@ted...the dish on those rear wheels is insane. Looks fantastic. You're in SD? Would love to see it in person.

Also, where did you source your Avon tires? I need to order a set.

You might find this interesting too:



And this:



930 trailing arms adjustable inner pickups and custom spring plates. I generally prefer how these mods were done on my car versus what I see on the OP's car.

very nice, now it's all driver dependent...
Have you got any in car video yet?

Looking good Mike! How does the vintage racing work out with a 3.6 engine? Do you just get classed with gt cars or exhibition or something? Looked into vintage rules a bit for a car I'm thinking of building and the rules seemed much tighter than the typical poc or pca regs. Didn't look like I'd be able to put in a newer bigger engine.

Thank you Cory, depends on the group and the event.
I like to race, but not competing for any season points race.
True race history and a correct motor required for Historic racing.

ted,



That is a qualifying lap at Sears Point for a PRC race. That time is still a class record by over a second. The car has the second and third best qualifying laps too.

I was still having some issues with gas/brake pedal spacing so heel/toe is non-existent. Third gear was too tall relative to second so there are some issues with gear choices in a couple of places.

The car is fantastic to drive. Originally I was using 16" Goodyear bias ply slicks. The lap above was done on Avon bias-ply slicks. Now the car is setup on 16" Hoosier radials and is faster than ever. The engine is a 3.6L. The class I race in has limits on intake and exhaust so the HP at the crank is around 310.

Thank you enjoyed that, it will be my benchmark if I get my 911 to Sonoma.
Love that track my first time was last spring.

What's a good lap at Laguna Seca for you?

[winders]

You're welcome. You should come up for a PRC race weekend sometime. Sears Point is the best track on the west coast!

I haven't DE'd or raced a car at Laguna Seca yet. I have a lot of laps around the track on a motorcycle though. The PRC might have a Laguna Seca date the first weekend in August with NASA. That is still up in the air though.

Yes, the smog crap got to me, and didn't have time to use her on the track, like I'd like to. I sold her to someone who took the motor, brakes and suspenders off for a race car tub he had laying around. Ruby's body was in Rancho Cucamonga area last I heard, waiting to be resurrected with stock bits.

Still having fun with my old 911.

My rainy track day video.
Drying track with a passenger so holding back a little at 8/10s.
This 911 has fulfilled all my desires for a fun, fast and reliable street car.

I love that body style. It was what I was going to build until I realized that my project car was once a 1973, so I had to build an earlier style RSR. I still have a hole in my garage for a later RSR like this one...(but also a hole in my wallet)

Beautiful paint scheme!

Not trying to hijack..... just showing you what the steel work might look like so you can get pumped up about your project....

Sorry to hijack the thread here for a sec. @Slider79SC where did you get those flares? Im looking for some fronts like that!
