While the Australian arm of the 911 operation is active, here is a shot of my wee beastie, which I am happy to report is on its way to Albany for the VSCC Round the Houses/Hillclimb over the long weekend.

I took it off for the photos... I'd like to take it off completely but I don't want to leave the holes there.

Easily corrected...

Here's the other end. Mechanically the car is currently a 2.4S MFI (with barrels and pistons waiting for the 2.7 conversion), 915 CR box, LSD, bigger bars, bilsteins, 15 or 16" wheels, bigger brakes, basically all the usual early 911 mods. I didn't build it up, just tweaked it to get it right. The interior runs period Scheel seats, Schroth harnesses, Momo period wheel, Matter half cage, and remains fully trimmed ala RS Touring with the correct headlining and door trims. It has an interesting Australian history, having been delivered new in Sydney and the second owner was the proprietor of a large Porsche parts business in Australia, who tweaked the car using bits he had available. It then went through two owners who RS'd it with the proper exterior parts. Even though it was always an Australian car, it still suffered the usual tin worm which we have now eradicated. This led to a new front floor pan and tank, and the requisite heavyweight cheque.

That's Stan's old car right? Good to see it around. Stan was running a 3.2 and then a 3.6 in it when I first got involved with Porsches and motorsport.

It looks great (my car used to look that nice before 8 tarmac rallies and a million track miles...).

That's the car. At last count, it has had a 2.0 litre, 2.2 litre, 3.2 litre, 3.6 litre, and the current 2.4S, all noted in the CAMS Log Book. I caught up with Stan at the Wanneroo V8 Round, and he still reckons that the 3.6 is the way to go. As you might have seen, the new Tarmac rules probably rule that out, so 2.7 seems the solution, and as it is so RS'ish that would be the appropriate thing. A 3.6 would certainly liven things up though!
On another note, I called Simon W to congratulate him on the Targa effort. Well done! Are you Targa West'ing this year? If so let me know, and we might set up a Team 901?

Re: Your car - yep, i think 2.7 or 2.8 is likely to be a big as you can go for an pre 74 911 now. Also, make sure you have a mag case (eg. 7R). A lot of 2.4 and 2.7's were built back in the day on AL cases (stronger). They don't meet the rules. (Also - with a 2.7 you can enter the car as an RS lightweight and run it at 960kg - that's what I'll probably do)

Re: Targa West - dunno. First up, I think they've priced it badly for a 3 day event. Plus you have all the "first time" event teething issues to worry about(I did the 2nd running of East Coast Classic and it was pretty bad - about 25% of all comp stages cancelled). I'd like to come home and do it but its hard to justify it over Classic Adelaide... (like $'s, 1 day longer, fantastic organising etc)
