What Did You Do to Your 911 Today?

Wow, cool! But how does Ricciardo feel about it? That's a long way to drive for a car show!

Ha ha, yeah, the wife and kids went up there for the school holidays, I thought I would take advantage of the timing and drive the 911 up for the show.

Cheers,

Harry.

I'm fairly sure he's partial to the old cars Porsches

I'm led to believe he recently acquired an impact bumper Carrera 2.7 earlier this year, to join the 997 gt2.

a lucky man, and a wonderful driver, and a great Aussie ambassador. I could watch his pass on Alonso through eau rouge a few years ago all day.

Yeah, he's a nice bloke, he was really enthusiastic about my car which was great. We discussed his '74 which he told me was "a normal '74 2.7, not a Carrera".

Cheers,

Harry.

Today I killed 3 birds with 1 stone.

3 birds:

(1) wanted to determine build date of my car
(2) needed to track down source of battery discharging prematurely
(3) needed to fix broken clock

1 stone:

Removed clock from dash. Disassembled and found points were not stuck and internal "fuse" was intact. So I merely cleaned the clock with compressed air, gave it a shot of WD40 and put it back together and bench tested it by hooking up to battery. Now it works like a clock (pun intended). Clock had stopped with points in closed position meaning this is the likely cause of my battery drain. Clock revealed a date code of 10/69 meaning my car was probably built in either 10/69 or 11/69

Cost of killing 3 birds with 1 stone: $0.00 (excluding the WD40)

Pulled the Monza muffler off the '69T I'm restoring, added back the missing muffler bracket, and cleaned all of the nuts and bolts in preparation for installing a new muffler tomorrow and then reinstalling the rear panel.

It's posts like that last two that remind me why I love the old cars. Sometimes they can be frustrating, but unlike new cars, they are usually easy to work on, and you can actually fix stuff.

Dragged one out and headed North for a foliage run

I went to my mechanic to see and hear (gasp!) Trudi's new engine. This RSR is fully race version with RSR cameshaft, RSR slide injection, RSR oil filter, fuel pump, RSR oil tank with pressure valve, etc, etc. Look forward to drive her again, after 4 months of break... But she has to go on the dyno first to check and fix the ignition and injection.
Will let you know the results. Expecting 370 HP...

what are the other specifications on the engine?
