Suggestion
Sorry to hear about your mishap, but will you replace the damged aerokit with the same brand maker as what it had, or would you consider GT Racing's product?

I could have used a different front but I figured this one provided a good compromise between keeping air out from under the car and not providing too much wind resistance.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Let me clarify. I'm talking about swapping the engine in my race car, not a street car, so normal economics don't apply.
Mine is the one temporarily in front.
Well then, that's different. OK, the external pieces are quite similar and since the 3.6 is Variocam, I assume that the ECU would be different. Other than that, how hard could it be? If you're actually going to do this, you may want to consider equipping it with some X51 specific goodies (heads, cams, etc.).
I also like to ask another related question since were talking engine swaps here. Is it feasible to just purchase a 996TT engine without the turbos and put high compression pistons/programmable ecu management etc. Since it has a tru dry sump would it work? Regards. Mike
Mike,
Thanks. Unfortunately it doesn't look like that right now. Some guy lost it coming out of the Carousel at RA and knocked me into the wall at a high rate of speed. Ouch. If I'm going to rebuild it I need to make it faster than it was before. I'm in the same class as 993 RSs and 993 TTs. Therefore my questions on if anyone has done the 3.6 conversion. I have to keep the car stock but I can upgrade to later 996 specs. Jim
Sorry to hear that has happened to you. Hope you weren't injured. Must have been a total surprise when it happened. Your car will come out brand new I'm sure. By the way what suspension you have on your car-looks really nice. Regards. Mike
Jim, a little out of context, but a comment /question on your aerokit: Is that aerokit from Porsche, or an aftermarket dealer (Like GT Racing)? Sorry to hear about your mishap, but will you replace the damged aerokit with the same brand maker as what it had, or would you consider GT Racing's product? Any comment on GT Racing products? Thanks in advance.
Mike,
I have the Moton Club Sport dampers with pretty stiff springs and ERP momoballs. It's good for the track but would be pretty punishing on the street.
Authur,
I have/had the factory GT3 areokit. You must use a factory wing in the stock classes. I could have used a different front but I figured this one provided a good compromise between keeping air out from under the car and not providing too much wind resistance. We talked to the GT Racing folks before I ordered this one but decided to go with the OEM stuff. I'll probably use the same kit when I rebuild.
