Where are you located? I'd fly overseas to see that car........... Please let me know.

Yeah I'm working on getting some adjustable Motons. Still trying to decide which sway bar setup. Tires will hopefully be widened (wheels by 1") when I go widebody.

As several people on Rennlist, particularly on the 993 and 964 boards, have been of help over the past year, I was thinking of having a party, perhaps one on the east coast and one on the west coast, to show you the car.


Princeton:

Why Moton? Do you really need that much adjustability. As to anti roll bars, why not simply use the factory adjustable units (although not necessary, for "cool" there was even a cockpit adjustable front ARB used on the Type 993 GT2 race version)?

Robert,
About where in the world would we have to travel to witness the unveiling of your project?

Hey Robert:

Thanks for the responses to my questions on the transmission and wiring. And yes, I would be very interested in seeing the car . . . either NY or NJ would be great for me.

Thanks again!

New York is my preference too since I'm in Ottawa Ontario....or is there a Canadian tour coming up? Maybe at Mosport? (just teasing....but seriously I'd love to see the car).

Robert told: As to the transmission, in this instance a Tiptronic weighing in excess of 100 kg,
Robert, such elaborate weight saving job and You have Tip in this car !?! It's probably the most cost effective way to switch it to euro-spec manual?

Admiring Your cf work.

Either NY or LA would work for me. Just depends on the date.

While I'd prefer some where south like say...... Florida I would travel to see it. Maybe we could do a group buy for the airfare

Robert,
Please let us all know when and where this marvel will be exhibited, I would certainly travel anywhere in the U.S. to have a close look at it.

The proper place to do an unveil is NY... if it's there I'll be in attendance.

Thank you all.

I will try to arrange a showing in both the NY/NJ area and one in LA.

Jack:

Yes changing to a manual transmission would save weight as it is almost 30 kg lighter. Having said that, I like the Tiptronic -- particularly for driving in congested areas -- and there is more of a challenge to reduce its weight.
