It's modeled after a Domani. Was sold in east Asia.

Yeah, its an Acura EL which are basically Civics with some extra options that are sold in Canada. That car has been badged as a Honda Domani, though. Pretty much the same car.

yea the EL was really like an accord with civic styling and parts.. originally came with a Y8 in it.. but this person obviously didnt like that idea.

993TT Upgraded to Ruf Turbo R Specs

Thanks guys. Appreciate the compliments. This has definately been a fun project for me and I'm glad to see it's also been well tracked! Always had a thing for the air cooled cars and especially the 993's. I fell in love with the ruf cars when the CTR2 came out. THis project for me is the next best thing.

I've had the benefit of getting all the work done under my ownership. Cost tends to vary a ton. I had the RUF turbo R upgrade, which includes turbos, ECU, oil cooler, sport cats, cams, but also had RUF do a complete engine rebuild at that time including top end and bottom end - pistons, rings, valves, basically anything that could be replaced was replaced. I also got a new clutch, RS motor mounts, the latest brembo's for the 993 (15 inch in front and 14 inch in back). Body kit was also installed which includes front and rear bumpers. As part of that fitting I had the light "warts" removed in front of the headlights, had 3M put all over the car. INterior was also done. Full carbon as well as RUF steering wheel, gear lever, e-brake etc. Also added gt3 seats to save a bit of weight (still have original 993 sport seats that came with the car). Rennline pedal set. Latest upgrades were center exhaust and side mirrors, both of which were not easy, straightforward mods. Wheels are RUF 19's with PS2's and the car has Pss9 suspension. I'm sure I'm forgetting other upgrades, but that's pretty much the gist of it. With these 993's the key is finding the right car to start with. I recommend taking your time and once you find a well sorted example go for it and never look back. I've never looked at this as an investment, but based on a few in bound calls on the car, it seems to have held it's value better than any other car I've owned, by a mile.

I changed to the center exhaust more for the looks / uniqueness. This was a factory set up for the RUF ctr2 cars. RUF doesn't make these bumpers any more so when one came up i jumped on it. Took a fair amount of work to get everything to fit properly with heat shields etc, but i'm happy with how it turned out. Just had the mufflers modded a bit to give the car a slightly more aggressive sound (see post above). I'm holding on to the other RUF bumper and can swap it back pretty easily along with returning the piping to original.

That's it for now! Thanks everyone for your interest and for checking back in periodically. This has been a fun post! Until the next upgrade...
