no i dont think there are copies of driftteks.

bee*r rims are different and look hotter but for the price i would buy the 18" teks when they arrive...soon very soon.

is it TT yet?

Nor will ever be.

The crank casings are all much the same, so:

Option 1) 3.3 turbo pistons, rings, bearings.

Or

Option 2) 3.6 crank, rods, bearings, pistons, cylinder casings.

Or

Option 3) 3.8RS crank, rods, bearings, pistons, cylinder casings.

The last two are going towards being a n/a build, although option 2) can be changed to a turbo spec build for much the same price.

1 and 2 we can keep the bigger cams already in it, so its a bit more cost effective. The 3.3 turbo options is more realistic in terms of power wanted VS cost, so it'll prob go that way.

It's getting a chip done soon for the new exhaust an cams, so dad/me will just run it until it brakes something then think more about it.

the RUF dealership in Texas offered us the bits to build a RUF 3.4lt turbo motor, which is another option, but the extra cost VS power doesn't appear to be worth it compaired to 3.3lt turbo power.

Depends what happens with the car later on sorta thing.. If it's just a fun car or something a bit more weekendish

no TT, no win

joshwa = fail

TT is boring, runs very hot and doesn't offer much more response compaired to a decent BB single turbo. There is a reason why alot of the turbo's stay single, it's all tried and tested and works with good results. Plus all the highend German and American manifolds are for single turbo.

Yeah from 993 on wards (not counting 959 :)), there is no reason why you can't use manifolds suited to a 993 TT, or even just put a 993 motor in this car, however it sorta change’s everything, plus motor conversions make some things tricky with certain race class’s.

It’s all up in the air, we don’t even know what or even how far we want to go with this car yet. Dad wants a newer one as they are nicer to daily drive or another Range Rover, so if he does that It'll stay basic due to lack of money. Plus as I still want to be able to drive it on the street keeping the damn thing cool plays apart with how far it could go anyway

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
