Uncle Posted 9March, 2016 Report Posted 9March, 2016 (edited) So once more into the breach comrades...Already Haltech EFI converted 3.6 varioram 964 motor with ported heads, 993 RS cams,ARP stud everything. Fabspeed headers, 12xLS1 coils etc etc, G50 gearbox, 996tt brakes.Inside is 964 everything including dash and Porsche script seats. Plans are another custom turbo set up but this time twin turbo, because if one is good two should be better right? I picked these up for it today. For me they are THE quintessential wheel. They are genuine 1991 date stamped non denloc RUF Speedline. Will post some more pics when I get the car home. Edited 9March, 2016 by Uncle Chris-p, ANF, raafrebel and 20 others 23 Quote
clutch-monkey Posted 9March, 2016 Report Posted 9March, 2016 jealous of the wheels, goddamn... what year is the car?you are a madman sir; bravo Quote
Uncle Posted 9March, 2016 Author Report Posted 9March, 2016 86 I think. If I’m honest I can’t remember lol. The really funny part is I’d been given the green light to buy the Grey Ferrari F360 and yet my bucket list OCD stopped me as this car is as you know a fish that once got away from me. Italian ladies can wait. micknine01 and clutch-monkey 2 Quote

Harvs11 Posted 10March, 2016 Report Posted 10March, 2016 Full of surprises! Love it. Now I know what the other Martin meant about the copycat wheels. Quote
Robert930 Posted 10March, 2016 Report Posted 10March, 2016 Well done Martin, those wheels will look the bomb !! Uncle 1 Quote
clutch-monkey Posted 10March, 2016 Report Posted 10March, 2016 curious to see if the varioram makes a difference to the powerband vs your old 3.3, if any! Quote
Uncle Posted 10March, 2016 Author Report Posted 10March, 2016 (edited) Cheers Gents. Should be a bit of fun. Turbo conversion might take a little while tho as I’v got a few kilos of fish in the pan right now.Not really apples for apples Sam. Old motor was a big single turbo new motor will be 2 small twins. Mmmm twins. Edited 10March, 2016 by Uncle chris_f 1 Quote
Coastr Posted 11March, 2016 Report Posted 11March, 2016 I missed that the old one had been sold. Someone is getting around with white knuckles?2x turbos = 2x flamage, amirite? Quote

chris_f Posted 12March, 2016 Report Posted 12March, 2016 The black wheels looked good on the car... but the RUF's are hard to go past. Eager to see how this one turns out Quote
Uncle Posted 14March, 2016 Author Report Posted 14March, 2016 I don’t think they quite work. 2 problems, they don’t really fit over my front brakes and as much as I love RUF wheels I’m not sure they 100% work on this car ; / Russ and clutch-monkey 1 1 Quote
Coastr Posted 14March, 2016 Report Posted 14March, 2016 Maybe they need a different colour? Bit of photoshopping? What about a gold/bronze colour? Or just straight up gloss black with a thin red stripe around the edge? Quote
Uncle Posted 14March, 2016 Author Report Posted 14March, 2016 Dunno. I’ll sleep on it. I’ve already had 4 sms’s and a P.M asking if I want to sell lol. GUT and clutch-monkey 2 Quote
OZ930 Posted 14March, 2016 Report Posted 14March, 2016 Is it an inside diameter problem or a spacer problem ? Quote
Uncle Posted 14March, 2016 Author Report Posted 14March, 2016 I.DJuuuust short. like .05mm.Where is that file... Quote
OZ930 Posted 14March, 2016 Report Posted 14March, 2016 (edited) I.DJuuuust short. like .05mm.Where is that file...Assuming it is a tapered inside rim, would a 3mm spacer give you the clearance. I have a couple if you would like to try. Edited 14March, 2016 by OZ930 Quote
D-banger Posted 14March, 2016 Report Posted 14March, 2016 Congrats on the new purchase.I'm sure the car goes with the current engine set-up, but I know you just like turbos. MFX and Uncle 2 Quote
