tuningblog.eu Your magazine about tuning the car
Mark Riccioni was for that Speed Hunters Magazine on the road and got a fantastic Restomod classic in front of the lens at the current SEMA Auto Show. And of course we have to show it to you. The unique item is an RWB 993 Porsche 911 Targa with the surname Yoshiwara. And the RWB Yoshiwara project was started more than six years ago, but then one day the previous owner gave it up. The current owner Riko bought the 993 in October 2017 and finished it with Akira Nakai in terms of body kit. However, there was not only the extensive body kit, but even the factory automatic transmission was thrown out and was exchanged for a G50 manual transmission. After some time, the 993 was finally completed and the result will be at the SEMA Auto Show until tomorrow. And the last "work assignment" brought particularly large changes to the XNUMX chassis.
RWB 993 Porsche 911 Targa
Aside from the body kit, a particularly noticeable detail was a curved Lexan rear window, replacing the tinted Targa glass that the car originally came with. And then of course there is the beautiful colour. According to Riko, the finish is called '1978 Aged Inca Gold'. It was created by Jose Ayala and applied by Juan Ayala of 24/7 Auto Body. Aside from a few black accents (Spoilers, seals of the RWB components, flaps, rocker panels, etc.) is all wrapped in the dark gold. And it continues in the cabin.
She became complete stripped and now has a fully welded in Roll cage. Also on display is a pair of limited edition RWB x Bride bucket seats with silver backrests contrasting with hues of gold and black. Further details are a digital AiM additional instrument in combination with the factory gauges, a CAE shifter for the G50 gearbox and many more details.
revised 3,6 liter boxer engine
And then of course there would be the highlight in the rear. Because that's where the completely revised 3,6-liter boxer engine sits, in a fresh cloned engine compartment is seated. The air-cooled engine is equipped with a Rasant GT3 intake, has a Individual throttle system, Rennline valve covers and a Fabspeed manifold including a specially made sports exhaust system. And there is also a fantastic wheelset. In fact, Work Meister M1 3P rims with an XXL deep bed are installed, which consistently fill out the wheel arches with the dimensions 18×11 inches at the front and 18×14 inches at the rear together with Toyo Proxes R888R rubber.
Countless other things such as the sports brake system with perforated discs all around, the new chassis, the RAUH world sports steering wheel and the signature on the dashboard make this 993 unique. According to our information, a large part of the work was done by Marcus Fry Racing carried out. If we get more information about the changes, there is of course an update for this report.
