How many 911 3.6 conversions out there ?
 
I keep reading about them and they seem to be poping up all the time.
So what about raising your post and throw a pic of it in as well as a count number?
You could also state the car which is based/ gearbox / upgrades /color (if no pic)
Lets see how many would appear.

I am just finishing the conversion of a 1980 SC coupe . 1990 3.6. There are few of these cars around here and mine will be the only 3.6 I know of.Long list of upgrades 17x7.5/9.5 wheels ,23/30 torsions ,revalved Bilsteins,Carrera sways,964 brakes,2 Carrera coolers,bolt in rollbar etc.. Can,t wait to drive it again.Street driven only so far.The biggest hassle is the work to reconnect the A/C and heat.

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.

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].
