Is 993 Speedster Tip exist?
 

I just wondering if there is any 993 speedster Tip ever produced? If not, what do I need to convert a cab to speedster and how much it cost for parts?

Terence-- A 993 Speedster with Tiptronic transmission was produced by Porsche for family member F.A. Butzi Porsche.

From the "Rennlist/ PCA member's 993 SPEEDSTER" thread:

A 993 Speedster Tip was produced for RLer GrahamPeterM by 9Meister.

I really like the chocolate interior but hate the wood.

^^ Mmmm... wood.

Consider UK's 9Meister to convert a cab to Speedster.

Is it time to have a "9Meister Forum" yet? :roflmao:

Paging Colin & Graham to aisle number nine!

:corn:

Haaa.... Thx. I am thinking to get my cab convert to speedster. Anyone got the shopping list?

To get you started, 'til the 9Meister faithful chime in (JPP/ GrahamPeterM/ RP993/ Colin, etc.) with the latest list:

Ah Speedster - looks like you are also becoming a speedsterholic Terence.
Last year I was looking for a project car in Hong Kong to do a speedster conversion.
But for reason instead of the 993 look I prefer the 964 look - the bug eyes have been growing on me.

This is currently in the wish list. There seems to be plenty of wide body 964's available in HK.

All 993s whether Tiptronic, manual C2 or C4, Coupe or Convertible are all suitable donor cars to build a 9m93 Speedster, the easiest to convert being the C2 Cabrio (In theory we could even start with a turbo, but I'm not that sure we would want to ruin the looks of the 9m93 Speedster with an ugly spoiler on the back?).


Shopping list? Try 235 individual parts on a spreadsheet....

The zero risk solution is to buy everything new from Porsche. New fabrication panels are required and we also recommend that you source brand new door shells to go with them which would allow us to fabricate the bodyshell in one hit. The cost of the panels from Porsche is approximately £7k (11,000USD) at todays UK list price. The rest of the Speedster specific parts (hood, clamshell, mechanisms, seals, screen, windows, etc) currently cost £17k ($27k) from Porsche

You can source used (as JP did) but the downside with this approach is that most if not all parts come from damaged cars and we only find the extent of the wear, tear & damage when they are fitted; hence the hidden cost to buying used is the labour cost to rectify damage.

For reference, the 9m93 Speedster S has the addition of the turbo look wide body; the required Turbo rear quarters, sills, bumpers & hardware costs another £7.5k. Obviously all prices exclude taxes & duties.

Already ahead of you Jager.....

Yes .. my clamshell and top (hood) assembly had been damaged in a previous accident AND then the clamshell was damaged again when it was shipped to me .. nothing that 9m couldn't repair to 'as new' condition but it's a factor you have to assume will be there and budget for it. When you're buying used, it would be extremely prudent to physically check all parts for wear and damage and to be sure they are from a '94 Speedster and not an '89. Otherwise you will be repairing and replacing those parts and they are expensive ... when it comes to Speedster parts ... a little knowledge can make a huge difference.
