Hello to all 964 Rennlisters!

First post from a prospective noob.

I'm thinking of buying a 964 C4 for AutoXing and back dating for a bit of a fun weekend toy. I have heard horror stories about all the stuff hidden behind the front bumper that is hard to displace into other areas and wondered, just what is back there?

I've done google searches for removed front bumper pics and backdating pics but haven't struck gold yet.

Anyone got a picture they are willing to share of their pride and joy naked at the front to give me a clue?

Thanks!

You basically have an oil cooler w/ an electric fan on the passenger side and an a/c condenser w/ an electric fan on the driver's side.

Wow thanks for taking the time to post that.
I can now see the challenge of not only moving that inboard for a smaller bumper but also getting inflow and outflow for the electric fans.

I have a fan and condenser under the front of my 356 coupe replica (laying flat just in front of the frame head) for the aircon and that's a bit of a squeeze and worry for damaging it all if a stone is thrown up or worse if the car is accidentally grounded.



Maybe create an internal flow system in the front trunk space? I wonder how singer do it? I should watch their video again for clues!

What issue are you trying to solve? These cars don't generally have the same issues with oil temp as the earlier cars can have...

He's planning on backdating it. So he would have to fit everything behind a much smaller bumper.

Here's what the Singer looks like behind the front bumper

I'm really not sure what i'm looking at tho. Is the center the oil cooler and the sides are the a/c condenser, or vice versa? Regardless, it's a lot of cooling capacity. Perhaps this particular car was going to a very hot climate.

The video has INDO on the tape attached to the key head. My friend said an Indonesian had ordered one. This car is probably going to Jakarta which is a hot climate.

Wow!
That's a serious amount of work there!
Again, thanks everyone for posting for the noob! Noted the headlight bowls too. Pretty clever.

I hear there are a couple of companies out there that sell complete backdating kits like DP.

Anyone know how they do it?
