Amazing Jackal, just amazing! 
I spent a small fortune on RS bits for my old 993, but you have really gone the whole distance on yours... You will have one truly fantastic motor when its all done.
Keep it going and keep the posts coming!
Its the best colour too!

you can't beat lightness, go for it !
planning any gearbox/gearing mods?
Hi ade, gearbox will be done in 2016. Guards CS ratios and the porsche steel syncros and RS LSD. Will also finish it off with the Hydraulic brakes then as well and RS /turbo driveshafts. Need to get it back to drive it for a year before all that ! Having massive withdrawal symptoms.planning any gearbox/gearing mods?

Fabulous build. What do you think you'll be able to get the wet weight down to?
Well it should be pretty much the same as a std RSCS because it will match very closely including the ali bonnet, lightweight glass, buckets, no airbags, manual windows/locks/mirrors, water bottle, rear lightweight glass, cut down loom, wooden floorboards etc. Fabulous build.

Only thing is my car has underseal and a little more paint i suspect but then no cat so maybe they cancel out.
Problem is i don't know what the CS quoted weight is. M002 is 1270 I believe.
Steve, i think yours was 1160-ish was it not with a little fuel ? Mine might not be as light as that (no plexiglass) but it would be nice if it dips under 1200.
1200kg/~310bhp, good torque, fab brakes, welded cage ... maybe it will be as quick point to point as my standard GT3.

NFW in my experience Rich. Only thing is my car has underseal and a little more paint i suspect but then no cat, no heater blower so maybe they cancel out.

Sorry to p*ss on your chips, but 310hp just doesn't cut it against the later car (on the road) lighter weight or not. Struggling to see how you'll dip below 1200kgs (especially with a welded in cage) but hats off to you if you can.
Yep, maybe not and it really doesnt matter in any case. Its a car that for me that never ever feels like it needs to be any faster (unlike the mk1 which imo feels like it could do with a bit more horse/revs).
RE: weight. Steves was 1160 odd i think and his is very similar (full welded cage) albeit with no underseal, plexiglass and different seats.
Again though, really doesnt matter, as far as my personal tastes are concerned the car was wonderful to drive before it went in and it will just be several degrees more wonderful when it comes out. Its only for t
tting through europe and the odd social trackday, not racing etc.
