DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Agree, that ^^^ is a much easier engine and risk-free Rob.
I thought a '2.4' conversion to a 2.2 engine was a bit meccarno? Could be wrong, been a very long time since I thought about 2.4's as opposed to 3.2's.

I think the Dempsey book goes through a lot of the common tune-up configurations?

Groans down a drain pipe: miss spent youth! Engine/box mounts all Porsche rubber original design, all about 10 years old when I removed the set of polybushes. Ignore it? Probalby the right way to go. The car drives great, just a bit harsh, could be play in the box after all these years. Going to swo...

I'm with Sam. No real big deal is it? The Singer product is great, looks etc and spec and performance all good otherwise there would not be a buyer in sight at the price. I would say a carbon tub is a move too far, RUF included, from the sheet steel of the Real Deal but that is hidden away. Good pub...

Just as these things snowball...
Wonder if part of the heater control valve may have broken and dropped down inside the heat exchanger?
Rather not take the heat exchanger off and so risking an exhaust stud shearing off.

Deffo not a grave piece rattling around, this is a deep rooted sound grumbling, bit like low level groaning down a drain pipe! Takes the edge off the driving experience! I have a near new Dansk SS 2 in 1 out silencer in the shed, so will prob swop it over and see. This car is nearly too loud for a r...

I have a 73T with a stock 3.2 engine and Sports 915 box. Everything works, engine strong, box good as it was rebuilt a few years ago, so the power train is good. On the road, and for several years there is a very general 'gruffness' as you go down the road at reasonable speeds. Of course, I cannot d...

Simply Buyer Beware?
Due diligence and research before purchase.
Hard on the Auction Houses too?

Wherever there are large monies to be made you will have this.

Went to a low-key Early Register run to the PCGB Club House and met up with fellow DDK'r John and about 12 other early 911's. Almost as many Targa's as coups! Very dull when taking pics but otherwise a sunny dryish day. Good to get the car out and a long run, but my early 911 is not the best 'traffi...

Oh yes, plenty of those happenings in my hobbies!
I think anyone who do these kinds of things have such irritations come along...

You should have seen me fighting to put the trailer onto the Skoda yesterday.

Good weekend hillclimbing in the Lola, but Clive broke his Empire race car on Saturday, and returned on Sunday with this, a Bib Block Ford 427 Cobre. Certainly brightened up the paddock, sound was unreal: https://i.postimg.cc/50qHtx4H/IMG-2186.jpg And to top it off in another part of the paddock The...

Not me, but I know someone who has one with that mod and it was transformed.

Blow by blow report expected!

If your 1/4" drive has a 'wobble' end to it, the smaller socket and that feature will make life much better and ensure you nip the parts together evenly.

It's an impressive wrap for sure, looks great in the sun.
I saw some pictures Jonathan today!!
Cricky!

I replaced those nuts with K type nuts, flanged at one end, but M6 / 10mm AF. This allows a smaller socket on a 1/4" entention etc to do them up etc. on the LOLA carb manifolds where I have less space than you! They are copper plated too so resistant to corrosion, even cheap for a special faste...
