are the 993 cup cars widebody cars like the c2s or the normal 993s ?

 

A confusion of terms. The C2 is not a widebody. The turbo is a widebody- as is the C4 and S( feel free to correct anyone)
The Cup Cars were based on narrow body C2.
Hope that helps.

 

C4 is not wide,

C2S, C4S, and turbo are wide

 

thanx.

 

what parts to i need to construct a cup car clone ?

 

Check Rennlist and Pelican forums.Do searches -there is a lot of info. I have complete catalogues of parts -runs to a lot of pages.

 

thx. i'm interested in buying a 993 for daily and DE use. i love the cup car look. wasn't interested in going full bore conversion. looks like suspension and the speedline wheels....

i'll check out rennlist.

 

Good bless the Internet for the info below in blue. Note, clone exterior "look" would be pretty easy to construct. I have included a pic of my feeble attempt to construct a clone, including factory splitters and side skirts, Getty Design tail, RS motor and tranny mounts, RS clutch and flywheel. The only other RS parts I g=have on my "list" are RS uprights and tie rods. All exterior parts easy to source. These cars appear to have been precursors to the 993 RS and 993 RS CS (Club Sport).

Cloning the interior parts, running gear, etc., very expensive. Having the factory manual on how these cars differ from a stock 993, (Porsche publication WKD 499 620, now out of print) cloning one of these car's mechanical components would be very expensive.

Engine: 3,744 liters, larger cylinder bores in crankcase, wider cylinder head porting, grafal coated pistons, shared belt drive for fan and alternator, modified cam shafts and chain sprockets, modified DME

Transmission: G50/31 for RS, G50 32 for 993 RS CS, modified flywheel we all know and love, steel synchros, short shift kit, tranny mount stiffer than stock

Running Gear: Different front wheel carriers and tie rods, control arms have harder rubber mounts, 23mm front and 20mm rear sway bars adjustable, adjustable coil overs, Uniballs front and rear, modified steering, 18.5 : 1, connecting brace between steering supports, 993 turbo drive shafts

Brakes: Turbo Big Reds on front, 993 RS calipers on rear with bigger pistons

Misc: If you want to see what other parts are available, check out www.carenwal.com They sell lots of the very special 993 RS parts, from the aero kit to...you name it.

Basically, you could easily buy a 996 Cup Car (NOT street legal), for what it would cost to duplicate a 993 Cup Car, or a 993 RS, 993 RS CS...better yet, buy a 996 based GT3 ...big wallet, 997 GT3, sweet!

As I read.....
Porsche produced an entry-level 993 racing car intended for use in the firm's one-make Supercup championship. 993 Cup cars were current for the four seasons between 1994 and 1997, the first versions (left) having served as useful testbeds for the Carrera RS road car introduced in early 1995. Later examples more closely resembled the Club Sport RS with its visually extreme aero devices, as depicted below. All were equipped with competition-spec Bilstein shocks, the ride-height and anti-roll bars having been fully adjustable.
The power steering was junked, air-jacks were installed and new three-piece alloy and magnesium Speedline Supercup wheels fitted. Like the subsequent RS road car, the Cup was powered by an enlarged 3.8-litre Variocam engine although this version was designated Typ M64/70 and featured a number of interesting differences. Displacement was unchanged at 3746cc, but there was new twin spark ignition, a hike in the compression ratio (from 11.3 to 11.5:1) and Bosch Motronic M2.10 multi-point engine management. There was a reinforced Typ G50/30 six-speed gearbox linked to a competition clutch, a straight-through racing exhaust and two-stage resonance air intakes. Boasting 310bhp at 6200rpm and weighing in 270kg lighter than the stock Carrera Coupe, this was enough for 172mph flat out and 0-60 in just 4.8 seconds. Side and rear windows were typically plastic, the windshield itself having been of thinner glass than normal. Fastening pins held the lightweight front lid in place, the only other identifiable difference being a solitary windscreen wiper. The cabin was equipped with just a roll-cage, fire extinguishing system and a solitary Recaro racing seat with six-point harness.
