Thank you. Unfortunately no other track footage since I've only been testing. I should have more soon though.

LOL is that a wooden front splitter?

Yes it is. You do realize that most splitters on track cars are made of wood? The pretty CF ones that don't mount to the body are mainly for show. Despite this I'm still toying with the idea of making my own CF splitter. Composites are interesting. I just don't know if I have the time.



So the coilover installation went pretty smooth and I am very happy with the results. The car is much more nimble and with the custom digressive valving the ride quality is surprisingly good.

Here is how it sits with the coils.

I was having some issues with getting camber in the front, so I decided to pull the lower control arms and have them extended. It adds camber, decreases my scrub radius, and helps fix some of the geometry messed up when lowering the car.



Here are the arms after the work was done.

Love this ongoing project! The fact that you make something that works, rather all bling and shiny stuff makes me happy

Keep it up! And more pics..

Hnnnggg this car.

I'm really digging the wooden beams/ceiling and brick design of the shop. I guess being a structural engineer's son does that to ya.

What's next with the car? Just track it how it is or further modifications?

There are spoilers on the top of spoilers, no rear bar, coils and just a generally cool vehicle.

This is freaking awesome, I love it!

A couple years ago I got some seat time in a '76 911. It was brought to the US from Germany and had the turbo widebody added on to it here in the US. The body was rough, the interior was shot, but mechanically it was sound. I'll never forget driving that thing, it was way too much fun. Ever since then I've always wanted an older 911, this thread really makes me want a 911 now. Absolutely love it.

An incredible piece of machinery, still looking as fresh faced and beautiful as it did in '76.

This is art! Nice to see it being put to use on the track!
