes, is this considered a well matched kit?

Asked a different way, what spoiler options are commonly used front and rear? Assuming I wanted to performance-match front and rear treatments and stay with parts that were factory offered on 993 variants, what are the common choices?

Having seen so many spoilers over the years. was just wondering what matches up best...

Cheers~!

Just out of interest, why did you go for the 964 3.8 RS wings vs 993RSCS wings?

I'm no aerodynamicist, so take what I have to say with a huge bag of salt, but I think the 3.8 RS wing is fine in conjunction with the GT2 front spoiler. The GT2 rear wing is, I believe, slightly wider than the 3.8 wing and would provide more downforce. However, the 3.8 wing contributes less drag than the GT2 wing. For high speed work, I'd rather have more downforce in the rear than the front, but this difference would only come into play at the very highest limits of track driving.

Thanks Mark for the reply.

I've been looking around and noticed that the 993 RS Clubsport wings all seem to have large side air inlets, vs. the wing on this particular car. Is that because, per the above post, it is a 964 wing?

I assume 993RSCS inlets are functional? How do they connect to the intake, if at all?

That is the best street 993 i have ever seen. The flairs are amazing as is the front spoiler and rear wing. One amazing car.

FLAIRS?

Juha: The car is really changed. I think the mods reflect your aesthetic sensibility. I am glad you are having so much fun with it. The GT3 is almost finished as well. I'll send you some pics soon...as soon as the snow melts!

Here are a couple more shot I took tonight:


very nice
thanks for the reply and for sharing the photo's

cheers

Juha-
I saw your sparco steering wheel in another thread and want to get one myself. What size? I know it is personal preference, but do you think it is optimum size for your car?
By the way your 993 looks great.
