what is the difference between the 911 turbo vs rsr body
 
Who knows? I'm asking about the '73 RSR vs the turbo kits. Are they both 11" rear, 9" front flares? Is it bumpers/extensions that are different on the later "turbo" cars?

Difference is mainly the impact bumpers, RSR was a track car. With the turbo look, you have the "accordian" parts.

If you have the turbo flares, the iroc rsr is simply front and rear bumper. But then you'd have holes in the rockers for the covers that the rsr does not have.

I thought Turbo flares had flat vertical sections on the wheel arches, and the RSR has rounded?

Well, that and the shape of the flares is different. (typed while Craig was typing his reply....)

Yep. Side profile of the openings is different, as well.

This thread has some great pictures of the real deal if you like a 73 RSR

Are we trying to make a concourse rsr? I'm just saying you can make you're 930 look like one pretty easy. Plus my flares I got from restoration design which they themselves bought from Europe are more rounded than hard edged, which I was happy about. The difference is not huge.
Most people use the turbo flare to get the look. When I was looking I didn't see and rsr flares available much less in the metal flare.

quattrorunner 09-17-2014 04:01 PM

Right, sorry I was thinking of the 74 rsr. Those are more like the turbo flare but still not exact. There are difrences between each car.

javadog 09-17-2014 05:07 PM

The '74 RSR flares are nothing like the turbo flares...

True, but only 5% of the population will notice that.

Umm ok dude. I think I mentioned that too. And not nothing. They are similar. Not exact.

wayner 09-17-2014 05:30 PM

These are 9 & 11 turbo flares
Woe is me, my flares are wrong :(

You guys might be confusing the '74 RS and '74 RSR.

'74 RS 3.0 flares are very similar to the 930 but not the '74 RSR's that were much wider.

You know, that was the point I was making...

That IS pretty sweet.

Thank you. :)

MongooseGA 09-17-2014 07:28 PM

I'd been wondering this myself but never bothered to ask. I'd like to eventually swap my (non-original) SC flares for a wider set.

Good info.
