You asked for it. My 911.

Porscheguy79 · April 11th, 2005, 2:44 AM

Here are some quick shots that I took of my car while I was washing it. Hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you think.

Some odd facts...

The opening at the front is for my external racing oil cooler.

Porsche 911s of this era hand no springs, but instead used torsion bars which allow for me to change the ride hieght very quickley with a wrench.

A little air cooled goodness stuck up the back. images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

http://www.gruppeb.org/users/upload/images/Back1.jpg

A closer look at that magical goodness. (Dont mind that "rust" like goo on the back thats from the sound insulation I removed).

http://www.gruppeb.org/users/upload/images/Engine_1.jpg

A veiw of the gauges, I rotated the HUGE tach and speedo to read better on the track.

WHO TOOK MY OIL PAN! images/smilies/eek.gif

Gotta love dry sumps from the factory. BTW a 911 takes 12 quarts of oil per change.

I cant wait for the track season to start! images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Why did you rotate the speedo? I mean, you really care about how fast you go?

even the tach, I'm sure you don't look at it...

Porscheguy79 · April 11th, 2005, 3:01 AM

When you are coming down from 145mph into a tight tighting left turn (Turn 5 at Road America images/smilies/biggrin.gif

) its nice to know how hard you have to be on the brakes. Likewise with the tach its important to know your revs before you kick it down a gear and match revs.

That car is so sweet! images/smilies/smile.gif

If anyone can tell me what the hoses in the engine picture are you will win a prize, or maybe just props but still. images/smilies/lol.gif

Nice ride

Dark_Templer_102 · April 11th, 2005, 4:02 AM

uh..about 300 horses? (nice medicore guess) unless ur hideing a MASSIVE turbo somehow...then i'll go with 300

Porscheguy79 · April 11th, 2005, 4:11 AM

Haha, Dark I said HOSES not HORSES and for your information it has been tweeked to a little over 200hp but it weights only about 2500lbs stock minus a bunch of stuff I have taken out. The hoses I was refering to people assume to be to a turbo when really they are ducts for the heating system.

haha604 · April 11th, 2005, 5:57 AM

Your car looks mint. Should be a hell of a ride in the rain images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

.

leif · April 11th, 2005, 6:01 AM

the hoses run from the heat exchangers on the exaust manifold to the heaters in the car. mmm petrol smelling air...sweet

nice car by the way...im more a fan of the A and B series, but I have this disease where i often consider selling my tight honda daily driver for a 911...

edit...I swear i didnt read your last post before i posted this...sometimes i skim...sometimes i miss stuff

joemoefro · April 11th, 2005, 6:07 AM

Yum, Porsche that thing is nice. What I really like is the 95 series, theres nothing like the good old light cars.

Ultra_Kool_Dude · April 11th, 2005, 6:17 AM

I have to keep coming back to this thread to look at those pics again. images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

What's the maintenance like on that beauty?

Viper007Bond · April 11th, 2005, 6:39 AM

awesome car dude... I really loved that Generation of 911... I still don't understand the point in rotating the speedo... can anyone explain it?

logo · April 11th, 2005, 7:11 AM

^ maybe because its easier to see when the rpm's redline to shift? the needle would point upwards instead of to the right .. duno about the speedo though..

andyhui01 · April 11th, 2005, 7:31 AM

maybe thats what shift-sound/lights are for... I'm still drooling over the pictures images/smilies/biggrin.gif

... btw how many liters is 12quartz?

andyhui01 · April 11th, 2005, 7:41 AM

nvm... http://www.google.com.my/search?hl=e...o+liters&meta=

for those of you who want to know... 12 quarts is 11.3liters... which is ALOT for an oil-change.... normal V6 cars take a-tad more than 4l, 4-bangers use about 3...

Buba · April 11th, 2005, 9:38 AM

Really nice!

that's huge amount of oil.probably coz your car is air cooled so the excess heat is transferred through air and oil.
