You are correct, 1974 (my pic was tagged 1976) it had a 2.1 l turbo engine, I have seen it referred to as "baby" as well, apparently incorrectly. Thanks for the clarification....first turbo race car is pretty cool!!

The most surprising thing about the car to me is that the front bumper seems so “modern” I wonder why they didn’t continue with it….may because they went to the sloped fenders after this year.

I made a typo. What I meant to say was first turbocharged 911 racecar. They used the technology they had been using on the 917.10 and 917.30 two years earlier in 1972-1973.

Just curious: wasn't it the BMW 2002 tii it competed against?

Jesper

No, the 320i Turbo. The 2002 tii was earlier and its immediate predecessor. The 2002 Turbo actually pre-dated the 930 by a year or two.

just curious... why the a-arm modification (rod end instead of stock balljoint) ?

I was told it allows additional negitive camber....it may simplify other aspects of setting up/adjusting the suspension as well. It is part of this shops suspension "formula" for race cars.

Hey I recognize that steering wheel!

Great to see the project progressing Kevin,

I still think that gearshift assembly is the dogs bollocks!

Where did you source this bumper??

Thanks,
Scott

Kevin:

Great project. Also a neighbor -- located in Verona. Looking forward to seeing this car in person soon.

Keep up the great progress.

Rob

+1 Where can I get one of these?

hey redcoat....the wheel is perfect, thanks.

mercman, moved from verona 2 years ago, grew up in CG....see you soon...

Was wondering how long it would take for questions about the bumper...it was developed by Peter Dawe for this car:

He has made a few for clients and i told him if he wants to sell them to let me know....he is a very busy man, preping many race cars.....and you need to get in line behind me;) I will ask him if he would be interested in producing a few....it fits 11" rsr front fenders so it will not be for everyone, but it is a cool bumper for sure.

here are a few more pictures of my car:

Interesting mod to the A-Arm - will that be protected by some sort of cover to stop crap getting in?
