Ultimate RUF Conversion Thread

[SPDADCT]

This is a great thread, the nb car with the CTR front and rear bumpers are growing on me.

[esonefour]

Finally have all my parts sorted, waiting on the container from Japan.

Will hopefully look like this in a few months.

[NoLift911]

Interesting - are those genuine RUF parts? Are you modifying your fenders front and rear?

[esonefour]

Front is genuine rear im sure is a copy, wheels are the heavy first generation speedlines, but for the price I'm happy.
Mirrors are from a Australian company and a little bit bigger than ruf ones.

[esonefour]

Still some things at the paint shop but I couldn't help myself
So good to drive it after 6 months.



Still need to dial in the height but pretty happy with it all.

What a tease. Tell us about the exhaust

[daleflesburg]

Well, a while back I posted a picture of my car with a Nardi wheel, and most of you agreed that you did not like the "fit" of a wood rimmed wheel in my car. So, I got a Momo as a gift from my wife, and here it is: A lot better. Agreed?
You can also get another look at my "clean" dashboard.

Finished it today body wise. Few more things to do sabelt belts and wevo shifter etc, but pretty happy with my ctr1 tribute.
The exhaust is M&K "shortie" will be getting another system made up for street and family drives.

Looking good, looking good. I'm guessing those are re-badged Speedline wheels. Excellent wheels

[sc_rufctr]

Pics of a real one for reference. I do love this colour





Interesting interior. .... Note the instruments. That Tach IS THE BUSINESS!





And a Gearbox! The ultimate 930 upgrade

[esonefour]

I tried to make it as close to the original ctr1 "yellow bird" as possible apart from exterior colour and air vents.
Just happy it's all going and on the road, time to do some miles!!

You do have a cool car and and I love that colour.

I've always liked green. Weird I know but there you have it.

My CTR front bumper installed. Rear bumper still has to be modified as I will be changing my exhaust to Zork tube as part of a turbo conversion.

What type of pedal kit are you using, and is it easier to heal and toe than the factory pedal setup? Thanks.

[esonefour]

It's a D-Zug pedal available from pelican, it has adjustable height for heal and toe and just an all round awesome pedal.

[SPDADCT]

Any New Pictures?

[Neel]

Did you have any fitment problems with the rear bumper?? If so could you share the issues?? I'm thinking about installing a Yellow Bird style rear bumper on my '81 SC.. Looking at TRE.. I want to do the job myself, but I don't want any 'surprises'...

[daleflesburg]

At least on my car with SC rear flairs, I had to do a lot of fitting. The shell was about an inch too wide on each side at the wheel opening. I could pull it in and bolt it, but it created other problems. It took a lot of fiberglass work (I am glad that I did a lot of it for my 914 dedicated DE car). But the end result is good!
