Dialed in is great.

"Unsettled" can be fun.

Plowing like a John Deere tractor, that's no fun.

(I'd love to help Brinkley get it dialed in, but I'm sure he'll have lots of volunteers for that. And no doubt he can do it himself )

I would think with the massive increase in tire drag and aero drag, it would feel a little underpowered. Im waiting for the owner to do a major engine overhaul! Add some go to the show! That would really complete the package.

Another user said it makes GT3's quake in wake...it might with 600 hp but right now, there wont any GT3s in its wake!

I believe Jim and Scott's reputation speaks for itself.Prescott Kelly told me he believed that Scott was one of,if not the best, air cooled Porsche engine builders in the US. The Dynapack is optimistic at best.A Mustang Dyno showed 224hp vs. the Dyna at 245 for my RS clone. I believe you will be shocked when you have your 95' done.If you are able to find a Dynapack tell them the ratio was set at 3.800 and the tcf was 1.00. A stock 95' 993 will pull under 200 RWhp on a Mustang.

Thanks for the data. This has definitely piqued my intrest. However, I have gotten us off the original topic. Sorry for hijacking the thread guys. I will start a thread once I get around to doing a dyno.

Actually I was minding my business. I have a connection to the shop that painted the RWB. Sorry to the OP to thread jack, but Jason(s) at HMR does exceptional work. Congratulations!

That's one mean looking car! Congrats!

Concerning the HP... who cares?, you can take care of that later if you wish. It makes you happy, and that's what matters!!

Mark Donahue once famously said " How much horsepower do you need? Well, if you can leave two rubber stripes from the apex of the previous turn to the braking zone for the next one, that's enough horsepower!"

Brinkley's car looks like it has that much horsepower. And perhaps it will before he's finished.

Anyone notice in the beginning of the video when the red RWB car is pulling up to the garage that there is only a single exhaust on the car and the other side appears to be a dummy exhaust?

BTW, I love these cars and I think yours is awesome Brinkley

Thanks, I noticed the same thing on the video. I didn't know if one was a dummy pipe or something that is common in cold weather, being in Florida since 5th grade, I do not know these issues. I thought maybe there was a heater bypass issue was the reason.

David in LA, it was on the car when purchased so I don't know more about it. I'm sure others know this piece.

Not a dummy exhaust. Later in the video that side spits out a flame

Brinkley, I love your RWB993, I reallly respect the amount of bodywork, the challenge and skill level it takes to build the car this coming from a guy that has been an autobody painter going on ten years now.

Hope to see you around FL, perhaps at a Porsche meet sometime. I know there are many PCA members here in FL but, I have yet to register. Keep the pics coming, perhaps if you want to do a two car shoot my simple little 993 would be happy to be included
