porsche 911 rsr - big & small shoes

these look great, 235 & 275 x 17"

ok, too high, maybe ill try to photoshop it a bit...

way too high, great for paris-dakar maybe...

i like the looks, something a bit different...

Still alive!

I survived of the open heart surgery, and i am feeling better now, its been 3-4 weeks of it and have to say it was worth the hassle! Did you know that this is the one of the most expensive surgery in usa? It costs something like 350.000 usd?! Crazy thing... Im happy to live in finland! :-) it costs in here 391€... Think about that! :-) ... So how this relates to this picture? Well i guess that i might be trying to race my ghia with this "accelerator" in the summer! .... Hope so!

Shit happens - again & again

Now i know how the "stroke" feels, as i got one, it was looong lasting. But hey, i'm still around,
Im again hospitalised, and for the moment im waiting for a heart surgery... It should happen in a week, :-) the last 2 years has been very sad & dissapointing and i have had a lot of heart problems, but in the examinations, i have been told that i have no problems with my blood circulation...
Well after the stroke, i came to the hospital and they checked me in endoscopy... Badabing, 3 veins 90-95 % blocked... So now i will stay at the bed! Till they open my chest and stops my "pump".
After that... Who knows

porsche 911 rsr - front tires

235-40-17. dig it!

karmann ghia - update...

my ghia looks really good in (p. laitinen´s) shiny white garage...

its getting together nicely...

(WTB) good door handles needed! 

let me know if you got them, for a 1960 model.

1972 porsche RSR wannabe. with the "big shoes".

Ok, first i am going to try spacers / adapters ... they are coming from http://www.performancewheeladapters.com and the model is this

"5x130 to 5x120 Wheel Adapter 1.25 inch" ...lets how how it turns out.

1972 PORSCHE RSR - wheels of torture

This episode wont take this project any further, but is just fun, no need to photoshop, when you can take a wheel from the box and "trial fit"...ok now i need approx. 30 mm spacer, to get the rear wheel in its place. the front is still a mystery... :-) But for my eyes, it looks RIGHT! (ok its still pretty high, but still it looks good!)

porsche RSR replica

The RSR replica is finally at the cottage. its time for some + / - inspections. 

the flares are steel and the body dont look rusted. thats a BIG +

AA-slugs, my x-mas present to myself.

superflow Heads - check

special cylinders - check

AA pistons - check

FK-something cam - check

scat rods - check

scat crank - check

...block stil needed... ;-)

stroker project - collecting more parts

Thanks to Rob Harris, i got some 94mm modular barrels from USA.
these looks pretty cool, and i hope my future stroker engine will be a bit cooler with these.
now i need some pistons, wiseco´s or mahles or some other good brand.
i still need a block, oxyboxer would be great, have to make a call to kangasniemi motorzentrum ;-)
or dismantle a running 1600 cc engine. if you have a spare stroker block 82x94, let me know.
actually this stroker setup is whispering.... nine-12 .... nine-12 ...nine-12...

well think about this, a 912 porsche with a 82x94-superflow screamer... bigger brakes, 17 inch fuchs-look-a-likes, lowered, but otherwise pretty much stock, would be a great driver... but that needs a long call to kankasniemi. ;-)
