I just love seeing all the "impact bumper" 911s here! When I got my Trackmeister many years ago, I distinctly recall a seeming craze to do the long-hood revamp to their SC/Carreras ...seemed like so many were doing it as the former were going astronomical in value, and the latter were dime a dozen. Now the latter has become a quasi-commodity! Keep rockin the pics, gents! Love them all (like that ^^ stunning '67!!! ) but so nice to see our beautiful "later" cars getting the love

Old pics, ones I've posted before, but indulge me, if you would ...it's Thanksgiving

A bit of a close up of mine today. New oil lines and S tube.

Nice job! BTW - what are you running for coil-overs - and are you using them to replace the T'bars - or are they in addition (can't see the whole setup in your image).. As well, did you reinforce the shock towers?

So many questions - I know - BUT - it's a offshoot of posting a more technical pic - rather than the full car

Here's mine.

John, I'm more than happy to answer any and all questions from you.

Shocks started life as Bilstein Sports that I took to Bilstein Poway. They put in new valves(to match a 28/29mm Tbar), oil, seals, rods, and cut the groves to hold the coilover sleeves and gave them new serial numbers. The sleeves came from Rebel S Racing who also supplied the 6"x150# Eibach main spring(bump stop). There is also a Faulkner 4"x80#(aids the stock Tbar) and a 4"x4# helper spring. The idea was to have adjustability on a rear end that was otherwise not so adjustable. That, and decent Tbars were on a multi-month back order and cost quite a bit more. Basically did what the factory did on early RS cars. Oh the Huge Manatee

I did not reinforce the shock towers as I've still got the stock Tbars installed and they are holding the majority of the weight.

They match the Bilstein struts and inserts up front. Numbers come out to 21/29

Just remembered that I had a photo of one of the shocks sitting in my top drawer a few years ago.....so I took a photo of a photo.

Many thanks @Amber - terrific write up and list of parts..! I've worked with clint at rebel racing who built me a set for my '88 930 (attached below), but never put them in - wondering about the mount tower reinforcing.? I'm running 30mm T'bars rear with elephant poly bushings and their adj. trailing arms - so, the question.

Many thanks, amber!

That's a terrific shot, John! Not to mention a gorgeous 930 ...enjoy it, sir!!!

Many thanks Edward..! After running it on the street & track for the past four years (with stock interior - including 3-point factory belts), and showing it in the PCA Parade Historics in Indiana (driven to & from! ) - it's deserved a place of honor in my garage, alongside our '68 911L and others... I think it's now off track duty, with it's last event being three days at The Glen last season. I love that car - so, my thanks, buddy!
