I'm with him! It's a joy to watch your projects come together -- and you have several big ones all happening at once. You have tackled that fancy concentric wiring task head-on and won that battle. That's over the top.

Best of luck on the build. Patrick

I hardly ever come over here to the Tech forum anymore as I'm from the old skool days.
I found this thread. It took me all of 4 pages to realize who this is building this car. I've seen it the background of a lot of art restoration videos. Nice to see what that was all about over the last 5 years.

Definitely an R Gruppe candidate. Just like your "day" job this shows a lot of perfection.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends!

Judging by your picture, I think you mean millimeters.

I was trying to picture how something that size would fit on the front of a 911, and having no success.

Thank you for bringing us along on this amazing project!

30cm is close to one foot. 30mm is just over 1 inch.

Well you’re both right and I’m wrong on both counts!!

That’s what happens after staring at a screen for too long.

I’m on to version 20 or so of the duct- just playing around with shapes and optimized airflow. Right now I have one that looses no velocity, has minimal static pressure and moves more air at 40mph than the previous version which I thought was good. I’ll print one and test fit it soon.

Right now, the duct is about 30mm x 170mm.

I don’t talk much about the car in the videos- they’re not about Porsches, but I get a LOT of questions about it, lots from clients too.

I’ve heard of R Gruppe, but don’t know much about it. This car is part of the full send society, where the answer is always “yes” and “lets f’ing go!”

That wiring harness needs a gallery showing. Full send indeed
