Tjangi (Gappy)-- Gotsta be incredible driving your beast now & having her in your own garage.

Incredibly well done.

JP-- Jorl's set-up is impressive. Another option that Gemballa offered (from Tim's "If you could order a new 993 today..." thread):

I don't think I've seen much mention of this on Rennlist. Anyone have experience with one of these?
More info in this link to the entire 2000 Gemballa PDF catalog. Per page 6, "500 hp BiTurbo, no rear spoiler required."

Jon Paul-- RLer poorb0yw (Princeton Wong)'s amazing custom turbo intercooler engineering (page 9 of the "Speedster type 993 photo thread"):

Great project! I love the look of the wing/tail. The car has a nice stance and does not look "over done".

Tks for the support

Thank you... I don't think my beast compares to Princeton's or Gemballa's PCar as these are just one of a kind amazing machines. However, I love the way I did my car so far. Aaand I need to stop sliding now

That is a great idea. I think FDM should have a branch/subsidiary on the east coast

Anytime my friend. It is almost a sin not to share the fun...

Remember that it was YOU who pushed me down the steep slope ...

(But only *I* would see JD's post here and inquire about the smart-in-the-bed-of-the-dually.................yes, mine was bought to be a "tender" for a motorhome and tow the stacker with a 911 and the Radical.)
