964 Refurb
#796
Just bought this off ebay to use as the basis of my winter project. (Removed from a 1983 Porsche 944)
This will be a big step along the simplification route. So much wiring and complexity will be removed.
Oooooh yes Mr CCU, your days are finally numbered

Singer (Hong Kong) engine bay, note heat duct routing in absence of dual distributor.

Yeah, it's a bit of a mystery. They went over board with shielding in other areas but totally neglected the rear arches. Maybe it was a heat concern?
Not an issue now tho since I run with no cat and a cup pipe instead of the primary muffler. It'll be nice to hopefully not have muddy water running out from under the lights and down the bumper anymore

Did the 993's have them? If so could they be retrofitted to the 964? It's been something that's been bothering me too - all that road dirt and grim ending up caking the the right light rears...
Any flexible plastic that could be cut to fit should help (anything that prevents a direct path to the rear corners I would have thought).

A great mod for cars that have the muffler delete and cat bypass

It looks like Singer has managed a comparable feat due to their lack of a distributor. Look closely where the distributor use to be, they've installed a heat duct down there on the engine shroud and it likely get plumbed down to the engine tin.

Being in Australia, and now in summer, we get regular 40 degree (celcius) days here out in the bush - so not sure if I'd risk it - but would maybe trial it if they were easily removable.
Have you got a template you can post that I can cut out from?

You must be reading my mind - that is something i had on my mind ever since i started my project. I am very curios about how you gonna make this work!

I looked at doing this myself after (each washing of the car) hosing out the crap that gets back there. However, then it occured to me that being an air cooled engine, it needs air (thanks Captain obvious....) so perhaps that is why there is nothing there as there would be a significant reduction of air flow with that area blocked off? Just my guess.

I just love the clean look of the l/h of your engine bay in Vandits photoshopped pic above hiding all the coils and harness clutter.
A nice carbon cover plate to hide this would look great. It would probably work even better if you made two so I could steal one from you
I started mocking up a two piece cover in card a while back but it has slipped down the job list for now.
Anything that declutters these engine bays always makes them more pleasing to look at for me. I should practice what I preach really!

Rob, haven't been on Rennlist for a while but great catching up with the ongoing development of your car - I continue to be amazed how you find ways to improve the car and how even your improvements are improved with little touches to make it neater or cleaner.
