72 RSR is Finished
Well The 72 RSR is done. I got to take it home last weekend. I put a couple of hundred miles on it.
It’s a real BLAST to drive!
Hey Jack! I see Y U are such a happy guy.
It was built to be an all around fun car that could be street driven yet still be used to autoX or take to the track for some real fun. And it is!
Check out the antique tag. It was fate that I got it!
It was great fun building it and the guys at the shop really liked building it too.
There are the specs.
Chassis: 1972 911T non sunroof coupe. The tub and doors are steel. The front and rear finders, hoods, front and rear bumpers and valances are fiberglass. The car was disassembled for paint and is fully painted with Grand Prix White poly urethane paint on the upper surfaces. The underside and inside finder wells are painted black. It has a GT style cage that is a fully welded. The cage is connected to the front and rear suspension point’s. It is made with 1.5” X .095 wall DOM mild steel tubing through out. It is built to pass SCCA, PCA, HSR or any others clubs rules. In the rear the shock towers are strengthened and tubed to the cage. The interior is totally striped out with no heat, AC or radio. It has a MOMO steering wheel and Corbeau Forza seats with 5 point belts. The rear seat wells have been removed and lite weight sheet metal installed.
The doors are gutted with only the window frames remaining. The windows are Lexan with custom strap type setup for raising and lowering the window. It has custom made bead rolled lite weight aluminum door panels. The beading on door the panels match the door bars. Custom door handles are made from the original ones. Here’s a large front oil cooled system with stainless steel braded oil lines. The oil cooler is integrated into the tub. It’s boxed in and air exits out the bottom. NEW body seals and gaskets. The front wind shield is glass and the rear is lite weight EURO glass. The headlights are H4’s and the running, brake and signal lights are fully functional.
It has a NEW 15 Gallon competition fuel cell with stainless lines. This is a full race chassis set up.
Engine & Transmission: 3.6L from a 92 964 with 64K miles and is in great condition. It has been chipped and has a K&N type intake with a set of headers and SuperTraps. It was leak down tested prior to installation and was 3% across the board. It runs and sounds great!
The Transmission is a refurbished 915 from a 911 SC. It has a 8-31 ring and pinion gear with a 930 ZF limited slip. It has a NEW Timmins fly wheel with NEW light weight aluminum pressure plate, disk, TO bearing and ring gear. Solid rear motor mounts. On a Dynojet chassis dyno it has 260 rwhp and 235 foot pounds of torque. That’s about what HP that the original 2.8L RSR put to the rear wheels, But the TQ is 35 lbs. higher. The best thing is about using a 3.6 that is near stock. It won't need a lot of maintenance.
Suspension: NEW Torsion bar type Sway-A-Away solid 30mm in rear and 22mm hollow in front with an aluminum Carrera cross member and Weltmeister hard bushings. The fronts are Koni struts with NEW Koni adjustable sport shocks inserts and NEW ball joints. NEW Turbo tie rods and bump steer spacers. The rears are NEW Bilstein sport shocks. The sway bars are Weltmeister 22mm Front and 23 Rear. It has updated rear Carrera aluminum trailing arms with new bearings and updated adjustable spring plates with Weltmeister hard bushings. The wheels are NEW P2 Fuchs from Lindsey Racing. There 9.5” front and 11” rears X 17” with NEW ADVAN Yokohama's A032R DOT-legal competition tires. The fronts are 255-40’s and the rears are 315-35’s
Brakes: NEW front and rear big brake calipers set up with stainless braded brake hoses. Turbo size 4 piston calipers up front. The rears are 2 piston Carrera front size caliper.
It has NEW Front and rear cross drilled Carrera rotors. NEW 23mm master cylinder.
It is a great track set up. They work great on the street too.

Wow, Don,
Stunning, absolutely stunning!!! (and that's beyond even what I felt that last time you posted your progress). How much does she weigh in, and what kind of RWHP are you getting? Oh, and forgive the ignoramous question, but when folks do the 3.6 transplant, what is the deciding factor between 964 and 993 (excluding the 993 varioram)?

WoW! Guys! Thanks! 
We really had a great time building it. But it's even more fun driving it. It's better than SEX! I took it out and ran state 129 The Dragon its a famous section of road in the East Tennessee mountains. It has like a 110 turns in 10 miles lets say a Hill Clime.
When I got back my wife said I had a big sh*t eaten grin on my face!

It weights 2200 wet. The 964 engine is a very good on. There were a lot more of them built. There easyer to get and cheaper than the 993 engine. I think that is why most of the transplants are done with the 964 setup. But the 993 setup is a alsome one. It has 260 RWHP and 235# TQ Its a ball to drive.

That is the one out of Excelence last month right?
Yes! It was in Jim Pasha's Tech Section.
He was doing a artical on Lindsay Racing wheels.

So, just curious, what does something like this cost to build?
I am going to sell this one. I need to get mid 40s for it.
I had bought this chassis years ago BEFORE they doubled in price.
Now you would have in it 40 to 50 after you get a chassis. Depending on what you wanted it setup like.
Cookie Porsche No cup holders?
There is NO Girly man stuff in this ride.
It's just you and the sound of the motor music.
Here is some more pics.

Looks great. You may want to get some curved tubing to move the air cleaner closer to where the cool air comes in, as opposed to leaving it at the back of the engine compartment to pick up hotter air. I know someone sells the type of air cleaner you have with the curved tubing, but you could probably make your own pretty easily. You could also install the Carrera RS fan pulley, which would take you to one fan belt, which I believe also drives the alternator at a slightly slower speed.
