Some sort of Porsche 356 replica, or a modified real one.

I'm feeling brave so here's my e28. I think the car looks about right just on the lookout for some 80's deep dish alloys to finish it off.

That's pretty tidy, whats been done to it?

I do love that!!

Are those rads hanging underneath at the back..................cooling for the diff oil possibly?????

[KB_S1]

Z-Tune rad is for cooling the rear diff I think yes.

Now that attention to detail!

I never quite get the need for cooling diffs... what sort of temperature should they be running at 'normal'... vs. what sort of temperature could they potentially heat up to under work?

How do you stop the oil being too cooled down? My rear diff definitely has a temperature in the middle where it runs smoothest. Does it have some sort of regulation?

A chap on here with a R35 GTR said the boot on the vehicle is useless for frozen food as the diff gets so hot it's reasonably warm inside the boot.

Its a real Porsche 1960 365B roadster converted into a race car with an amazing race history. Loads more pics and its full history here:

I love a low car as much as the next guy but can anyone please explain to me where the suspension is on this car, and no I dont think it is on bags?

I imagine it is bolted to the underside of the body, cant be sure though.

I thought the GTR had a transaxle 'box, so it would be that getting hot wouldn't it?

My old TR7-V8

Maybe? I've no idea, I just assumed it would be the diff there

That is crazy! Should it be working that hard (friction etc)... is it designed to become so hot?

I would imagine the diff could reach very high temperatures under heavy load!

That's lovely! Not modified much (unless mechanically) - but it just looks so smooooth.

Like.

Yes i think they do, would kill for one, only built 20 and were around £130k.
