Great stuff!

thanks.

Awesome. I hope your garage door is wide enough.

you couldn't buy flares?

My flares are fab'd to fit my car and only my car; I will never stop at a light and see a Porsche like mine.
Some may like it, many will hate it, but in the end I have made most of the modifications to my car myself with my tools.

I do not like to purchase something that I can build, I want to attempt the challenge.

Further, I want my creative design on the car not some stamped out reproduction of what someone else thinks is cool.
Beyond that the whole back is going to be one piece for easy of service and weight.

Soooo, I'm guessing you're either an engineer or a masochist. :p

Either way, interresting project.

I just enjoy building things. I father was a toy designer some of that rubbed off on me.
If I build it, I can fix it.

yeah, stock is not my thing.
below is the 1st mock up of a possible wing. It is actually smaller in all dimensions than the stock 930 wing I took off. I have not started the mounting base yet.

a few start to finish pictures:

Same as the rest
 

Nice job Reb, I've have been subscribed for a while, still working on mine. I couldn't have said it better. "If I can build it, I can fix it" you have captured it in one sentence. You car is looks awesome keep going. One of a kind is, well, one of a kind.
Jeff:cool:

I think the tail will add a lot of good to the asthetics, along with the flares. Something was missing with the chopped top and I think these are it. This is actually kinda turning into a real "rat-rod" of porsches. I'm not sure if that is what you are going for but that's what I'm getting. Getting better. Nice!

made the glass fenders. pulled off the molds. starting to do some necessary cutting and lowering. oversize torsion bar.
rockers not on and front lower will be changed.

I know... it's in it's awkward stage right now. give me a few months.

Dakota Digital has the tach module so u can use your Porsche tach. About $80 or less.

Thanks for the help.

Working the rockers today.

I think the exhaust sound turned out quite nice and "European" vs older muscle car with cackling. Love the sound of a big Hemi in a Dart, but a Porsche should sound different.

Are we doing anything with the "flags"?

Thanks, I built the exhaust myself.
I am working on a play money budget that needs to fly below the wife's radar. The mirrors are on the list for later this spring.
I am looking for a source if anyone knows of one.

Hello Rebel

I have looked a little on your car weight and if i understand your car is 2403 pounds without driver? this is because i have just weighed my 911 ls1v8 and it was 1140 kg - 2280 pounds do you have A/C or power steering? I even have a full rollcage. I think your car is cool and it reminds me of Rauhwelt from Japan and they are "über cool"--- I calculated wrong so my weight is about 2500 pounds

hmmmm, i'll have to have it re-weighed this spring when I am done. I have a full cage as well with stock seats. I do not have A/C or power steering.
I have a full size fuel cell 15+ gallons of gas and a large radiator.
My cage may be the difference, it braces out to the suspension points. I also had all the shock mounts braced for coilovers.
Also mine may be a R.O.W. but it does have the heavy US spec bumpers.

thanks for the positive input.

going wide for the spring.

Finished the rear lower quarter panals.

Awesome read.....and an even cooler project!!!! Love it!

Thanks, I put 10 miles on it last night without any problems.
It's so low I had to make a skid plate covering the trans-axle and the oil pan.
with the 295's on the back I can definitely feel more of the hp pushing forward and less turning into smoke.

couple of pictures from a cruise night. I got there early so I didn't have to drive in rush hour.

Looks really over the top - awesome. Take some video for us. Maybe time to do an AutoCross! :D

I think you should lose the wing - get a regular lid and give it a try.

G

this wing is functional for cooling.

Pictures to get an idea of size:

I think it needs a slant-nose conversion, would look just right...

it was the Niagara Region Porsche Club of America's 50th this weekend. Had a party at a winery and some laps at the Glen.

Hi,
Great work, you looked comfortable on the track, are you happy with the handling of the car, or you are going to make changes? tell us about your car's handling characteristics. How is the running temperature?
Many Thanks.

The car handles as I expected. tight and planted. I am going to brace up the front more and throw coilovers in. The 285's upfront with 295 rears seems to be just the right amount of pounds per square inch to hold on the track. Any wider and I believe they would displace too much weight to effectively uses the contact area to translate to traction. Similar to a snowshoe. But that's just my beliefs based off my experience.

If you have any input please feel free to share.

Any of you thinking about an LS conversion, I've got a parts deal. I've got a 5-speed 965 G50/52 and LSD with new Kennedy LS to G50/52 conversion plate, new Sachs clutch kit and new Kennedy LS to G50/52 conversion flywheel for sale. The Turbo transmission is supposed good for up to 700HP. I'm asking $8,000 for the package.

FS: 965 Turbo 5 speed:G50/52 w/ LSD, LS conversion plate, flywheel, SACHS clutch kit

I could split up the kit, but the adaptors should go together, I'd think. Of course, I'm expecting to discount over retail prices.

thought I would share a video from a Poker run through the Finger Lakes wineries with Vipers, Corvettes, Cobras, Lotus, etc... Cop spotted at minute ~2:05 and a few pulled over at ~3 min. good times. We ended up a a hotel that blocks out the front row for us and sets up a party in the lot so we can drink the wine we picked up that day.
And a local photographer took a few pictures and now wants to set up a shoot. links below:

can you show your (front) trunk lid? What's going on there?

sure

I ducked the front for added cooling and down force. It defuses over the sides vs increasing the low pressure on the rear.

Very cool

I have never seen a 911 make a Viper seem small and wimpy :)

You still haven't...;)
Man, you've done a great job on that ride....I think it'd look great with a carbon fiber wrap in black or dark blue.

Thanks, I am still fine tuning the aerodynamics and heat defusing.

There were 3 Vipers there. two out of three I know I could take (2002 GTS and 1996 GTS) the third I did not have the opportunity to run (2006). He had a wedding to get to.

wow your car is awsome. it is truly one of a kind.
gr8 design. gr8 feb work.
