My prediction....it will scare off women and childrens.

Had a fabspeed cat bypass with LPMM, and it did scare off women and children at full throttle.

Here are couple of clips. Granted, not that great but gives some indication.
What I really should record is WOT as that is when the pitch changes and it really screams.
In the second video I told my buddy to stomp on it but he didn't dare so you don't hear what it's like.
(that is a benefit though, when you drive easy, it's quite civilized)

Flying Finn - I love the sound of your exhaust. You are correct - much more exotic and not that V8 rumble.

So true. I'm running a Fabspeed bypass and Fister Stage IIs and it can wake the dead. I was leaving the doc's office the other day and a little girl was covering her ears and grimacing. Looked like she was on the verge of tears. Was I wrong for gunning it a couple of times after I saw her?

I will say Petu's car is the best sounding 993 I have ever heard/ridden in.

Here is an old clip from '08 at Homestead. Watch him pass me at 9:25 on...you will hear the scream:

I remember that! That was a fun day.
Didn't you love that Infinity (or whatever it was) driver in front of us?!
I finally gave up and had to be a bit naughty...

You need to edit a 10 second clip for me from that.

Finally have some news. MY RWB kit just arrived air freight from Japan. BASF Paint should be in next week and then we will start working on the body. Long At LTMW will be doing the paint work. Nakai san from RWB will be coming in late April or early May to do the actual conversion. I have had a lot of pms about fellow rennlisters wanting to come see Nakai san work on the car. We are planning a meet during the build process and I will let everyone know as we get closer to the date.

I'm surprised no one has had molds made from parts since they arrive like that.
