General Information

Vehicle Name	Blackbird.
Year	1986
Make	Porsche
Model	3.2 Carrera Sport - Heavens forbid - not a CTR.
Color	Sinister Black.
History	Car converted to RUF CTR dimensions in 'homage' of the CTR. Fantastic car in superb, outstanding condition. To much to list but just about everything changed and/or tastefully modified. Very quick Carrera and all built by the current owner. Thinking, now it's finished, I will be moving back to a turbo so may consider selling Blackbird,,,,,, May - but also got the 930 now.

Modifications

Exterior

All RUF fittings - front and rear RUF CTR bumper's, mirrors and RUF rear aches fitted 1 3/4" wider each side and footprint identical to CTR. Really, to much to put here. Much, much lighter than the standard. Just like a £10.00 Rolex to the un-initiated and the thousands of cars that have been built as the owners want..... not sticking to the 'traditions'. There is a shedload of those on earth, everyone the same as the next.

Interior

CTR touring pack fitted, Cobra Daytona leather seats, Luke harnesses, OMP system. Rear shelf system to enable touring as that is what she has been used for. The frontage of the shelf also accomodates the extinguisher, map pockets etc.

Performance Upgrades

Forced cold air induction system, cams, TT - CTR exhaust system (total stainless). Lowered properly and correctly set up for fast road/track with 'Billy' suspension.
Just under £10k of new parts and modifications in the last 14months. Sheer pleasure to drive and the sound is awsome - replicates CTR above 3800rpm. Now light and quick with an 'intoxicating' sound.
Front bumper intakes supplying brakes and oil cooler(s).
Turbo spoiler and lid modified to seperate engine intake path from the air hungry cooling fan.

Engine / Under the Hood

Very quick 3.2 Carrera engine with a 'few' tweaks, inc Mahl, long duration cams and 'oh' too many mods to list here.

Suspension

Bilsteins, superpro and properly setup. Fast road/track set-up with every bush replaced with SuperPro. Planted on the road.

Wheels and Tires

7.5 and 9x16 Avev 'A' with goodyears.
