Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

16 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

anyone seen me before? i'm told it is 1/1. but i'm not certain. custom built by fabcar for Johnson Control in the mid 1990's. mid-engined, paddle shifts, front double a arm setup with linkage. it's a pretty funky little car.

POST 3Original post

Looks like a Custom built 993 with 996 early model headlights... Very cool/funky to say the least !!!

POST 4Original post

How did they achieve the mid-engine layout? What engine/transmission does it have?

POST 5Original post

Is this the car? If so it appears to have been tamed a bit, and a new nose installed. Perhaps to get it street legal? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...car-993-a.html

POST 6Original post

I really hope that is the only one that said looks to be well executed

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

shoot, i think i made a really silly mistake. apparently the chassis is not 996. it's not 993 either it's actually 964!! i think i have the street version of this: https://www.excellence-mag.com/issue...o-hot-too-late by i i mean my buddy the owner. i think we'll be attending the reunion at Laguna Seca this year with it. i guess i better change my name to fabcar964 lol.

that's the race car version. fabcar built those first i think. the excellence article talks about the race car...

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

okay, i'm learning more as well lol. that excellence article was walking about Fabcar G93... which used 962 gearbox. our yellow one is 964 chassis, 935 twin turbo setup, and 968 club sports gearbox (i'm scratching my head still) with paddle shift (air actuator assist). anyway we're getting the car ready for a photo shoot and writeup by excellence. more details will be gathered. enjoy for now.

POST 12Original post

Look at those Penske shocks! Those are the pinnacle, clearly a serious suspension system. Nice car!

That's Carl Tallardy's 1996 FabCar. He races it in PCA Club Racing.
