.....just read the feature in CP, a nice article on a very special car.....as ever with your cars.....if only!Lightweight_911 wrote:?.....& (almost) quick enough to put a smile on our faces screaming up & down various mountain passes with the sound of the exhaust bouncing off the rockfaces .....
The next owner will be a lucky person for sure!
Out of curiosity, to eliminate the 'almost', what changes would you make to the drivetrain?
Cheers,
Darren

Doh... Misunderstanding on my part as I thought the car had been 'acquired' by KK... Blame it on age, drugs and an impending trip away!Lightweight_911 wrote:I don't know where Keith got that idea from - the car's not been sold yet !!

If I was keeping the car, I'd probably source/build a slightly uprated (912) engine - I think something producing around 100-110 bhp would be enough ...
