Wow car is ideal!! Not a huge fan of the wheels but I know they are pretty popular and still look great. Love how mean it sounds!! Is there any type of wide body mods done to it?
The sheet metal is 100% original. The car is real '75 Carrera. I'm going to put on 18" wheels eventually just to get decent street rubber, but these are REAL magnesium center BBS race wheels customs made for this car. Fronts are 8x16 and the rears are 9x16! Super light and now rare!
They won't survive very much street use, but I had them already! Anybody want a set of 16" speedlines?
Do you think I can earn an invite to R Gruppe? 1975 Carrera (and yes, the orginal whale tail was restored also) may be too new!
The new Texas tags will say, "EXRACR", as this was my PCA club race car for over 10 years.
I've had it since 1981!
Oops, missed this until I scanned back through the whole thread.
Uh, R Gruppe.......... I'm definitely on the outside, not caring to look in anymore. (Too much to type here from the pre-Cris-meets-Freeman to birth the actual R Gruppe days. Suffice it to say I was one of the original 10 or so, though I'd moved to AZ and was of little use when the idea was first hatched locally in the late '80s after a few years gestation.)
I could put you in contact with Cris, or maybe there are other web resources to allow you to hunt down the what's what. But your car is certainly worthy in my book given any/all of: rare model, long ownership, full use, and fantastic restoration.

Awesome man!! Your car should basically be the goal in a 911 build! Great job.

I'm in Tex-*** so I'm probably too far away from those guys. I probably too OCD for them too!
love the choice of suspension and much of everything else
is that a gt3 mk2 muffler ?? and what brakes are those? 993? how were you able to fit them under 16" wheels?
Turbo big reds. How to fit inside 16" wheels, hmmm. Ancient Chinese secret. And a set of custom for the car 3 piece BBS wheels. Built by former BBS pres John Slagle in their Road Atlanta office/warehouse. I like them but VERY delicate for street.
The front reservoirs, not a trick. I already had reservoirs size holes in the fenders from when it was a track car, if you look close you can see the carbon covers, The rears snake up through the engine compartment rear seal.
It took a bunch of internet time to find the reservoirs holders. I found them at a CA off-road/4X4 company, they worked perfect! But don't remember their name
You can see the carbon cover just at the top right of the caliper.
Look close at the left side, you can just barely see the cover.
