The headers are stock, as far as i know

Also i have heard that Gemballas have a tendency to catch fire, there was a chap from the middle east who nearly lost his life because his car caught fire, it was a GTR of some iteration.

Congrats on such an awesome machine!

Gemballa GTR750, Manthey M700, EvoMS800, Ruf R-Turbo/RT12, etc... i suppose these are the "Imperial Star Destroyers" of the Porsche world...

But your car's and VRAlex's... they're the DEATH STARS!!!

(sorry, but they're been doing a weekly Star Wars marathon on cable here since Christmas )

cheers!!!
This has to be one of the best posts i have read on any car related forum.

We all have exceptional cars, and we all enjoy them...and i think this post encapsulates that perfectly.

Superb post.

Your car does have a lightweight flywheel. The previous owner had us install one during the conversion for his personal preference but it was not part of the RUF 550hp engine conversion.

Glad to hear you are enjoying the car Martin, it is no doubt a beast!

There were pictures of that car here on 6speed but they seem to have been removed.

New wastegates are included.

If the car has no lag, why bother to "upgrade" it?
No you are right, but as we all know its part of our "disease" , always trying to add more to maximize or "complete" what is already perfect It never ends!
