David-- A friend at Porsche Cars North America investigated, but says their 911 Sport Classic wheels aren't offered here in the U.S.

I'd appreciate anyone getting me in touch directly with Germany's Porsche headquarters regarding any management who'd like to see their new 'Fuchs' on Speedy.
Please PM me or respond on the "Rennlist/ PCA member's 993 SPEEDSTER" thread (where David first recommended Fuchs!).

V-- Speedy's beaming from your compliment, good sir.

Best to ask Rennlister Princeton Wong, poorb0yw, about his engineering feat directly. He's resurfaced on the 993 Turbo Forum in the last month or two. His custom Turbo is a deservedly Rennlist legend.

For others: Nearly endless drool-worthy photos & discussion back on page 9 of this Speedster thread, when we discussed 'stealth' turbo intercoolers for a Speedster

"TT project: Cooling system update and other stuff"

"Fabrication coming to an end? (+full car pics)"

"Drove home with a 993TT last night (NEW PICS)"

Two of the oil feed lines.

Neat view of the underside of my car.

I once contacted a FL eBayer who had a windshield with antenna, frame mounting points, humps & cable from a 1994. He had already sold 'em to a customer in Germany for $10k USD.

Mounting points:

Viggo-- +1! That does sound nice. Can't wait to see 'em in person!

Big kudos to any RLer that helps make that a reality for Speedy.

In the meantime, a motivational shot of a(n Arena) red beauty, Scott's 'Cahrera' by Justin Dipietro...

Here's my last photo of this specific Speedster FS. Fitting: it may have sold... above link's no longer functional. This link -- mobile.de's Porsche 993 Speedster WTL WLS 89,950 EUR -- currently yields errors when clicking anything for further information, photos, etc.

^^ However, there's more to share of her sister, advertised for sale in '07 on mobile.de & classicDriver.com...

Referenced on the "993 Speedster Pictures" thread:

Unique special production! - PSS9 chassis of Bilstein, - 3.8 ltr work kit engine with 300 HP, - check differential, - double Airbag, - GT3 of leather seats, - xenon headlight, - climate, - el. Window lifter & mirror.
