964 - Project

[Steve Rance]

Lovely...

[Steve Rance]

Ha! looks like it too.

What sort of times would a 964 with a track orientated set up do around spa?

Also, where did you get the stainless steel towing eye rrom?

[Steve Rance]

Under 3 minutes is pretty good for 250 - 300bhp.

Thanks for the link on the towing eye. I'm still undecided on tyres - waiting for some feedback on the new Toyo's before i make up my mind. Have any of you guys tried them?

[Steve Rance]

Hi Richie

I'm not familiar with the relative lap times around that circuit. How do they compare with the old Toyo's in terms of lap time?

[Steve Rance]

Impressive. What mods does that car have?

Sean was one of the best 911 drivers that I knew and a good friend. I still find it hard to accept

[Steve Rance]

Brakes and Suspension fitted. Ride height set. Geo next then interior

[Steve Rance]

Thanks Richie. Actually the footprint is probably good enoug with 215 at the front and 255 at the rear. I will probably run 225 and 265 and do some testing to get a balance

[Steve Rance]

Carpet set in. Parcel shelf carpet yet to be stuck down

[Steve Rance]

It's RS -20mm. Dont worry, i'm used to extreme set ups on the road so hopefully it will be fine.

I want to get as much performance as i can realisticaly achive on track but want to keep the engine and box spec as standard as poss so i need to be a little extreme on the chassis to find the performance.

Thanks Neil. To be honest, a lot of my enthusiasm is down to the air cooled element (sic) of the forum. It's like the whole of this forum used to be.

Fair points... and good on you for keeping engine/box standard.
Point was more from a compliance point of view re: speed bumps, driveways, etc. RS-20mm is hardcore!

Fully understand. To be honest, the two aspects of the build that worry me slightly are the ride heights and spring/damper combo. If taken a no compromise option. It's a gamble. If it doesn't pay off I can always increase the ride heights and fit a set of B10's

[Steve Rance]

Colin Belton at ninemeister was very helpful with advice on dampers and ultimately supplied my Clubsports. Paul also suggested them. I've looked at the spring rates and I am reasonably confident that if the valving is as good as I'm told that it is, they should be spot on. It's good to hear from someone who has them fitted on their 964 and is happy with the results.

Hi Pete. I think I've seen a pic of your 964 full of wheels before! May get up to the Classic. Are you out in the GT2?

[Steve Rance]

I think that under 3.0 mins on road tyres is respectable. I may skulk over to spa and mince around the circuit for a few days and see how the little car performs.

[Steve Rance]

Wheels have arrived from Germany. Nice quality

[Steve Rance]

Thanks for the heads up. These are not the original remakes. I liked them but wasn't keen on the need for spacers on the rear so I went for these chaps by dynamic speed. These are ET48 and do not need spacers. I will keep an eye on the rear oil line though. Good advice.

[Steve Rance]

18". Fronts are 8,5 and rears 10.

[Steve Rance]

Almost finished.
