Thanks Gab, it definitely gets the job done.
The guy taking the pic was driving a 360 Challenge Stradale (with stripe).. and what a sound!

If you have the clearance to run taller tires than 26" I'd go with MPS2's as the 345's are wider than my 355's, however they're just shy of 28" tall which won't fit into the fender.

I'll be sure to bring it to some of the Lone Star events when I'm in town, but I don't think the concours guys will appreciate the non-shiny paint, and customized everything. But who knows.

Glad you dig the project, and thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the advice on the tires, but I too cannot go to a taller tire.....


Don't sweat the paint---LSR doesn't worry about it being "as it came from the factory". That's not what it's about.....more of "how clean can you get it", than anything. Bring it anyway, contest or not.



this has been a fun read!!!!

Other than that a few tricks but regular 935 spec stuff with some old K27s . This is my Daytona motor . Only ran it at 1 bar

First, I'm not a Turbo guy but have a question about the AirFuelRatio in this run: I see the AFR is very close to 14.0 for this run and in a non-turbo 3.2L this would be very lean at WOT. Is 14.0 AFR about right for the Turbo cars? and if so why leaner with a turbo?

Thanks.

I guess it's the only view that most people get of our cars is the rearview

[SCHNELE]

Healy 3000s are the real butt draggers and they are designed to look that way, looks fast standing still.

Gab

I am excited for you. You must be so over the moon to see your baby finally finished! I have enjoyed the wild ride all along.

We want detailed reports and pics of the long trip!

Awesome Car!!!!!

[Reaper930]

Matteo: Sure thing, there will be a thread which I'll link to this thread about the trip. I'm so overjoyed with excitement and exhillaration - and i'm not even there yet!

A spot of bad news though, the car's custom brake hats are causing delay with the engineers - and the shop wants to shake the car down at willow springs. I might have to fly back to California to pick her up on the 1st of December, but either way there will be many detailed photos etc.

Don't worry we'll still be making the Drago event with Justin (JuiceRSR) on the 6th!

Gabe, what's the latest bro?

It sounds to me like they just want to run the BEAST on thetrack and call it a "shake down " haaha! Just messing... can't wait to see video and pics of you guys on the Dragon.

[Reaper930]

Okay the following pics show the car almost done, the rear brakes aren't on and we're rethinking the brake setup we started with. The rear deck isn't closed all the way so that's where there are gaps above the reflector panel.

The body guys were making some touch ups and minor cosmetic work when I was there, we were working on mirror placement etc.

The project won't be completed until February or so, but I'll keep everyone posted on the brake issues and what we end up going with.

But for now, please enjoy the pics...

[Craig 930 RS]

Gawd, that thing is gonna kick some @ss when finished............

[JBL930]

Looking good! Have you looked at AP brakes, there is a 935 here in the UK that races with them, very successful car so they must be good, here are some pics http://www.chimptuneracing.com/Winter%20rebuild%2003-04%20Photo%20Album/pages/DSC00308_JPG.htm You should be able to flick through the pics and see something there

[Craig 930 RS]

993TT Big Reds with higher friction pad in the back - perfectly balanced and relatively affordable.
And it's red ;-) matches those gauges.

[RarlyL8]

My Gawd that's mean looking !!!
Feb due date? Not going to make the Dragon I take it? March would be better weather.

[Dutchie]

awesome Gabriel !!


Cheers,

Ed

[Rodsrsr]

Simply incredible! Looks much better now that shes sitting on the ground. I can just imagine how cool that must look cruising down the freeway. Nice job!

[Sarah]

wow...i look forward to seeing your next pics!! it would be great to hear what it sounds like too taking off...cool.

[Reaper930]

Thanks for the kind words guys, the shop is going to get video of the dyno sessions when the brakes are done etc.

Brian: Yeah not going to make the dragon in this car but i'm taking the BMW 550i, she's pretty tossable and fun.

Craig: Yes 993tt setup for idiot proof reliability and performance.

Although I was dissapointed that we weren't able to get her on the road this time - I do promise it will be worth the wait.

[Tug68]

Awsome is all I can say.......
