Yes, the electronics were tricky with the Canbus vs. the new bus, and the replacement of the Motronics to a more modern version, but they have gotten it done and it will be back in my hands in a couple of weeks. Everything including the variocam plus will be working fine.

Dave, from the thread in the link, FVD was doing test drives on July 20. You wrote you expected delivery in August. It's Nov 22 now. How long have you been without your car total?

The conversion sounds very exciting.
$15-20k (old Box) + $25k (3.8L conversion) = $40-45k (perfect track car)

From the what I've been reading the past few years FVD is the place to go, RUF is just plain overpriced and your paying for the name.

Personally, If I could build a dream car Itd be this...
1. all carbon fiber 987 body (black) with 03+ 996 headlights, GT3 front bumper, sideskirts, etc...
2. New 997TT engine tuned to 600HP or the GT V10 engine
3. Cayenne turbo brakes inside 19's with a sport suspension
4. Rollbar with removable top section for top down driving
5. GT3 seats with harnesses
6. first 7 speed gear box in a porsche for shorter gear ratios, lol (maybe not)
7. And lastly, its gotta have tinted windows.
