It was already pretty badass, I like your posting, this is going to be good
Your 993 is one of my favorites - you going to start a build thread?

Those are RS outers, still available from any dealer but they do come attached to RS rubber inners.
The gem is the RSR/GT2 Evo inner which seems to be unobtainable these days
top 993 outer and inner, the outer is angled for use w/ the long 993 wheel carrier arm attached to rubber connection inner. bottom RS straight outer for use w/ the 993RS short arm wheel carrier attached to GT2 Evo mono-ball connection inner
full tie rods outer/inner sets
top normal, bottom RS, RS rubber connection is stiffer than normal but nut as dirrect as the GT2 Evo mono-ball inner

Sorry about the OT: I know it's been posted many times before... But I can't seem to find it in a search. What is the part number for the RS outer only? I don't need the inner part of the tie rod, just the outer RS section.
Back to normally scheduled programming.

Bill, these are GT2 outer tie rods. They came from a fellow rennlister who had purchased a new set some time ago and only needed the inner pieces.
So my question is, are the GT2 and RS outers actually the same part? I was told the GT2 rods were longer!? So are inners longer then?
I currently have rs uprights and rs tie rods. So what is needed to push the hubs out that magical 28mm?

Wow Juha, great project. It never stops, does it?
We need to catch up . It's been a while. The only thing missing in your build list is a set of BBS e88 race wheels for your new project. I have too many of these and need to make some room in the garage. I can probably make widths and offsets/color as you like. You seem to have already made up your mind about the wheels though . Maybe I'll shoot you an email later.
Great project regardless!

Very nice project Juha - it's like a tasteful Finn Rauh-Welt with real ***** underneath.
Post pictures of the conversion, it should lots of fun.
BTW, this must be more than a few $$$ -> you willing to give an idea of the overall budget?
Cheers,
Mike

As with the street cars the race car tie rods come as an outer/inner set, you buy 2, one for each side
These are the part #s I have it appears that the n/b Cup used the same parts as the w/b GT2 and RSR
GT2Evo/RSR/Cup mit mono-ball 993.347.031.80 or
993RS mit harder rubber 993.347.031.81
993street mit softer rubber 993.347.031.03
993.347.131.01 inner w/ rubber
993.347.131.02 GT2/RSR/Cup inner
To be sure measure the length of your outer, I have a couple of RS outer/inners that I can measure here.
7" from the outer end to the start of the thread, 14.75" from end to end when set up for a n/b car. I can get an end to end by taking it apart but i'm too lazy.

I helped Glen on his also and it was pretty much routine after mine was setup, but first time around you really need to figure out all the hurdles to jump over. I have had zero issues with this and the electric pump setup. Both Glen and I run our cars in sprint races (40mins or less) and on smooth tracks.

Juha. I loved your car just as it was quite honestly. I thought the polar silver and orange worked very well together. I just cant bring myself to change the factory sheet metal...having said all of that I believe your GT2 recreation will be simply stunning given your attention to detail. The color will look very good as well (my all time favorite on the 993 followed by Polar Silver then Midnight Blue)...

I understand that you cannot buy just the outer part...you have to buy the entire tie rod...part #993-347-031-81. If you get the tie rods you wheel also need the RS wheel carrier...part#993-341-157-81 & 993-341-158-81.

^^^^ yes, I already have the bearings and uprights on the way... And my understand was that you must buy the complete tie rod. I just wanted to make sure that Bill didn't have any super secret part numbers up his sleeve
Actually, now that I think about it, I know you can buy the inner part of the RS rod separately, just not the outer.
According to Andraya at Sunset, the GT2 tie rod is completely NLA and to her knowledge will not be reissued any time soon.
