I planned on keeping my C2 tip until I found a C2 manual, but haven't seen a RHD one for sale in the 4 years Ive owned mine. So looked into the conversion last year.

It would be around 20k. Some rennlisters in the states and canada have completed it and happy with the result. Their mechanics spent 20-30 hours to complete it. Below is the list of parts required for the conversion (from their invoice, so could be more not shown)

G50
C2 (Manual) Axles
Starter (Manual/G50)
993 Pedal box (incl. master cylinder)
Shifter assembly (rods, linkages, boots, lever)
964 Cup LW FW conversion pack, FW, Clutch Kit, Clutch arm, shaft, fork bushing
RMS
Rennline floor board
Rennline clutch and brake pedal covers
Clutch hardline
Fittings for clutch hardline
Clutch shaft retaining plate
Clutch soft line
Sensor bracket
Speed/reference sensor
Shifter console bushings
CV joint bolts
CV joint retaining plates
75/90 GL5 synthedtic gearbox oil
964/993 Shift ****/boot

It could make sense if you find the colour and spec C2 you really like. I guess once you commit to that kind of investment then you need to make sure all the other mechanicals will see you through as a 20k engine rebuild could be around the corner too. On the plus side you know the condition of the mechanicals going into the car..

I might add those parts prices are likely up 20% now in NZD so probably safe to say 22k? I paid $1200 USD landed for a pair of new rear half shafts (complete units) last year for the 993. About 1400 NZD at the time. Now I see they are 10% more to buy in U.S and 20 % more in currency so around 1800 NZD landed. It's going to be expensive moving forward keeping the old cars on the track!!

What in particular are you after? Theres a few on trademe.

There was an S2 & Turbo on autotrader a couple of weeks back, may still be there?

Paul, thanks for putting on a great day, appreciate it.

Loved my day at the track, especially with some newbie 964s that even I was able to use as road cones. Also Neil kindly let me take his 944 race car out and I absolutely loved it. I have a rash all over.

^^^^were you a bit nervous doug, or is that rain on the ground?

Plus the 964 pulled like a teenager and performed floorlessly. Had a few comments about the exhaust note going into turn 1. Sounds great with the secondary bypass vs the old setup with the primary bypass. Chose Dunlop RE-11s for today as it looked like we could get rain but it was only wet at the start and light showers as our air cooled group came in on two occasions (brilliant timing). Wish I'd had the R888s however, it was fun squirming and squeezing through the corners and, given the forecast was the fair choice.

I tested johns Steve Wong chip and control unit vs my stock one and couldn't tell any difference. Not very scientific as I wasn't timing myself but honestly could not tell any difference so I'll save myself (now) $700-800 for the SW chip upgrade and stick with stock. Maybe could get one when someone goes to the states and can save the GST. Our exchange rate sure adds a lead weight to importing upgrade bits and pieces.

Was recently contemplating selling the NZ new 964 C2 manual (heh, this may get some comments) but I'm back in love with Lola and thinking I may even take her on the SITT for old time sake now that John will be in Herman. Even Dave was saying he should never have sold her. Need to remember that when I have a weak moment and are frustrated with the lack of space with 3 cars crammed into the garage.

Ha ha, never noticed that. Not in the slightest bit of nervousness (apart from the potential of doing a Michael) but I may have been quite excited at the end of the run. I didn't want to take the risk then remembered how long dead we all are and no regrets. She's so much fun. Nothing between you and the road (steering, feel), noisy beautiful exhaust note, amazing turn in, rough, light, raunchy, agricultural, and fast.

Maxem

Yeah, thanks Paul, that was a very good day. All my runs were dry except one. Nice to see the GT3 race. The SC was a blast, but a lesson for me in car prep. Brake pedal went to the floor at the hairpin so just very lucky it wasn't on turn one because it was fine at turn two but then no one home and pumping like hell to get something. Dan to the rescue and back on for the next session.

Today was fantastic. I'd been a little pessimistic about it due to the forecast, but once it dried out the track was great. Thanks again for organising.

Doug, it's not a rash, it's just the euphoria brought on by enlightenment Don't let anyone tell you it's an illness! Although it is clearly contagious...

Sam, good to see you're still stalking the forums. Hope fatherhood is treating you well.

haha Dougie It's not until you have a decent strop in a race car that you realize how big the difference can be - fit for purpose. You better stop spending anything on the road cars until you figure this out

Jake, that second shot is a keeper.

Gutted I couldn't make it today. Looked like an impressive 964 turnout.
Pel, how did the 930 go?

That second photo Doug looks a bit like Helen Clark. You related?

Obsessed

Great stuff Doug, and I'm glad to know my example hasn't stopped people from lending/borrowing cars. If you were getting a bit bored of normal track days then going racing with a 944 would be perfect?
