Another RS project. Mine! Part7 DONE(mostly)
 

Well shes running now and on the street. Well not legally yet anyway. I finally figured out the wiring for the 3.2 conversion with all the post from other conversions and Tyson Schmidt. Its running just OK as I need to get the PVC or whatever you call it parts that attach to the oil cooler. She runs good cold but seems to have a little hesitation after she warms up. Thats just one of many little things that need to be addressed before I decided to make her a daily driver.
I also need to bring the Car to TRE and get it aligned and corner balanced. Steve Wong needs to burn a custom chip and I think that I need new tires. I have Tyson's old takeoffs and if you know how he drives then you know the condition of the tires. Hard as a rock and slippery as crap.
For the most part the car has surpassed my expectations but there are lots of little things I need to do to get it where I want it. Any, I thought Id share some gracious pics in hopes to inspire other guys that are doing the same thing. Dam my bank account hurts:)
I want to thank all the guys that have helped out in this project.

Some pics of the front trunk. As you can see I ran the DME wires in the 73 harness and wrapped it in new tape. I also fused the fuel pump to the factory fuse box using the #1 fuse. I had some crap metal so I made a bracket for my light wieght battery. I think that it a pretty clean install. What do you think
:D

Here is a shot of the engine compartment. Not bad for a chef. :D

Doesn't get any better than that, Joseph.

Thanks Matt.

Heres a couple of interior shots. As you can tell the first attempt at upholstery 101 didn't pan out the way I expected. It seems that its starting to peel. I have some new material and will try to do it again.

My compliments to the chef!

It's really looking sharp. You've been working on this for what seems like forever, but I'm sure all the hard work seems worth it now.

You need to bring it out to the tribute this weekend.

Thanks Chuck. It has been forever but then again for me it was always just a hobby. I have picked it up and put it down for months at a time.
I would love to come out but "Chef to the stars" needs to work this weekend.

Here's what I'd give it:

That thing looks BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks Jack. Very funny:D Yes I know, you can take her for a spin on track day. I promised.:) As long as you dont spin. You may with these tires. I was spinning tires in third when I got on it or is it the 7:31 RP.

Wow, very sweet Joseph. Look forward to seeing it in person on a Pelican run:) All your work in the "kitchen" has paid off:)

GREAT JOB! really, really nice!
I might be able to find the PCV connection that you are seeking. Email me through the board and I'll send you my phone #. If you can describe it, I think I may have it.

Thanks for the comment Doug. I need everthing from the valve to the parts to the oil tank. Let me know if you have them and what you would like for the parts. Thanks a lot :D


couldnt upload pic but here is a link.

Its called the ambient air valve.

Stunning! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/ultim...ons/icon14.gif

Looks GREAT.

I bet you could loose a few more lbs if you took some keys off that key chain:p

Awesome! Just Awesome!

I see you got rid of the heater blower and the rear defroster relay but kept the relay panel in the rear. Do you have a summary of how you mapped the chassis wiring harness to the engine wiring harness?

having had a chance to see this car in person I can tell you guys, the attention to detail that Joe put into her is simply off the chart. to have this car built would have cost a small fortune. Joe made it work. Tyson made a big contribution as he is well know for doing (I am sure Joe has a stack of IOU's that Tyson will collect on in the form of cold beer when he is in LA).

Great work Joe! This car really looks outstanding! Keep the pics coming, show them the suspension detail work you did.

WOW that is gorgeous!!!

Nice work! That thing is beautiful! Almost to nice to drive. ;)

Sweet!..............Chef, I think you might have missed your calling. I love the color.

Joseph, Looks unreal! You have done a hell of a job with that one. Enjoy!

Love the car ! .....love the frosted RSR wheels, too !! .....

Beautiful... I wish my car was at that point where I just had to tie up a few loose ends.

"breaking the rear end in 3rd" That 7.31 ring/pinion must be a blast .

Does it exelerate that hard??

Beautiful car! Love the color and how the frosted wheels complement the green. I wish my trunk looked that clean. What muffler/header combo are you using back there? Also, size Lindseys and tires are you running front and rear?

