Nothing looks better than a lowered Euro-spec Carrera. Just a work of art. Why can't they send them here that way?

Stock height in Europe is a little different than US spec "stock height". You guys have it a little better in terms of legal car specs.

Phillipe,
I remember from several months ago when you were trying to figure out what engine was in the '72S. That is fantastic it has a 911/83 engine. That car will a blast to drive. What projects do you have to do yet on the car?

more pics
thanks to all for the support
fryarrds : you're right ! ![]() another pics ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My project is to built a nice RS replica, i have the right engine, rev counter, wheels, duck tail, brakes etc...based on the 72 S I hope i'll be close to the true car, by the way i'll built an "amazing" exhaust : 3 cylinders to one pipe to one little muffler, the same the other side, and then the two little mufflers to one single pipe to a bigger muffler, i still have to calculate the pipe lenght .... I've almost heard this configuration : by far the most incredible sound on MFI engines (IMO)(i've seen IMO i guess it's : In My Opinion?) A little work on body and repaint, new suspensions, stock braking a little mass reducing And go to the track by the road ![]() ![]() Philippe |
