Wow! I almost forgot how insanely fast this car is with the 3.6. The new 915 tranny makes some really nice whinning noises that are actually audible over the engine noise.

Looking good buddy! What kind of tires did you mount?

You Bastard! I'm jealous. Way to go!

Looks FAST!

Wicked from the back! Love the exhaust!

i look forward to seeing your car in person next month.

Well done!

A definite 914club calender model!

Joe, probably been asked before, but which manufacturer did your front bumper/valance?
Car is a work of art.

In all of your working on yhe RS you have neglected your grass, it has turned grey
Nice looking car

Great, when you get to this point, you either finish dressing it up, or start looking for ways to make it lighter..



Nice man... it's a hell of a ride, I'm sure.

Getty.

Looks awesome...fantastic work!!

It must be an absolute blast to drive.

Nothing like the first ride after all the work.

Explain the drive! What's a 3.6 914 like??

I'm still putting mine together and need inspiration.

It's 'somewhat' fast until you hit 4k rpm, then it's stupidly fast. Like most Porsche engines, the engine has to 'get up on the cam' before really impressive things begin to happen, but once that point is surpassed, it's a white-knuckle ride that leaves perma-grins plastered for quite a while.

I'm actually a little disappointed that the rear tires don't have more traction. They light up REALLY easily. Whatever. Next time: Race rubber.

Nice Joe!

You just need to get them warm. They stick better hot.

Wowie. It's hard to imagine it'll get to that point someday. How long ago was the dip?

why is it sitting so high in the rear? almost looks like there is no motor in it.

Nothing's been adjusted yet. This is the first time it's been on the ground with the coil-over rear suspension. Give me a week to get it out for alignment/ride height/corner balance.
