No, it's all genuine 993RS with 3.75 litre varioram.

Don't worry about the photos, I'll do a full high res photo shoot once the seats go in next week.

OK guys, it's the last couple of posts on this thread from the work done last week.

With everything done and dusted bar the interior we sneaked it onto the dyno for a quick shakedown and power test. All good news, the engine ran faultlessly and peaked at 310hp with a healthy flat torque curve.

I'll edit and post a power graph later.

And so came the interior: trademark 9m leather and alcantara combination with contrasting blue stitching. Rear bulkhead carpet is held in with press studs, there to stress the importance of the car being a combination track & touring machine.

Understated class. I like it lots.

And so to the final job. Wash the car, apply the Ninemeister sunstrip decal and give the bodywork a final hand glaze with Zymol whilst the new owner paintiently waited to drive it home, then all of a sudden it's gone. It's a shame that my iPhone camera won't do justice to the Maritime Blue paintwork as the colour really pops in the sunshine. Hopefully we'll be getting a magazine article done soon and they no doubt will get a pro photographer to capture the colour in its full glory, but more on that when it actually happens.

So that's all Folks! Another 9m build complete.

As well as the 9m11RS-R which is being chronicled on the 964 forum, we've got RP's current 9m93 Speedster S programme covered here, but as well as this we have a few more interesting projects in the pipeline, so you best let me know if you still want to see more of the same.

Wow! The 993 RS is my favorite Porsche and this is as close as I'll get. Thank you. I look forward to any other project you care to share.

Very very nice! In all that overwhelming beauty someone forgot to remove the 'test radio' and replace it with the proper becker cdr22 / porsche traffic pro....

....there's one on ebay.de for €199

Stunning job Colin, must feel a bit sad letting her go.

I dare say that the new owner will visit the thread and subsequently consider alternative audio strategies to the engine soundtrack.

Marc was gutted to see the car leave. I unfortunately had mixed emotions but in the end was very happy to be able to pay my bills.

An absolute stunner Colin! The owner should LOVE it. If not, my address is......

Btw, I know it was asked a few pages ago, what's the word on the Speedlines. The rears are different.

I'll pass on your kind offer, I'm sure it will be given due consideration.

I mentioned on the last page that the wheels came with the donor car and were made in France by Tramont, not Speedlines as originally thought. Sizes are 10x18 ET55 rear and 8.5x18 ET50 front and they are a genuine through bolt split rim.
