General Information

Vehicle Name	911RS, 914-6/GT
Year	7174
Make	Porsche
Model	911RS and 914-6/GT
Color	Prussian Blue and Saturn Yellow
History	The 71, 911 is an RS tribute car that I built using as many factory parts as possible. No fancy suspension bits and pieces, just good old factory parts that went on the original RS. It does have the 18mm factory 930 anti-sway bar and late model S-Calipers restored by "you know who". The engine is a 3.0 MFI build using an early SC motor as the base. The compression is 9.5:1 and again, aside from the slightly larger displacement, all of the goodies aree factory correct. The goal is to have a reliable car that rides and drives the way the factory intended it to. The 74, 914-6/GT was built on the exact same principle. I wanted to have as many factory goodies as possible as I was building this car. The oil system is all factory GT and the motor is a 2.5 liter twin plug six built on a sandcast aluminum case.

Wheels and Tires

Nothing too exciting here. 7 and 8x15" Fuchs all around with RSR finishes provided by Harvey Weidman. Pretty much stock tire sizes as would show up on a 1980 911SC search at tire rack. Pirellis for the 914-6/GT and Kumhos for the 911.
