You only win this for the BIGGEST spend, I know Macca is six figures, Sean must be circa $50-70K, I think I am level pegging with Sean. I stopped keeping invoices and running spreadsheets, so don't know.
Macca - you forgot consumables for John, pads, new disks and brake rebuild, which will be later this year once he puts a couple of hard track days on them.
John, while the engine is out replace the engine mounts and gear box mounts for RS spec - it makes a big difference.

I dont think you can buy a stock 964/993 and have a competitive reliable track/targa package for less than 100k including the donor car. Of course a donor manual 964 is 65% the cost of a similar manual 993 so this is a good place to start. One assumes at these age and mileage that any such car will need top end work done within 12-15 track days if it hasn't been attended to before...
As Ive said before it simply doesn't make any sense....but its alot of fun!
John, Paul is spot on regards the engine and tranny mounts,. Go for the 964RS versions and it will make a big improvement. You factory ones will definitely be long shot by now. Also consider an RS short shift kit of there is such thing for the 964 and I would seriously research and consider a reinforced engine carrier gusset from Rennline. Look this up on Rennlist but 993s with heavy track use can crack these and the factory made a stronger one for the 993 Cup cars. Especially important as you increases forces at the track or with HP upgrade. Doing it while the engine out is a cinch. Just unbolt, weld the gusset and paint. If you have to do it later is a big job. Not sure it inflicts the 964 but if this is going to be your track car for the next few years best spend a few hundred more and get it right....
See - well have you up to 100k in no time!

Might have an engine block sitting around - could be quite nice as a glass coffee table.

I might still be a contender for 2013 yet lads.
The motors getting dropped soon, should push me near Macca territory on the 964 all said and done and we're still searching for a donor car for project 2.
I'm not sure whether I'm excited or nervous but you only live once!

Sean. We have a contender! Hot Rod days!
Think of the hp and especially the torque!
Its a few year away (I hope) before I get to indulge in some engine shenanigans. Im counting on you in the meantime. Unless it goes "bang" on the track tour. A real possibility it seems....
Dont worry, I have a T shirt ready for you buddy. Its a lonely club here. Its only money afterall! Seriously though - its alot of fun planning, doing and then testing and using these cars.
Looks like me might have a group buy on the OZ wheels....

So has anyone been working today??? It's not a Pacific island but its been too nice in Paihia today for any internet time.
Matt - tell us more (or did I miss a few pages back??) A gt3 would be a most welcome addition to the sept track tour.

Oh I've been going since 6am. In Shanghai at the moment. Needed some respite.
Steve just text me, looks like the Denny Hulme Festival for 2016 is going to be Porsche. At this rate everyone on this board will have a car with logbook by then. Should be good times.

New posts on Carrerasport re deposits for September Track Tour (two have already paid up) and also final round of Poll for Rennsport "Something" Group...
Good news too. South Island Playday Track Tour will be announced on Steve's board shortly. Wed like to have a small Porsche group. This is 4 famous tracks over 8 days 21-27th March. You heard it first here! This will be an absolute life time memorable event. Take the missus, add a few extra days in Queenstown and make a holiday of it! We already have three interested from RSC so put it in your calendar and start buttering up "the boss" now!

If I can get a 930 that's already had some issues or is rough we'll build a 934 replica. This is proving tough, we've been looking for about a year now.
If I can get a decent donor car (3.2 or SC) we'll do a '73 RSR outlaw/ hot rod. Looked at a lot of cars but again the suitable donor at the right price is tough.
Patience is not one of my stronger points I should add! lol Will be worth the wait though. Either one will be a little bit different, like the 964 is.

Steve mentioned a long hood option to 'easily' backdate a 964. Rennspeed has a hood that does that. Were you exploring that with him? If so what was involved?

2 options, at the moment. Depending on what comes up in terms of donor.

Basically you're looking at the below for a 73 RSR (wide body) conversion:
front and rear bumpers
front and rear guards
lights
sills
ducktail/ decklid
hood
mirrors
wheels
There was a white wide-body SC on Trademe but it sold before we got a look at it. That was as close as we'd come as a good donor as the rear guard work had been done!
