Brandi was not able to attend Rennsport, so I took it on its shake down to Monterey.

The motor had a rod knock Thursday a week before the event, and got a complete rebuild by Tuesday. On the bright side, it received a significant performance upgrade. The motor was converted from a mild hot rod 2.2 to a stroked 2.4, using a 2.7 crank and rods and 2.2E Ps&Cs and E cams. Heads were ported and polished. Result is a 10.0 compression ratio. I had heard about this combination before( Wayne's Top Engine Pics", all I can say is that it was a hoot to drive. Lots of torque through out the power band, no lack of power at low revs like a S, but still screams at the top. The transmission was also rebuilt with short A-F-M-S-X gears which really helps. As a side note, they only had three working days to completely rebuild this motor, including all the required machine work, Hats off to TRE for getting this done. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1318984240.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1318984266.jpg |
Glad I could come along with you for RRIV. We live the dream bro. Now let's do it again!...but don't park too close to me, no one notices my car:)
|
it was a hoot driving back with you, especially the little excursion past Paso Robles.....
Brandi has one sweet car, the details are all spot-on, it;s better than a candy store, the more you look, the more you want to touch every single detail.... nice job guys, and hats-off to TRE for another great build. L |
Wonderful build! All the many great details come together so well. Fantastic.
That Talbot position is spot on for visual appearance, how's the visibility from the inside? |

Any details? Is the black area upholstered with vinyl, other, or painted? What about the red area? |
Looks like a GT2RS... only it looks good here. ;)
|
Simply Gorgeous!
Amazing how fast this (seemed to) come together!

Good to see you at RRIV.
The looks great in person. Congrats Brandi and Dave for the tasteful build. It is difficult to pin down my favorite part, but the hood hold downs may be the one thing... H |
you have great taste,...

The red area is alcantera sp?, that is sewn to the black vinyl, it has a thin backing and is glued to the roof. The original 911Rs had black painted metal, and a piece of red Perlon glued to the roof. We searched for months to find the correct red Perlon, but no luck. The Alcantera is the right color, and looks correct, but feels like suede. It turned out much better than I thought it would, and I like it. This is a picture of a real R for reference. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1319051537.jpg |
Perfect, thanks!
Looks fantastic! |
Amazing build - don't know how I missed it.
|
I wanted to point out the roof light for those who missed it. Can you tell us more about it?
