Gabe that wing will aesthetically balance your car with the extended nose look of the slant.

Flieger 12-17-2008 09:50 AM

That wing will look awesome on your Turbo. It will complete the "935" transformation. :cool:

Rodsrsr 12-17-2008 11:41 AM

+ one on that wing. It is the missing component to complete the look. Actually Gabe, your car would look still cool if it didn't have a deck lid at all! But seriously, this wing was made for your ride!

Reaper930 12-17-2008 06:25 PM

Well we're going to go with that style wing but i'm waiting to hear back from the shop on the fitment of the intercooler for the wing, I don't want to hack up an original so once they let me know what will work we'll either go for the real deal or the A.I.R. one (if we have to cut it and modify it to work).

I totally agree on the asthetics point, it is THE wing...

spence88mph 12-17-2008 07:00 PM

that 934 is so hot VZ Drool.....

Yep, looking forward to seeing the 934 wing on Gab's car, will really make it...

VZ935 12-18-2008 08:27 AM

I thought that rear deck lid went on another car and when talking to my buddy about a K3 wing for another 935 I bought it came up that this wing was still lose!

Yeah that Hagestad/Haywood 934.5 is badass .. it is virtually a 935 as it has a lot of 935 pieces including the ti axles....

Gabe , I will have photos for you by the weekend

juicersr 12-18-2008 04:16 PM

Ok, there has to always be a dissenting opinion. Personally, i dig the GT2 wing more than the period correct 934.5 piece or the evo wing, which both look great on the race cars, but are a little too much IMO for the street.

I vote stay with the GT2...it will allow you to make some functional cold-air feeds into the turbos:D

VZ935 12-20-2008 06:32 PM

Back in the box :)

Reaper930 12-20-2008 06:58 PM

Van, in the first pic through the oil cooler intake, is that carbon fiber weave I see? Is the whole wing carbon or fiberglass with a carbon wing blade?

The wings on most of my 935's have been carbon while the body parts/deck lid have been glass, ... I am not sure but I think it is glass

spence88mph 12-21-2008 12:29 PM

I'm lost for words on that garage collection, here's one... FUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK.

VZ935 12-21-2008 11:12 PM

Gabe ,

If you decide you want the wing let me know...If you want it quick I need to know quick :) ... FYI, I will be in the UAE/Dubai driving in the 24 Hour race so I will be gone the first two weeks of Jan, if you want it and can wait until I get back that is fine by me

Yeah, what he said!!!

Love the old school pin-striping on the tail!!

I need to check my stash too.. I could have sworn there was similar tail laying around.

Reaper930 12-21-2008 11:53 PM

Van, well the shop is saying that if its carbon that makes it unusable as we'll have to cut the initial part that comes off the rear window and make it more horizontal to fit the intercooler because as it sits it will conflict with the flanges:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3116/...894623c8_b.jpg

So I think I'll pass on an original for now until I get a different intercooler designed. I'd rather cut up a replica than an original.

Have fun in the UAE, I was in Dubai last week, the weather was BEAUTIFUL for once :)

onboost 12-22-2008 03:31 AM

Gabe,

Think this is the first shot I've seen with the engine fitted. Did you get to do some testing while you were here? Thoughts comments or did I miss this elsewhere?

Love the way the matte-blk finish accentuates the cures and changes in body contour!!

Reaper930 12-22-2008 05:18 AM

Yeah didn't get to do any testing as the rear brakes still weren't done but its all good. I'll be taking delivery in June after the dyno time and track time to settle the car in. That's the first chance I'll have to get back to the US. Check the sig link for more pics of the engine lid lifted. :) Glad you like

krasuskyp 12-22-2008 06:12 AM

Gabe - every next shot I see of that thing has me more astounded. Farquin' A! The juxtposition of the polished wheel / intercooler against the caught-in-the-right-light sheen of the matte body and all its firckin resplendant curves, contours, and character - punctuated by them subtle yet violent dual center tips - man 'o f'n man.

