New to the Registry

[kent olsen]

I thought for a long time this was just for "S" guys and stock 911's. Maybe I was wrong. I'm a member of RGRUPPE and maybe not even a purist in their group. I have a 72T coupe or maybe now I should say a 72 SCT.

I just finished building a 3.0L engine with special Cams from John Dougherty, European headers and 40mm Webers and 9.5:1 pistons from J&E. With the help of J&B racing in Florida my engine made 233hp and 218 ft/lbs of torque on their engine dyno with single plugs. We ran their twin plug dist and it made 245HP. I'll be installing the twin plug dist later this month.

My car has had a 10 year weight reduction program and now weights 2210lbs with, after the corner balance, 49% front/51% rear weight biasis.

I like the idea of a sleeper rather than something with big flares that draw attention to me so you can see my car is rather subtle. I do like the classic 60-70's look hence the Superlite rims.

Kent, Welcome aboard... Very nice car and Lab

Welcome! Great looking car and nice numbers on the engine.
I've got the sleeper look right now minus the power

[MarkS]

Welcome Kent, nice car. myself and sure a lot of others would be very interested how you achieved 49/51.

Welcome to the Registry, Kent.

Lovely car, and I mean that sincerely. Seems well thought out and soundly built, but please bear with me for just one moment Kent, while I try to digest your logic. A clean, purple Longhood 911, one Hell of an aggressive stance, Superlites, fat tires, a ducktail, aero mirror, hood hold-downs, and what is sure to be a stirring exhaust note according to your description of the mechanicals.......( and all that just from one side-view shot) and you consider that to be a subtle sleeper that won't draw attention to you, but feel that adding flares would make it less anonymous and would turn it into more of an attention getter ???

Hmmmmm...OK !

[Macroni]

Welcome.....Great power!

Hi Kent,

Hmmm, that car looks vaguely familiar'

Nice job! I do like the Purple.

Well maybe you are right it does have a little more than a stock 72T. I guess if it just makes you wonder I've accomplished something.

Fiberglass hood/Ducktail, no spare, single battery, aluminum trailing arms, M&K muffler, that's a few.

I used to live in Albany and belonged to the PDX club, DE'd at Portland several times.
