I've put mine on the market again. There's been a lot of interest, but, to most people, it's just a cool -- and expensive -- parts car .... If I sell it, I'm gonna buy an early 90s Mazda MX-5 (Mazda Miata to our pals in the USA) and go racing! How's your ride?

Here's the A$$ shot
 The motor is a 3.0 liter twin plug based on a '78 SC core. It is running 10.5:1 CR with Mahle RSR pistons & cylinders. The cam is a GE-60 style from our own Camgrinder and 46mm PMO's. The original Bosch dizzy was mofdified by Gerry Woods for twin plug. I built the engine myself using Waynes book to guide me. The fan finish was done by Auto Associates to duplicate the OEM finish of that period. It is a Glasurit paint blend with a clearcoat. Auto Associates can provide details. The color of the car is signal orange which was an original color avaialable for the RSR. I bought the exterior LHS mirrior from Mid America (Tweeks). Quality is not great. At some point I may try to repair my original mirror, Once I get the car shaken down I'll post some dyno numbers, the curb wt, some driving impressions and some before and after acceleration times. The acceleration data (40-60 mph, 60-80, 80-100 etc) should be interesting as I did the trials on the original 2.4 CIS 911T before I started the project. The original times were almost a spot-on match to the orignal road test results. |

Very nice! I'm highly considering repainting my 911T in it's original color - Signal Orange. I have a duckbill decklid on it now, and I think I might get an RS style front bumper. I think I'll keep it narrow for now.

fan finish? I didn't know they had a fan finish and thought they were all just bare metal...can anyone else provide more details about this?
it almost looked like fiberglass when I saw it. BTW why can't we use fiberglass fans? don't the horizontal fans of the 935 etc... use fiberglass fans? is it reliability issues? MJ |

The fan finish is the trickest part of the whole car!! But the rest of it is fantastic as well.

I am just in awe of what people can do to create their own cars. You must be very proud...and deserve to be!
