Thank you very much for directing me to your fabulous posts. Your car and taste level are great. I really enjoyed reading all about your BTR. Thank you again. When ruf is finished with mine I will let you know how it worked out.

btr update
Today I went to vist my in many pieces btr. Wayne and hans gave me a tour of all the pieces. The btr was on a lift, motor transmission, wheels off . Under the car looked very good, clear view with everything off. Ruf is puting new brakes,tires light weight flywheel clutch all new hoses pistons ,wiring harness, carbon fiber all, leather rs door pannels.I had them buy sparco seats. The car was surrounded by many boxes holding all of this stuff, it looked like xmas. I love going their, you are treated like a friend instead of a customer.The btr will be ready soon. I am ready now. I am 64 and feel like i am geting my first car.

You can add me to this list. I have a 2001 RTurbo converted here in the USA in April 2002. It has Ruf 520ps kit (550 was not available at time of conversion) and Ruf suspension. Otherwise a sleeper looking stock Turbo. Lapis Blue, Grey interior - 36,000 miles and still going strong!
I just did brakes, clutch and new PS2's. Anyone interested in it I will sell it for $65K.

C4Consult,
I think your BTR will be ready next week... according to your original schedule. Best wishes on a safe delivery. Keep us posted, and lets get you added to the list! You may be required to change your screen name, however.
Paolo,
Yes, this is an infectuous thread. What will you have them do? Obviously the engine, but suspension? wheels? brakes? body work? seats? doo-dads? The list goes on and on. Best luck, and let us know your plans.

Thank you, Steve.
I already removed the crappy Monroes long time ago and now I'm running on Bilstein PSS9 with ball supports, stiff bars etc as for the Turbo S suspension. I wonder if this will be okay.
The plan is to have the RUF Turbo R upgrade to 360KW, with their wheels and brakes.
No seats for the moment.
Not sure about body work. Is it technically needed or just for the RUF look?
I hope to discuss these issues with Norbert at the factory, we have a call scheduled for tomorrow morning, then in a meeting up there.
Your expert advice, guys, is more than welcome, of course.
If anybody want to come to the factory when I'll meet them, it would be great!
Bye, Paolo
PS Sorry, still do not know how to use smiles etc...

Paolo,
For most of us, the Ruf bits and pieces are simply cosmetic upgrades... including the brakes, which are beautiful to look at, but lets face it... the big reds are just fine. My previous turbo had the PSS-9s, and the Ruf suspension seems to be nicer... they have their own shock valving, their own springs, and a nice adjustable rear sway bar. I've heard that the RUF CTR bumpers are no longer available... I hope that's false, because those bumpers make a nice statement. I love the Ruf steering wheel and the Ruf shifter... a great feel to them. If you have stock seats (not sport seats), I'd recommend an upgrade of some sort... I have the Koneg K5000 seats which are virturally the same as the Ruf seats, at about 1/2 the price. I'l love to do the Ruf instruments. It sure is fun to spend your money!

Doug,
Start here:

I ordered my seats from a distributor in Tehachappi, California, who was great. The seats come complete with the sliders and rails, and even a doofus (me) had no trouble installing them. Keonig makes the Ruf seats for Ruf, based on the K5000. I "cheated" and had a headrest cover embroidered with the Ruf logo, and it is velcro'd over the headrests. Looks pretty cool. If you want more info, you're welcome to email me directly: ca993twin@yahoo.com.
