I really dislike those bottom pivot pedals.  Maybe the Tilton's are alright, but they were the one thing I thought poorly done on the 914's.

All of the older 911's are the same way.  They feel really weird at first, but are great when u get used to them.

I kept getting my feet caught on them, they just seemed like a shitty idea.   I've only test driven a couple, never owned/lived with, so I bow to an experienced perspective.

I prefer floor mounted pedals as well, but I got used to them with my old 911's, seems a lot of road race guys converted to floor mount pedals as well.

[Urban Indian]

i would think that having the floor mount would be something to acquire because I have a bit larger foot and I think that my heels would get caught all the time.

What year/model did you have, 
 i've owned 3, 70 911T, 77 911 carrera(sc basically), and my current 76 930.

So this winter these are the plans


- pulling the motor
-cleaning up the engine bay
    - Making a new engine Harness
    - moving brake system inside the car
    - making a new clutch line so I can use my tilton control valve
    - exospeed 3-piece front end
    - possible matte black finish for the whole car
    - cleaning up all the wiring in that car
    - push lock vacuum lines(tired of the heater hose & vacuum lines)
    - New passenger intake manifold
    - cage


who knows if it will actually get done




what do you think of color choice?

did you know those cars are not actually painted right? they are covered in a foil that said to protect paint, I've seen the R8 before, I have a friend who had it done to his new c class, and know a guy who got it done to his ep3, because it was cheaper than actual paint, it cost 1000 euros to do on cars. 3m

 last i remembered it was paint. But i could be wrong..
Since i was going to paint my car that color. I'd hate to have paid $300 a pint for foil

It's Satin Black!!

[ScorpioMk]

3m scotchcal 85. comes in lots of colors.

most of those pictured are probably a nice black paint job with the flattening agent added to the clear coat.

I know. THAT IS WHAT I SAID

[theidealone]

Its actually called "Matte Clear". Its a bitch to spray evenly. Its more commonly used to spray engine bays, and jams that dont have a shiny finish to them.

And I think Rudeboy was talking about Vinyl wrap. I saw a VW that was wrapped with argyle. It was pretty cool, but not worth the cash IMO.

[Joseph Davis]

Argyle is cool on socks, not on cars.  Trust a VW fanboy to fuck perfectly good argyle up.

The only thing that bothers me is the clutch.  I have no problems with gas/brake.  But then again im normally wearing steel toe boots so it might not be the same with pumas.

The pedal thing would not be a consideration for me when buying the car though.  You really do get used to it.

A 1970 911e with a fiberglass slantnose widebody kit, first had the 2.7 fail, than a 3.0sc engine with a homebrew turbo setup that never worked right, than bought a 3.2 carrera engine with a mating g50 tranny that I got scammed on, bought from texas, never received it, but did lose $6500usd.

And a 72 911t with a standard fiberglass 930 body kit, this one was actually really nice, and had a 2.4s engine with webbers. And yes I do hate the widebody coversions, but my plans were always to just make track cars but never got around to it, shit hit the fan and they got sold. Haven't had a cool car since.

Where are pics of the '76?

[Urban Indian]

I got scammed on, bought from texas, never received it, but did lose $6500usd.

Bitch prob had it fall on her, crushing her in a slow painful death.


She deserved it

[marcj]

looks insane and makes me really want to up the boost from 10psi on my hx35 :yes:

[Urban Indian]

I am upping the boost next year to max the turbo ( not that it will stay there) but i want to know

[Robb]

Bitch prob slipped in the oil puddle the leaky lower valve covers caused and cracked her skull.


She deserved it

only 10psi?  what engine?  what are you waiting on, i'm pretty sure that turbo will make 25+ on anything 4 stroke

Had 930 lowers, no leaks.

Satin Black is decently easy to spray. I've sprayed whole cars down to small parts. I've always used a single stage to do it tho. with the flattened clear it is VERY hard to make consistent even for a really good painter. Any fluctuations in temperature make it flatter or leave it with more of a sheen in some places. with the single stage if you have a temperature controlled room you wont have a problem.

[Urban Indian]

ALRIGHT


Time to de fucking nigger rig this bitch


first step was removing all wire, zip ties, vacuum lines etc etc. pulling the motor etc etc


a couple teaser pictures

[90turboteg]

badass nog. get that shit done. im currently fixing all the problems with my crx, replacing alot of shit, painting the engine bay.... everything it really needs. before i make power so it dosent feel like its going to fall apart.
So how far north of sumas are you

[d112crzy]

Is that a new and improved teepee you enjins use these days?

[Urban Indian]

That is it.

Wires are out, dash is out. motor is basically unbolted

[j.h.christ]

i hope the rebuild includes a larger intercooler

[Urban Indian]

So I pulled the manifold off and on cylinder #1 its full of this silver black paste

Interested I am, soot in my exhaust

[dvst8r]

...So how far north of sumas are you...

He is about ~450miles north of sumas.

[crxvtec91]

Damn now that is some  riging. Clean that shit up, no wonder you had a lot of problems. Other wise I like. How warm is the tent inside?
