Tuthill 911K

Been enjoying the car to the max, it is totally immersive and a bit bonkers, every squirt of the throttle even to 6000 rpm just makes me laugh. The CR6ZZ’s give a fair amount of grip and you can get the power down on really poor surfaces. The joy of a properly set up “old” 911!

My attempts at in-car video are rubbish so far. I don’t think the inbuilt microphone on my gopro 7 black properly conveys the sound from the cabin. Any recommendations for solutions/external microphones?

I use this, you just need to buy a case for the gro pro that can accept it, works really well across the different cars I have and brings out the proper noise in my experience.

This case should be fine but double check:

Vlog Case Action Camera Housing Shell Vlogging Cage Frame with Cold Shoe Mount Compatible with GoPro Hero 7 6 5 Black for External Microphone & Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter https://amzn.eu/d/g5bdqnb

• you will also need the official gro pro 3.5mm to usbC adapter.

Andrew - congrats on the 911K. Interested in your comments re the CR6ZZs. Any opinion / points of comparison against TB15's? Struggling to get hold of TB15's where I am and wondered if the Avons would be a viable alternative. Thanks.

Thanks. I will look into this further! Henry Catchpole will no doubt do a video in the spring so I may just leave it to the professionals!

Thank you! I’ve not tried TB15’s though I know Richard considered them but opted for the Avons instead. He did tell me why but I can’t recall, will find out.

Thanks Andrew, that would be very helpful. At this rate might end up with a set of cut TB5's. Cheers.

Wow! Just seen this in the Tuthill email and found myself here. Got some catching up to do! Congratulations on a spectacular car, look forward to hearing more.

I’m really enjoying it, the car is a huge sensory experience!

I've only just found this thread and have read it in one session. What a fabulous thing that car is. I hope the owner will have many unforgettable drives in it.

Thanks Andrew, I've just lost 3 hours with 'er indoors and the 3 kids reading this wonderful thread. Thank you!

JR - not had TB15’s - but do have Avon CR6ZZ’s on my old AC 911 - absolutely brilliant tyre

As my car was build #2, it is benefiting from updates because Tuthill are continuing to tweak the car.

Here are the rally timers, customised by Bremont with the Tuthill and 911K logos and mounted on a carbon plate.

Also the airbox for the heater has been replaced with a carbon one.

A few other updates to come in the near future.

Those pedals look like an absolute joy to operate! Apologies if it has been covered but is there a proper pedal box behind there?

Thanks, yes there is. And you are right, they are a joy to operate!

Replicas, and gearknob. CGT my favourite car and wanted something in the 911K as a tribute.

Finally, some sunshine! The amethyst paint really comes alive.

That looks absolutely stunning Andrew!!! Fantastic to see you using it as intended as well! Hope you get many happy miles in her!

Thank you. Yes, it has been used in all weathers since I collected it late last year. Only recently that it has been dry and reasonably warm, and I have been able to push it a bit more. The whole experience is insane, in a good way

Said it before but that's one of my favourite car colours ever since I laid eyes on a Midnight Purple R34 as a teenager.
