2.4 TV to 2.7 RS - "Leo Kinnunen tribute"

[Mikkoh]

Hi,

I am a big fan of Leo Kinnunen and already almost a year ago decided to build a replica of his RSL (ST) LINK HERE . AND HERE

The car being built is original 911 2.4 TV (vergaser). Its same year and same colour as the "role model" and it will be build to match the RSL spec with modifications that were made to Leos car. I will update this topic as the project goes forward and will be asking some support once in a while. Hardest part is to define what were done at the factory and what might have been later additions - but this keep the whole process interesting.

I will have few engine options for this car - matching 2.4 that will be modified to match the RS -spec and another already completely rebuilt S -spec MFI motor.

Body modifications:

-Full Bare metal restoration to make sure all rust is gone
-No underbody coating as in lightweight bodies should be,
-911 ST fenders
-Custom made glass fiber bumpers
-73RS center tunnel reinforcement addition
-Belt connection points to the parcel self
-ST roll bar supports
-Adding oil cooler lines and radiator

Interior:

-Lightweight carpets and rubber mats
-No sound insulation
-Period correct roll bar (no FIA requirements)
-250km/h or 300km/h speedo
-Lightweight door cards
-Original Recaro sport seats and also Recaro 1320 seats
-Clock removal
-No radio nor speaker
-Various steering wheel options

Suspension:
