I miss my red turbo, your is stunning! I guess I am a big fan of the full techart type 1 kit, I think it is the best one out there. The side skirts and rear would really complete it, but at least your lowers are painted. Enjoy the red beast!!

 

Thank you and hope circumstances will let you back in a Red Turbo -- Go Guards -- one of these days.


You had a Ruf? How was it? What suspension mod did they use?

 

Alex,
I am not an expert but believe I've read that polyurethrane (TechArt) is much preferrable to fiberglass (SpeedArt), which tends to shatter (??). Maybe someone in the know could chime in.
Appearance wise, strictly a matter of personal taste -- one is not "better" than the other, but note that the TechArt front spoiler points forward more and has those two sharp protruding points, whereas SpeedArt is more blunt. I did also look at SpeedArt but decide to stay with TechArt just because somehow it looks so good on eclou's car.

Jason/Mike/Justin,
What is it about the TechArt wheel that makes it feel so good? Is it because it is thicker or is it because it's smaller?
Does it make steering response more twitchy?
Hmmm... I know I should not have frequented this forum so much.
TIA.

 

I loved my Ruf. It was a conversion not a Ruf Vin, but it was the full Rturbo 550 pkg, brakes, full suspension etc. I had Ruf spec PSS9's on mine. They were great for me, perfect ride height and seemed very balanced. It was guards red, is there any other red??
Trying to upload a pic but it is not working. You can search my posts and see it. I sold it almost a year ago. My time will come again!!

 

Correct, both the TECHART front lip and front bumper are made of a flexible, resilient, and durable polyurethane that is cast in very expensive aluminum molds.
Many of the aerodynamic body components come with ABS grilles, kevlar radiator / brake ducting and numerous pieces of hardware. That is usually the biggest difference between genuine TECHART and the counterfeit products some people push.

 

Good to know - thanks guys.

 

Regarding the TECHART steering wheel question, it is a Porsche factory wheel (thus the core exchange) that has been stripped down to the bare metal ring. The grip is then recast with a firmer, thicker diameter core that is also contoured for a 9 and 3 grip. Leather, Alcantara and stitching are spec'd to order. The overall size is only slightly smaller than stock because anything smaller would block the instrument dials.

There are images on page 52 of the newest catalog:

Yep, I watched them do one when I visited TechArt

 

Can,

The size is only slightly smaller than stock. I can't explain it, but it's just not the thickness of the steering wheel that makes it good. The total feel just feels right.

You haven't learned yet? The more you roam these forums, the more money you spend. It's like a drug addict coming back for more hits!
