BenC Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Liking great! How wide is it in that form? I don't reckon that would actually fit in my single garage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevvy Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Wow looks mega! What engine will you use? Looks like its almost ready to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 The engine cost a bucket of gold. It's a 3.6 coupled to a close ratio 915 box. Pumps out North of 300bhp. Let me find you a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_W Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 A factory original G chassis no sunroof wide body being converted with no expenses spared to an IROC /RSRCool project.I can't see from those pix, but have you recreated the original 3.0RS arch profiles or are they 930?

MarkJ Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Looks cool already, cant wait to see it develop, more pics please guv'nor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 The car was a barn find. It came factory fitted with those arches and no spoiler. It had a 3.0 engine. YOM is 1974 Apparently it's an original off the shelf wide body non turbo made in small amounts Porsche certificate of authenticity accompanies it. I can't find a link but there is a site which states some G models were made in wide body just after the rs stopped being made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Bernau Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Looks great. Will be interested whether you keep the ducktail or go for something bigger - I felt the ducktail ended up looking too small once i went wide body. Have you painted the inner barrels of the wheels black? Having just re-anodised mine, I am thinking about what the right, or alternatively most practical, finish is.

Fred Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Are SPAX any good? I seem to remember that people where slaughtering them a while ago. Why is he not using a proper roll cage like Nick Moss has on his Orange car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Rock Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Are SPAX any good? I seem to remember that people where slaughtering them a while ago. Why is he not using a proper roll cage like Nick Moss has on his Orange car? And why Goodridge hoses..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bernau Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Steady on there fellas. Spax are OK, but I think I would prefer Koni or Bilstein. The cage looks like my OMP one without door bars (its OK, but nothing special) and why not use goodrich hoses if you are replacing 30 yr old rubber hoses.

MarkJ Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I agree, just wondered why Doc thinks they are a bad move considering they are a de-rigeur upgrade on any performance car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 sorry Shawna, it is the "no expenses spared" who has confused me. I guess the owner does the very best with what he can afford, which is already a million time better that what I can play with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bernau Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Fia OMP cage what's wrong with it? Its bolt in and bolt together No diagonal in the main hoop No harness bar Rear legs attached to the relatively weak firewall No door bars No knee bar No roof diagonal etc But, like I said, I have the same but with door bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicestershire Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 HEL quality is hit and miss at the moment. The fittings look like cheap imported items. Until HEL get the quality back I would fit Goodrich. Why stainless? Even braided hoses should be changed on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALEX P Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Cool car Shawna, nice little project. Gonna spill the beans on the powerplant? Why not use HEL which are all stainless steel... FWIW I'm pretty sure the new Goodridge hoses are all stainless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
