Those are impressive HP numbers any info on torque? So you should be where I am with the 993 longitudinal using 100mm spacers which is a tight fit but should work.

Thanks Mr Wolfe. I’m loving your car too. I may have missed it but have you got some pics of the new wheels?

Thanks Cobalt. The engine package is pretty much exactly like the gunther werks car as I bought all the same parts from Jeff at Rothsport. So was confident the thing could crack 400hp.

The cam is actually pretty mild and gives a really nice flat torque curve. I could have made some more top end hp according to Jeff, but was keen for the low down torque for drive out of the corners.

Torque peaked at 327ft lbs at 5,250rpm. But low down is good and it makes 250ft lbs at 2,600rpm and 300ft lbs at 4,250rpm. Should light up the tyres nicely

Here are a few I posted in my journal a while back.











Let me know if you want me to take these down. This is YOUR build journal so I totally understand.

Looks amazing. And we basically have the same wheels

Thanks. I kept the steel doors as only wanted a half cage. Need a full cage with side bars if going carbon doors.

Reap Automotive in the UK did the tacho.

Almost the finished product! Still need to lower it a bit and space out the wheels slightly to get the stance bang on, but very close now

Such an inspirational thread. Enjoy in good health!

I might've missed the update on the electric A/C as I was drooling over the recent pics, but any feedback on operation yet? Did you install the second condenser option?

I bought the classic retrofit 964 kit which came with 2 condensers. However, they were pretty tricky to fit. And as my car was already an aircon car, i ditched them and went with the original condenser set up (but bought a replacement 964 condenser) and used my original fan.

Hence, if you have an aircon car, id save some money and just buy this kit https://www.classicretrofit.com/coll...essor-ecu-only,

Then replace the condenser and evaporator (just so you have new parts and avoid leaks etc) for the cheaper hella products on design 911.

But i have some electrical issues and aircon is not working yet. Apologies, but will report back as soon as its sorted.
