Very very tasty! Coil overs, dual fender coolers, 917 Zuff brakes, RSR front brace, integrated fire system. Very tasty indeed!

I can't find a single thing that I don't like (including the best licence plate I've seen). Did you build the car, or have a shop do the work? Curious to know the difference in handling and adjust-ability between the coil overs and the stock torsion bar suspension.

Perfect sports purpose build. I am so envious, and once again find myself regretting having ever sold my '72

Consider adding 911R rear qtr windows....or not. Also maybe n a few years change the black graphics to match the white stripes....or not. So much fun.

Thanks

Thanks for feedback on car. It's been a fun project. Klub Sport Racing did the majority of the work. I did whatever I could researched out all the parts and specs I wanted on the build. Klub sport did the heavy lifting.

The coil overs with helper springs in front make a huge difference in how the car rides and handles. IMO much better than the previous torsion bars. That helper spring really helps take out all the little harsh impacts that seem to unsettle the torsion bars, expansion joints and such. Car is set up for performance street and went with street friendly coil rates.

Car weighs around 2200lbs with 5 gallons of fuel

Here are some specs on the build.

Oh my giddy aunt.
That is quite an extraordinary build sheet. And I bet that's not half of it.
I hope you thrash it regularly...that suspension and engine demand it.
I bet it makes your palms sweat even when popping down to the garage.

P.S. Please post more pictures of the detail. This is the one place where it is okay to overshare.

Wonderful build, thanks for sharing! Usually I can look at a custom build and find things I would change if it were mine, but this is perfect! Enjoy!

Love it. Remind me of a narrow body version of the red magnus walker str with the white stripes. It was my favorite car he did. This s one appears no less impressive.

Fantastic build, so very envious.

Any chance we can get you to post a video at the track? I bet she sounds gorgeous, too.
