Beautiful. I wish there was a way to install the G96 in an air-cooled car without having to cut the tube. Would make the shifting experience so much better on my 1981.

I bought some builder Recaro sport seats from a 1978 930. They are manual sport seats, very rare. Going to recover them in black leather with very Loud/Fun inserts. Pics to come soon. It’s only money lol.

What aero modifications are you making?

Hello, Thank you for the reply. On the speed run I will have front spoiler and 4 cf dive canards. On the rear a small extra 3” cf nascar style extension at the end of the carrera tail. Under the car, smooth cf panels under the engine and trans like a 964. At the roof line above rear window some small cf air foils to clean up the air a bit. And then we will try it out the “Old way” just by driving it and see if it gets squirrelly or not at speed. So far that’s the plans… likely will be more as we go….

Also the Renegade radiator setup is going in laying forward at the top instead of backwards, so it will vent the hot air out and up and over the cf hood. This will cool and help with downforce.

I was thinking about doing the same thing. Can you detail your venting and show what vent scoops you will use on the roof? I have only seen some 930's with a huge opening on the top and not sure I like that. Some of the GT3 vents look great but I have not seen any G body car with those added.

Maybe try the string trick to see what the air is doing

Car is not ready for this year yet Yan, but should be in 2026. Health problems slowed me down a bit. But still clicking along, just slower. When I get it all together I will definitely share pics.

Hope the health stays positive. Can’t wait to see the progress.