Relegatin me to JoJo the Idiot Circusboy here that thing does.

Sorry, had to get that off me chest.

What's best is that you've (IMO) cobbled something better than the Family isself. Execution in its finest.

Awesome.

I think you misunderstood me ..... all 935's I have owned , the deck lid has been fiber glass and only the element has been carbon . So the decklid is fiber glass. But that is OK . We were keeping that wing in our spares and would only consider letting it go to someone in the loop :)

There will be 90 cars going off at the start....and the track in Dubai is awesome. Also going to hit the desert in a sandrail for some serious fun!

WERK I 12-22-2008 08:21 AM

What will you be piloting on the Dubai track?

I missed the part where the drip rails were removed. Looks awesome!

Dutchie 12-22-2008 10:22 AM

Thats one serious engine ! any pictures from the rear ? that exhaust looks nice too :cool:

Van you are living the dream aren't you

Hey Gabe, Paul could not have been more poetic in the description of your car, it is absolutely outstanding and one of my favorite superlatives RESPLENDENT which means brilliantly shining but clearly as this is a matte finish it is a shine of confidence in its sinister nature.

SCHNELE 12-22-2008 01:48 PM

By the way Gabe the tanks on that intercooler are awesome.

slow&rusty 12-22-2008 05:33 PM

Your car is damn " fiery smoking hot"...I get scared that I need to keep two things by my side when I open your BlackBird thread:
1) Halon fire system
2) Local Fird Dep't on call...just in case...

You should send some of your Aluminum (intercooler, bits, pieces etc) to me...it will leave my little hands looking like jewellery...have you seen some of my work?

Yasin

dave egan 12-22-2008 05:37 PM

Yasin , Do you do metal polishing full time? , Do you do large aluminum bits? Please e-mail me off line , as I need a bunch of parts done. thanks; dave e-mail = dei_cvh@charter.net

Nothing too fancy . A BMW with a diesel .... never even knew such a car existed. This race is dominated by Porsche's . They have over 100 sign ups and will allow 90 cars for the start . Teams from all over the word , should be fun.

Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear tested one of those. The thing rev's to over 6K RPM's!!!

flatsixnut 12-22-2008 06:40 PM

Using Van's 934.5 rear tail is the missing link for your beast. Anything short of this will be the Black Bird's flaw. It is your car...and what a car it is, so what ever makes you hapopy is cool.

My opinion which really means nothing...is that the GT2 style wing is too modern for your oldschool 935 look.

Very nice build!

cole930 12-22-2008 06:50 PM

Reaper930 12-22-2008 11:58 PM

Van - You have a PM :)

krasuskyp: You have a way of putting things just right - thanks so much, glad you can enjoy it as much as I do. It wouldn't have been possible without the help of this board.

Schnele - thanks, originally I wasn't sure about keeping the intercooler but research has shown that its hard to find a better one for this motor. Eventually I will have one done with Secean cores (sp?).

Yasin- I might take you up on that offer, PM me with details on what exactly you do.

kycarguy 935 - Thanks, it was the first thing done to the chassis - I hated the drip rails.

Cole - Amen :)

flatsixnut - yeah its modern but essential for the motor that's in there - but don't worry it will be one of two tails seen on this car :)

I think Yasin can do great things this is some of his work if i,m not mistaken ? I,m restoring a few old trial bikes and know how much time it takes :)

Ed - Yes correct, that is my work! Thanks for the plug, I greatly appreciate it. I have literally hundreds of before and after pics from polishing and restoring parts for many folks over the years.

My very best - Yasin

Dutchie 12-24-2008 05:13 AM

The car needs at least a polished intercooler with those pimping wheels ;)

Flieger 12-24-2008 10:22 AM

When do we see the wheel fans in place?

Reaper930 12-24-2008 06:30 PM

Amen Dutchie - I'm going to be sending it to Yasin here in a little bit :).

Flieger - I'm going to find out who the best person to restore the wheels fans is and have them do them. They'll be on there in a month or two :).
