The Beautiful Puzzle: 1987 3.3L 930 EFI Build

[CaptainCalf]

Checked both fuel pumps today and ironically the newer looking front pump was frozen while the rear, which looks original was fine.

Could you guess from the pic which one is toast?

[CaptainCalf]

Cheers to all you guys who'd rather spend a week workin in the garage then an hour in the office

[PrimeMvr]

Amen to that Cap'n! Happy New Year!!

HNY Rick ! ! !

Looking forward to you getting to the final stages so I can pay you a visit.

I just noticed you did indeed change the intercooler mounts to rods/fittings (like talked about earlier in the thread) - big improvement - you did a very nice job with them!

Nice DT glass!!!

[CaptainCalf]

Anybody notice what's missing?

[911 tweaks]

let me see...the 3rd brake lite & rear wiper...??

[WERK I]

......license plate?

[CaptainCalf]

911 tweaks is right 3rd light & wiper are gone & I think it's much better...

Dave, you're also right. I didn't figure I needed a plate until this monster is ready to eat pavement, which may be soon if I can get my hands on the final set of parts

[JeremyD]

You going to add a 3rd brake light? As someone that's been tagged pretty hard in the rear in a 911 - I find the stock brake lights woefully inadequate.

Car looks great. Looks like Tony did well selling to you...

Happy New Year Jeremy!

They'll have to catch me before they can hit me

Yep, I told Tony before he pass the torch to me that I'd do my best to do it right

[Ronnie's.930]

Removing the rear wiper assembly was one of the first "mods" I made to my car when I got it - I always thought it was odd that Porsche would put such a fluff item on their supercar (kind of like the headlight washers) . . . but I guess some would say a/c in a supercar is "fluff" too, and I think of it as a necessity!

I agree Ronnie and I'll be adding A/C once the summer hits

Indeed, glad my baby found a new home with someone with both the skills and the budget to put everything back together properly, lol.

Thanks again Tony

I don't know about the skills cuz I'm just learning as I go and budget, what budget? Once on the slippery slope all budget ideas are lost

[350HP930]

I know I will both suprised and relieved when I find out how much you had to spend, minus the interior mods of course, lol.

[PFM]

Capt,

As long as that busted budget pays off in smiles per mile its all good. If you want a $$$$ ROI I think you may be sad.

EFI & motor rebuild/upgrade plus brakes, suspension & interior bits, $30K

Dropping the hammer on anybody you want any time you want to, PRICELESS

[911 tweaks]

totally agree on dropping the hammer on anyone WHEN EVER YOU WANT... can't wait for a video utube clip you post...

Great job...almost there...
