eimkeith · 12-05-2006, 03:17 AM

well, 911teo's IROC returned from the paintshop this week,so we are getting prepared to finish the build. - that being said, I thought you guys might enjoy seeing what we've been doing to avoid boredom in the interim...

- more to come!

what would something like that cost to have done? assuming one provided you with a C2? ballpark.

I'd be interested a project like this, as is seems like a neat way do the RSR thing... coilovers, 3.6, etc, all installed.

What kind of wheels are you running? The last 964 / RSR conversion I saw had odd looking front fuchs. I know the offset creates a few issues...

Looking great, subscribed!

Guys this project is UNREAL. I am not going to give up any of the details... but the powerplant planned for this baby is going to put mine to shame..

Honestly this is the dog's bollocks of the backdates. And it's a street car.

You have seen how evil Keith and Aaron are and how they lure you into crazy stuff...
Well I have seen this C2 in person... and all I could say is WOW. No expense spared. NONE.

After seeing my car and this one next to one another I think this is the way to go!

James I suggest you PM Keith for a quote...

well, I have a C2 with lots of miles on her (new engine) and when Scruffy is done in the coming months I might be tempted to start a new project. Not sure if I want to go this way, but I'd like to learn more. This is similar to what those guys over in the UK are doing, no?

Like the oil door ala '72 and cannot wait to see the finished product.

Reminds me of when we did my car... but will turn out a lot nicer and faster!

well, the exterior RSR backdate is 74.4 hours - doing a good job grafting an early front panel (with correct bumper mounts), removing/filling all the 964 rocker indentations/holes, shortening the jack points, removing the rear bumper mounts and modifying the frame for proper early bumper mounting arrangement, welding/filling the sunroof, properly attaching 930 flares, modifying the leading edge of the early front fenders, modifying the factory rear bumpers to follow the contour of the 930 flares, modifying the decklid hinges to accept the early decklid.

Additionally, grafting in the 72 oil door assemly and modifying the 964 oil tank is 13 hours.

- of course, this particular job is getting a dash transplant, manual window conversion, etc., etc. to end up with as close to an early RSR as possible (visually), using a 964 chassis for all the suspension, braking (ABS), and rigidity as a modern car provides.

needless to say, we are pretty excited to have the opportunity to push the envelope (because of couragous clients like the owner of this car and 911teo) repeatedly with these cars.

but, I digress from the point of this thread - giving you guys something cool to look at while you should be busy at work!

Very nice, seems like a good way to go for RSR conversion. Subscribed.

Are you guys keeping all AC/Heating stuff on that car?

Mayby this sort of thing will put a floor under the 964 prices. There's a lot to be said for starting w/ a 964 chassis compared to the older 911 chassis.

Looks like a real fun and expensive project.

keep the pics coming we love them

yep, but with early controls, and hidden A/C.

I need creative input on a hidden, IPOD based sound system (probably radio head-unit delete)

Ideas?

Also, it looks like black or silver are the customer's top choices for color - any input on that?

very cool

Consider one of the iPod-ready Alpine CD decks such as the CDA-9852 or CDA-9857. It connects to the iPod data port with a $30 cable (KCA-422i). You can put the iPod anywhere convenient, e.g. in the glove compartment. You control the iPod from the radio and have access to the important functions, e.g. album search, artist search, etc. The menus use the radio's front panel which is something of a pain, but it's far better than the alternatives I looked at and most importantly doesn't restrict you to only playing a few pre-defined play lists as do many of the alternative iPod interfaces.
