Dyno's Carerra 3.0 Hot Rod

Post by Dyno Soar »

I thought it was about time I added my car to the Gallery.

Pics courtesey of: Dyno Soar, Viv Surby, Gilbert and Fourteener


I bought this car in January of 2005, like this:

I then had it backdated to look early..

Image


That was after selling my Porsche 928S2 concours winner..

Image

Image

Image

It was like new.. no kidding. Only having covered 61,000 miles in its life. I'll get another, one day but in black and hopefully a s4 manual.



and my 356 project, which I regret selling but wasn't quite like new..

Image

Image

I must get another.. but again it must be an 'A' or pre A in Black. :)


Anyway back to the 911.

The car originally started out as a 1977 Carerra 3.0 of which only 1400 or so were made. I am led to believe that this model is getting quite collectable now and will only increase in value and perhaps I have done the wrong thing in making a hotrod or Outlaw car out of it. Oops, well I like it anyway.
The car did originally come with impact bumpers, whale tail etc.. but as you can see I have binned it in favour of the early look.

Inside I have a aged Momo Prototipo steering wheel for that authentic 70's look and feel. I have also installed a set of BF Torino sports seats with FIA approved race harnesses to keep me planted while I lay the power down.

Powering the beast is a higher compression 3.2 Motronic engine circa 85, coupled to the 915 gearbox of the same year. The car also fortunatly features later wide 'A' brakes all around, which are phenominal in reducing velocity. I have also added Goodridge stainless steel brakes hoses for added braking efficiency.
I have recently added a new ECU chip and the power is way up over the stock 230bhp. My butt dyno can feel the difference in a big way. :) I am also running a Dansk Sport pre-Muffler and Fabspeed Mufflerbypass, which means the car is fairly LOUD! It really gives you that LeMans race car sound but the downside is that is not discreet, which would be nice.

Here is 'Dyno's Beast' She ain't pretty but but has is where it counts.

Looks cool, great effort. Which took longer, backdating the car or sculpting that beard?! :P

Looking forward to seeing ( hearing) this in the flesh :)

Have you thought about an early 'period' number plate so you can run black & silver plates without being pulled? ( I know technically this isn't legal)

Thanks lads.. I know some of the pictures have been seen before. I'll do a full photographic job on the whole car in moody locations when I get back from Oz. :) I know its not as pretty as alot of the cars on here but its a very purposefull car and has ALOT of personality!

Fraser, the beard was inspired by the Attwood Porsche 917 racing lines.. its my physical go faster stripes. :P Doesn't take long to do at all... its been a Dyno Feature for over 10 years now.

James, mate I am sure you will love the sound. Everyone does.. when passing at 5,000rpm and climbing it really hollers! You can help but smile.. can't wait to get the car oop north.

I was running a black and silver plate but it fell off the back going up the A3. I was a tad miffed with it so didn't order another.. maybe I will get a sticker number plate.

Don't worry BJM the pics have a habit of returning.

:)

Brilliant, I love it!
I've always played with the idea of having a pre-impact bumper 911 in matt black. A real bad boy, dirty matt black 911. Hmm... maybe next project.

The Beast is looking alot better now days and will soon by up for another overhaul for the new year. With a baby on the way I finding difficult to take it out. Need to put some miles on the engine.
