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

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
