Simonoz Posted 10April, 2014 Report Share Posted 10April, 2014 sometimes even upgrading or removing the wife restrictor from the car also helps Agreed, but at what cost? Be cheaper to buy a factory built racing Porsche than taking this route? Or root, as the case may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardust Posted 10April, 2014 Report Share Posted 10April, 2014 Yes, I contemplated one of the Weissach optioned Wife bypasses like the ones they have on the factory race cars (how can the factory guys afford it?). I'd end up with a smoking' hot Porsche but not much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBRUT Posted 10April, 2014 Report Share Posted 10April, 2014 Overseas alot and thinking about selling my 996 series 2 and converting an an early car to r Gruppe hot rod. Forget about what it is worth at the end. I am overseas alot and love driving my car when I am back. What would it cost?? to convert an 78 911 {$20K out of NZ} into a st replica toy? I have a Bmw 3.0 cs as well, I love the 70's hot rod look. This is the look I like with fuel filler through hood. A mate will shortly be selling an early 911 r gruppe style car with excellent mechanicals (e.g. trick twin plug motor). It's based on a factory rhd 911 (1970 from memory) and would only need the front and rear flares changed for ST look. Send me a pm if you are interested and I'll put you in touch. Cheers, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stardust Posted 10April, 2014 Report Share Posted 10April, 2014 It's our anniversary today (Wife, not car). Nice swish meal and I bought her this: It's a one-off Wife de-regulator and they used it on the IROC cars, I'm told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonoz Posted 10April, 2014 Report Share Posted 10April, 2014 Who would have thought that something as simple as a diamond encrusted FIA Derestrictor would improve the performance of the Wife! I wonder if you'll notice a coincidental improvement in the overall handling too, Dave? Suspect you might, at least initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice swish meal and I bought her this: It's a one-off Wife de-regulator and they used it on the IROC cars, I'm told. What is the $ gearing on that "Wife de-regulator"? Is it 1:1? That ring looks like a lot of go fast bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardust Posted 10April, 2014 Report Share Posted 10April, 2014 Apologies for the thread highjack. As to R-Gruppe, I'm thinking Group 4 al-la Señor Sainz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
