Looks great!

I believe the popping lexan is pretty typical. At least I've heard of it, and I've never owned a car with lexan.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Eric - I'd love to see some vid of your TT conversion on the track!

Geoffrey-

The gearbox is an OEM RS G50/31, and although MUCH better than the stock gearbox, I would agree that it could be shorter (ALOT, even) in 3-6th gear.

BTW- I cant find that post in the 964 forum for that brace you made. Any pics?

Well done Rob, it's a really sweet ride - also makes me wonder what the 9m93RS Widebody would have looked like in Riviera Blue.

It's got a very deep exhaust note.....

WOW that thing sounds awesome wide open!! You should have a mic hanging out the back. Where's the video of Terry driving? He's quite ballsy, i'd love to see him throwing that thing around. Not that you didn't do an awesome job Rob. BTW the blacked out look is great and I have a big empty spot in the shop now.....I love that car. Time to build another one....hint hint.

wow... looks like my in-car video... only faster, smoother and louder. Congrats!!!!

BTW, interested to hear more specifics on the suspension setup. Where did you end up with your sway bar settings and Dampening positions on the JICs? I got some feedback from the guys at JIC, from some other guys with the JIC setup, and have been fiddling all season. Would be nice to compare notes in at least a general sense about where you found the best balance and handling.

Looks like you had a fun time with the car at Sebring. Sorry I couldn't be there for the maiden voyage. Can't wait to check it out at one of the upcoming events. I am sure we can fine tune it a little...

Unfortunately, the video was not running when Terry was driving - I wish it would have been. It was one hell of a ride!

Certinaly had a great time Bob and wish you had been there. Any chance you have the setup specs for Glen above? If not, I'll crawl under the car and take a look for him.