Hey Man!
That looks really NICE! :cool:
You have done GREAT job. :D

Thanks Guys! Its been a long time since she has seen the road. I never planned on this project. It just happened.

Dean,
If I dont put the keys on my key ring I will forget at home. My garage is a half hour away from home now and it sucks to realize that I forgot my keys. You should see my glove box :D

Shuie,
I took the blower out because I cant get the fresh air SS pipe to fit between the muffler and engine case anymore. I mean that I had to recess or pitch the muffler foward so it would not rest on the fiberglass rear bumper.In doing that, I had no room for the pipe to fit. The B&B setup was meant for a Carrera rear bumper which has more room in the rear bumper. In doing that , the tail pipe was hitting the heat exchanger so I had to take a hammer to the back side of the tail pipe and pound it out a bit. I also moved the engine and trans 10MM foward to prevent the muffler from hitting the rear bumper. As far as heat, Ill have to address that later so for now I put a block off plate on the shroud.
As far as the wiring, I just followed the factory wiring along the front trunk and went down thru the factory hole into the car by the petals under the metal straps and thru the large round pipe dodat in the smugglers box. That was the power for the DME and I drilled a small holeover the fuel pump and added a groumat. I wire tied everthing and made sure that none of the wires would shafe. I donta want a fire. I also used that route to run a wire to fuse the fuel pump. I ran that wire to the #1 fuse which was empty. I forgot which one I used to power up the DME, but its all in the fuse box. If it doent make sense PM me.

I owe Tyson alot of beers. I always made sure he got fed gourmet meals while working on my car. Jack in the box and Pacifico beer.
:)

WOW, that car is stunning!! Vey, very nicely done Joseph.

Great work!

Cheers

"breaking the rear end in 3rd" That 7.31 ring/pinion must be a blast .

Well, the tires are hard as a rock so I think thats why. She runs great cold but looses a bit of power when warm.

Its a full B&B setup that I got from the board. Everyone was asking about it but no one bought it. When I got it , it looked brand new. Tire setup is 245,17 X 275,17. It takes alot of massaging to get them to fit. between neg camber, spacers to get them right and rolling of fenders, and clearing of oil lines.

Thanks Doc! I love your cars too. You always seem to put the C2 RSR idea in my head.:D

My lust for that wheel/tire set-up gets more unbearable every time I see one. I had been attempting to justify the inevitable purchase based on performance - but now I just flat out admit I want it - call me a poser if you must.

Anyone care to run down in more detail what worked and what didn't (to make that combo fit) on the Carrera/RS/SC bodied cars?

Absolutely beautiful car.


Don

Joe,
Stellar work. Enjoy!

Well done Joseph, well done! Your car really inspired me for my own backdate project. Now get out and enjoy her!

Very nicely executed Joseph - What a clean looking car.

Viper Green is such a perfect Porsche 911 color!

Joe, that was worth the wait.

I look forward to seeing it in person!

Fantastic.

EEEOWWWW!!!!!! Looks great Joe!!! I just got some new stuff for mine. Pretty stuff, I don't even want to put on cause nobody will see. R-Gruppe next year is gonna be a blast!!

Hey Man!
Send me a C2, and I'll put a RSR under your BUTT!:D ;)

Joe,

Simply awesome! I'm green with envy!

All the best,
Eddy

Nice job Joe!


On the photoshop that is. You really worked your photoshop magic on that Sahara Beige 912E. It actually looks like a Viper Green 911!!!!


Seriously though, great pics. james is right, it looks just as good if not better in person once you see the details.

BTW, Joe doesn't owe me any beers. He's been a great friend, and we help each other out all the time.

Oh, and those tires were fine when I gave them to you, what, like 3 years ago???? LOL! Victoracers don't have a good shelf life.

Burn those up, and get yourself some Toyo RA-1's.

Joe, you told me you sold the 912E to buy the............... Hey, wait a tick.................

HAHAHAHA:) Very funny! Thanks for all the great cooments. It really helps boost the ego and the $$ I spent on it.

Here is a quick video with me farting around the garage and reving it up. I really like the sound of the B&B system. Enjoy!
