yes please! In particular the engine specifications.

looks fantastic. Congratulations on getting it on the road


Somehow I think backdating was around long before singer. One look at all the backdate threads on rennlist tells us the look is far from dead

Thanks for your kind words JV911. The engine spec is somewhere between a 964RS 3.6 and 3.8. We have kept the 3.6 but changed the camshaft. Once fully optimized, we should reach 300hp… this is what our last bench test showed. I need to check the curves to confirm the torque. The car weights less than 1200kg and this contributes to a fun driving experience. The sweet spot is between 4000 rpm and 7500 rpm… goes so fast than you have to shift quickly… this was my biggest surprise first time I tested it on roads 2 weeks ago. We will try to do some GO PRO shooting to share in the coming weeks (I hope that we can do it before the snow season!). Thanks for your question… nice for us to share the experience and our initial results.

Nice project. My wife is from Chambery. Her family still lives there. Her father went to the Porsche Savoie Cup in Aix-les-Bains during the summer and kindly picked up a souvenir t-shirt for me. Truly a beautiful part of the world

Nautilus

Great project and the car looks stunning.
What did you do to bring it down to that weight? Carbon body panels etc.?

P.S. Great nick by the way: El desdichado

As far as 964 backdate goes, this one is very pretty. Loving the color.

LPMM

Outstanding, can you share more details on the rear spoiler grille.

How can a classic style be dead? Helpful comment!

GazC2

ernest obviously having a bad day ! brave colour choice to be that bit different car looks fab. The one thing I would like to see on these 964 backdates are smaller rims 16" maybe not sure the bigger wheels .

still love it nice job

Originality is important and the only backdates that really work are the very best but sheer class never goes out of fashion. Great job guys!

Cheers,
Paul

I always admire those who dare to be different as it would have been easy to stick to one of the "popular" classic colours - bravo.

Hello everyone, Many thanks for the comments. Indeed, the color was one of the most difficult decisions we had to take as a team.

Nautilus - Regarding the weight, We removed the air con, simplified exhaust a lot (the original system on the 964 is heavy) and changed the 4 wings with lighter material to get to the ST look… we did not think we had removed so much weight but the car went on the scale 1 month ago!

LPMM - The "becquet" was built from scratch… that part did not exist in the market. Zoom is available on this picture:

GazC2 - Fully agree with your comment on the 16"… in hindsight… it was also a good option… Our 17" were made for this car based on our specs… we could really have gone with 16"

Mondrian, I like your comment… it was not easy to make some decisions and go with a different approach but we finally did and it feels good about it now!

Julie should explain the cam choice herself, no?
Love the dash and looking forward to the GoPro!

Do you have any pics of that air intake you were considering?

Eldesdichado

Good point HiWind… I will ask Julie to comment!

This car begs for more original type Fuchs. These wheels are horrible!
