Here's one. (Sorry, in advance, for the bandwidth useage.)

In 2000, I had a 1993 3.6 put into my 1973 tub:

But then I totaled the car by hitting a wall at Laguna Seca at the end of 2002, and the drivetrain went into version 2 of the car.

Hey, Tyson and or Jack....how much is the add piece for the 3.8 wing?

Jack Olsen 09-02-2005 02:07 PM

60-inch wing, uprights and endcaps, at GT Racing will set you back over $1,200. :eek:

I made my own end caps, had KevinP73 make me a set of uprights, and got a slightly-misformed wing for free from the manufacturer (who couldn't sell it).

There's got to be a way to get the wings cheaper. It's a very simple part.

Picture is pre modifications....
Engine
'97 3.6 Vario-Ram [13,600 original miles]
Wevo semi solid engine mounts
no heat, no air
3" resonator tips direct from cats
Turbo clutch

Suspension
Elephant 23 front, 29 rear torsion bars
Elephant adjustable sway bars front and rear
Elephant poly/bronze throughout
Elephant low friction a-arm mounts
Rennsport mono balls front and rear
Rennsport triangulated strut brace
Bilstein Sport rear, HD front
7" X 16" front, 8" x 16" rear W/1 1/8" spacers [H&R]
Lowered WAY down there.....rolled the left front fender using a piece of 1" PVC schedule 40 and a hammer!
Experts said the suspension was going to beat me to death.
They were wrong.....comfortable but PLANTED.

Body
Took the big, ugly turbo whale tail off, had the holes plugged the
old fashioned way [with metal, by hand] and repainted. Looking for a way to mount a removeable wing without drilling holes in the outside [visible] metal. The early '87-'89 Carreras look so much better without the wings [just my opinion, of course].

I bought Bill's 964 3.6 and stuffed it into my '85 Targa. While doing so backdated the car to look like a '72 RS.

Stock engine and 915 gearbox. Suspension and brake updates to follow.
