Another Short Vid Of My 3.8 RSR Slide Valve
 

We have it running fat until we can get it on the dyno and tune it properly. This is on 91. More to come. I also included a picture of the dash view..

Sounds frigging AWESOME. Hey, where are you? Why is your speedo in kilometres?

I guess cause I'm a freak and wanted my daily driving view to make me think I was in the Fatherland driving the N'Ring....I guess I need a new 12 step program cause this one is clearly not working...lol I'm in Newport Beach, Cali.

Hell yea!! I love it..

Awesome sounds!!!

Sounds nice.

Driving impressions? Specifically the throttle response...must be amazing.

Sound now is pretty different from the first video...
But much better!

Should have it's first drive today once the setup is dialed in. We put new JRZ coilovers on, and it must be corner balanced, ride height set, etc. I will post up some more info tonight, it's coming together nicely. John

looking forward to the next video!

that exhaust system sounds PERFECT... Do you have any photos and specs on the exhaust?

How did the first drive go?

No red line?

Freakin awesome car man! Have fun smogging that thing.

What are the hp and tq numbers?

The exhaust starts with Scar-go 1.75" headers, then my builder Colin Cantrell fab'd up the 2.5" 304 stainless using cut down Burns muffs. I am thrilled with the result. Here's a picture since that's worth 1000 words or so....

And here she is on the corner scales getting dialed in for the road test. She's a lightweight at 2032 pounds! Couple more things to add, but not much...Hoosier R6's to help stick her to the road...

The exhaust sounds like it might go to eleven... :D

73 and under no smog....at least here in Cali. Won't have numbers until we get her on the dyno.

This has to be one of my new favorite pelicanite cars. It reminds me of the Singer 911.

We see a lot of nice cars here. This is one of the all time best. I am intensely envious. Under 2100 lbs with slide valve 3.8 in an early RSR body that's painted battleship grey (I mean, Stone Grey). This is the perfect car.

Here's another shot of the pipe work with the valence removed for the folks that have asked about the exhaust.

Awesome!
are there other photos and build details of this car? I'd love to read about it.

which hoosiers are they? Are they street tires? What size are they?

Doug

It's a work in progress, pictures and vids as we build. The tires are R6's, 295 is all that will fit on the rear 11's, 245's on the front 9's. JRZ coilovers, MoTec M600, 3.8 RS heads and cams, Rothsport slide induction and on and on...

That is one mean sounding and looking car, looking forward to hearing more updates.

Very cool.
I didn't realize that Cantrell worked on air-cooled 911s. I've heard a lot of people with 996s and 986s recommend him, though.

Cantrell rocks on anything with a motor and wheels. One of the best fabricators I have ever worked with, and there is a LOT of fab'n on this project. His attention to detail is amazing and that's exactly what is required for a project like this. The cup cars go there for a reason...

Love it.

Here's the next one Colin is going to do for me. We are going to put an M5 engine into this CS with all the giblits to go with...it will be my daily.

Here's the driveline donor patient...http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1297483522.jpg

Very cool. I had the same Style 5 rims on my M6....that is a really great motor by the way, ITBs, decent cam, miles of torque, straight six...3.6?....sad to see that M5 give up it's motor. CS is a great car too....mine was a DD but it was just too old and pretty to get beaten on every day. Now restored and in someone's museum. The coupes and 5s are the only real BMWs in my mind.

Very nice. What's the thought about exhaust heat? Some extended heavy-foot driving (like a track day session) seems llike it would get the exhaust plenty hot enough to warp your fiberglass rear bumper? I know my 3.2 would get the rear bumper plenty hot, too hot to touch, with a modified smaller muffler that was much further from the bumper than your setup.

Lots of NASA heat shield on the bumber and surrounding areas...actually installed today should (I hope) do the trick.

Yes, the M5 is a nice car - shame to chop it up really...but so many projects so little time...it's fate has been relegated to the CS. My plan is to take the entire driveline (motor, gearbox, diff) and have Colin fab it into place and build another Frankenstein. Big brakes, creature comforts inside, the works. I have always loved the CS's body lines. The icing on the cake is the CSL 3.5's were the racing nemisis to the RSR's....So they will share display and the track together once again. Life is good.

I saw that build on Colin's Facebook page. Definitely drool-worthy.

did you shave any weight from the flywheel or clutch assembly.
the slide valves are responsible for some of that nice throttle response, but not all of it.
forged rods, forged rockers, balanced internals, lite wrist pins?
thanks

Hey Zulura... love this project... Chris really dialed it in for you... I have some nice pics of the motor getting the slide valves put on...you do know yours are the first ones to be anodized in colors - I heard all after will be like yours the maker liked em so much
what a great car! Great vid !

signed....BIG FAN
