Lightweight turbo RSR, custom fenders flares front bumper
 

Hi guys,

I finally have some decent pictures to share of the custom work on my project.
It has been a long road and I will do a full build post once the car is finished, but here are the broad strokes / goals:

1976 non sunroof 911 chassis
930 euro spec motor, full rebuild, custom cams, custom turbo, twin plug, coil on electronic ignition etc., etc., etc.
930 trans full rebuild and re-geared w lsd
Full coil-over conversion
Custom roll bar and half cage

Street driven / track ready….i plan to daily drive the car, weather permitting
Around 2000 lbs wet
400hp / 400tq to the wheels
Race car / minimalist interior and exterior

Being built be Dawe’s Motorsports, Stroudsburg PA….a great family owned shop run by Peter with his sons Kevin and Trevor…..link here: Home - Dawe's Motorsports

These guys have mad skills and build mostly race cars…..but I have seen a few “regular” 911’s, Caymans and the like up there as well.

We needed to get some wide wheels under the car so the narrow body work had to go….

The rear flares bolt on with cam locks and are custom molded to allow an addition 1” of lowering without rubbing….they are about 13” wide.

The fenders have been widened to about 11”….i didn’t want rsr fenders on a street car.

The front bumper / spoiler is a custom unit based on the 1974 turbo RSR.

Feedback is appreciated.
Enjoy.

Kevin

Looks great.

Are you making more of the front valance?

2000 lbs...... wow, I was shooting for 2400 on my project.

Oh my! I like that!

I have a narrow body turbo car that may not be nb for long.

Sweeet
 

Awesome Car Kevin!

And?? what about tires and wheels? jdorociak@gmail.com I have some 3 piece 18" wheels that are 11.75 and 8.75 that would look nice under those flares. Jim

hey Jim, My name is Helio, I like the blk wheels can you call me with the info 210-473-7158

Kevin, what would it take to get my hands on a copy of your front bumper? I have been searching for one for awhile now.

I like the detachable rear qtrs!

Hi Guys,

Been off forum for a while, but i am going to see the boys this Thursday and see about getting the car finished up, untill then here are some additional pictures.....i actually can't wait to get this car on the road and try not to kill myself:rolleyes:

If you see anything you like including the front bumper / valance call the shop, I think they will produce it on a per order basis....

The rear flares are cool too, they are custom molded to allow an extra inch of lowering without rubbing issues.

I just noticed the safety wiring of the rolled pin...I (we) need to do that. Good job on the body mods. I asked a question over at 911 technical board about the rear tail. What brand and model is it?

that is a nice looking car! very, very nice vision and great looking on the execution side.

this car woould be perfect for a proper 917 centerlock style wheel conversion. great car!!!!

Stopped by the shop yesterday.....things are coming along.....couple more pics and the wheels we will use, Peter had them at the shop they will get powder coated black 8.5" front 10.5" rear, 17 dia.

Is that shifter mounted in the E brake location?

Do you have the contact details for the shop, please?

Merlin, yes it mounts in the ebrake location and puts the shifter in a really good spot....it is a hargett shifter:

HPP Hargett Precision HPP



Kroggers here you go:

heres a better picture, this without the ebrake....there is an ebrake there now, i will see if i have a picture on my other computer....

Do they work on 901/911 pattern boxes?

yes, they make for 901, 915, 930, g50.

here is a better picture with the ebrake....http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1324309070.jpg

I don't like the e-brake location being under that tower. Looks awkward for hill starts, and useless in a rally handbrake turn situation. :)

Damn! That's one fine looking car. Nice work.

I have a hargett too and since I have 4-point harness, I am not able to reach handbrake while driving at all.

If you want a rally handbrake, you have to go hydraulic anyway

I have a 5 point harness and can reach the handbrake fine and use it often enough that I would want to retain the access to it.

Man you must be very tall (or have arms like an ape;) )

Actually I am pretty short but I must have legs longer than my arms. I always wish the steering wheel were closer, the seat lower, and the pedals further forward. The 911 is the car that fits me better than every other car I have driven.

I have the seat prety far forward for better geometry with the steering wheel.

Small highjack if I may - Flieger, what seats do you have - highjack over

I am sold. Ordering one next month. One thing I like is the shifter rod. I am running a G50 and thinking about moving the engine a little forward so it looks like I might be able to make a short rod.

Thanks for the pics.

A friend had some replicas of real RSR bucket seats made but the guy who made them made them like you would a mold. Chopped strand fiberglass, very heavy. TRE makes some that are much lighter and are like these, I believe. The headrests are just stock I believe. I got them from the same friend.

Yea, I kicked around the idea of having a hydraulic ebrake mounted elsewhere, but as it is the project is out of control.....will see how it goes and report.

Merlin, I would suggest calling Mark and let him know what you are thinking he should be able to tell you if shortening that rod will change the shifting geometry in any way.

Kevin

Cool - thanks

How about some original 15 x 8 and 11 magnesium Maxi lites to go with the car!

getting closer.....

Nice work on the wiring, Is this going to be a track only car or streeted? I don't see any front directionals.

I am thinking about ditching the factory wiring and cleaning it up with a painless wiring kit.

street....we have little flush led markers that will be in a small hole on the front bumper....the kit is from here:

Spaghetti Menders

The crew at Dawes wired this up, but I have been thinking about laying out a test board and building up a "kit" for the mext project....I just cant wrap my head around putting it together in the car from scratch....

switch panel picture.....turn signal and started button ar mounted to the top plate of the shifter....no picture of that yet.

Nice work. Seeing as I am running a stand alone engine management, I am considering using a prefab wiring kit from Painless Wiring. I have a good 12v electronics background so the harness should be easy to integrate. Just retrofitting the harness to run the factory gauges will be the challenge.

yea its been a while.....
