Some well deserved RSR - B4 and After project pics!
 

I've been tossing around ideas for future projects. One of which is to take a roller and build an RSR replica/clone. I know we've got some similar projects underway by members, and it's great to see.

What I'd like to see though, are before and after pics of RSR projects.

Post away Pelicanheads!!

That would be nice. I want to backdate a C2 and do an RSR replica. I'm almost finished with the RS and will get very bored when its done.

Nice work Jack.

Did you put the 11" RSR flares on or 9"?

Jim

Thanks. Fronts are 9".

Rears are 11":

That is a thing of beauty...

Thanks. There are a lot of other RSR clones on the board, though -- both finished and in-progress. Let's see some pictures, guys.

Here is a TRE Motorsport RSR built by Tyson Schmidt. Same guy that built Jacks RSR. They do great work!

Jack, what size wheels and tires are you running?

Call me picky, and to each his own, but I just can't get into the slant nose mods...

Was that ever a factory production or is it something that came purely aftermarket?

Jim

9.5x11x17 Lindsey Racing 2-piece Fuchs with 255/315x17 tires.

$30,000 factory option at one point, most of the slant-noses out there are el-cheapo fiberglass pieces that were put on afterward. The real slant-noses are awesome though and command a premium over pontoon-fendered 930s.

Sorry to hijack the post... Jack I've been looking at 315 17's which I'd prefer or 295 18's, but it looks like there are few choices for 315 17's.

Not RSR...

Here is my conversion from 71 911 P.O.S. to 1971 911ST replica. 9" front and 9" custom rear flares.

I could run 335's also, possibly even 345's. I'm running 1-inch spacers in the back with the 315's. I don't want to overwhelm the fronts, though.

I get BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KD's in 315, as well as Hoosiers. That's the best dry road tire and the best track tire. The only thing harder to get in 17-inch sizes are slicks, although they're available, too.

Jack, with tires that big on a car as light as yours I'm guessing that it's nigh impossible to get that car to break loose? Is your cornering speed pretty much a function of your bravery, then?

They squeal in the corners. And even in a straight line, break loose.

Yeh Jack, but its so much fun. I say that from 1st hand experience:)

Here's my before and after:
