"Great looking car!!! One question, what does the blue triangular sticker on the front fender mean? Is it an indicator to the circuit breaker under the front hood?"

jeff - the car has 2 blue triangles. the solid blue triangle at the front of the front gaurd indicates to the safety crews where the battery is located. the other one (at the rear of the bonnet) has a lightning bolt and points to the external battery kill switch. the car has a kill switch in the cabin also.

Great looking car.
What about some interior pics?

we also decided to fit a bunch of the parts i have been gathering over the last few years, including 911R lights kits, mesh grills, centre fill cap, 911R deck lid hinges and mesh screen, hood lights. all of the glass has been replaced with lexan except the front windscreen.

the motor (twin plug, MFI) was also rebuilt and taken from 2.7 to 2.8. the car already had a close ratio 915 with a quaife diff. the last piece of the puzzle is the twin muffler (which is now sitting at the shop) that needs to be bolted on and then its done. fin.

That looks sweet, and very light. Any idea what it weighs?

Any interior shots? Awesome job...

Ryan,

So did you get a chance to get the car on the track yet? Do you notice any difference in hadling ore feel VS the RS set up? I'm thinking the larger front wheels may dull the steering feel.

[obrut]

hi herman

just back from a 4 day closed road tarmac rally. the car did not miss a beat and we are very pleased given it is basically a brand new car.

steering feel is fantastic - not dulled at all. however, it is a bit difficult to directly compare as the car in ST configuration is now over 100kg lighter, has a wider track f+r, is running more toe on the front. also, we did not change the front tyre sizes - only the front wheel widths and track.

i'll write up the event soon.

Fmom one ST man to another I love your car it really looks good. Well done
