http://www.rightmove.co.uk/ is the most popular property search site in the UK at the moment - you can set up email notification for houses in your spec and location, might be worth you getting that going in case you miss a good one. Cobham is like 30 miles from me & other 911 nut-heads so you shouldn't be short of things to do. Good luck with the rest of the build, its looking awesome. |
I lived in England for 7 years before moving to the US. Never owned a RHD car.
RHD cars don't feel right to me... I have been on the track with Caterhams and Elises and the driving positions threw all my reference points off... |
Wow looks awesome! Keep us updated!

The only problems are when u get into a parking garege and u need to lean over to get the tix... But with a car like the 911 is not a big deal.
Highways are 3 to 4 lanes... most A roads are 2 lanes. It could be tricky on minor B-roads that are single carriageways... but then you just floor it and overtake people.... :D |
i drive RHD cars overhear all the time for one of my buddies who imports cars from japan.
really isn't an issue i don't think. its nice for drive through etc....they can just hand the food to your passanger.... i guess that doesn't apply to the 911, i never allow food in mine...but.... I WANT MORE PICS -once again, looking crazy nice..... are you still getting a ford gt? my dad was minutes away from getting one about a year ago....very nice cars. |
Pictures really don't do justice on how nice this car is and the workmanship is outstanding...Zuffenhaus is making a name for themselves!
|
Mike, find yourself a nice piece of land and I'll build you a lovely house in Cobham!
David, I'm doing most of the stuff myself with the exeption of the paint. this will be tackled by either a good friend or a relative who just so happens to own the body shop that pimp my ride UK was filmed at. (bonus!) |

I probably should get back to work, but:

very nice project.
|
much too pretty to run on a track or on the road!
|
Wow! That car is going to be simply stunning!!!
|
Great color too. Whatever was reflecting on those body shots created a really neat effect...almost makes you want to bow down and quietly chant.
|
So there it is, we are obviously and simply in love with the old school widebody of the 911 with fuchs to the poit where it doesnt even have to have an engine or a motor for us to admire it.
|
the wicked relfection across the car was from the polished/chrome trailer nearby
adds a realy 'artsy' feeling...which is good, like everything else done to this car. |
simply, WOW.

Some little details.....
Wevo Motor Mounts http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171721816.jpg The NEW 6-speed short gear ratio transmission (still with the tag) http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171721914.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171721935.jpg |
The RSR style crossed strut bar....
Note the mounts... I asked Zuffenhaus to make it removable... so that I can put the groceries in the trunk when it's not on the track... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171722066.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171722093.jpg |
I love the position of the shock reservoirs... easy to reach and adjust...

A detail of the camber plates....
The front wheels 9.5x17 and tires 275/40-17 are a bit.... wide... Because of the coil over we needed to use all the track flexibility of the 935 front suspension.... Fortunately there is a lot of camber to be dialed in... but we might have to go with narrower tires.... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171722351.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171722371.jpg |
Last for now....
a pic of the RSR finished Lindsey Fuchs.... the fit is perfect (11x17 with 315/35-17)... And to think these wheels are going to go.... such a shame. Stay tuned on that front.... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171722501.jpg |
If ya need any tips on alignment specs......my 930 is really well set up and uses the identical sized tires you will have....
|
three words:
move over Jack.... |
Those wheels are going to go where? I'll "store them" for you.
|
I have made the decision to go with centerlocks RSR wheels. So the Lindsey Fuchs will go once the hubs and wheels are ready.
|
Well, I'll be right here waiting to take them off your hands of you need some $$$

BTW this car is got to be one of the most SICK cars I've looked at on this board. Nice work. These guys building her are artists and remind me of Tyson in the attention to detail. I wish I could do stuff like they do. Man, WOW! |

I would be interested to know what specs you are running? I am running a 315 rear / 245 front... Thanks, Taylor |
Matteo ,what up bro ? Just spent half the nite at my job drooling over this thread ..Man what a build ,your a fortunate man ..where is the car
and for that matter have you moved yet? Is it soup yet ? the suspense is unbearable ! PS Definetively CENTER LOCK! |
Taylor - What tires? What usage? Track?
Those narrower fronts require a different front specification. |
