She looks well..

So tell us the full story.. How did you find her, what was it like getting it imported ??
 
well story is i had been looking for about 8 months for a turbo then i happened upon this on on a tiny advert on rennlist ...........

she was sitting at a garage called paddockracing who modify and race 911's , it was a customers car which was in for a front mount oil cooler install but had deciced to sell so they agreed to advertise it for him , been sitting about six months !

got the docs , cert of auth , reciepts/dyno graphs all sent over plus talked to the garage owner who knew the cars history ........ and the deal was done !

importing took a while as it missed the first boat , then US customs decided to take it off a second boat for a random inspection , finally got a third boat 2 months later ! , got it to felistowe , same nightmare with customs ....... held for scan ! unbeliveable luck ! , then got it transported to liverpool.

met guy with car at liverpool docks , quick trip to halfrauds to buy new battery ! ....... onto boat and home !

bit of work for mot , fog lights /indicators/sidelights etc etc then she passed first go ! , now taxed/insured and on the road

whole process prob took about 4 months but normall could be done in 2 i would say 8) :lol:


basic specs are

- haltech pistons /rods etc
- 3.2 heads with twin plugs
- haltech 3.4L conversion
- custom intercooler
- all mechanical ignition etc replaced by programmable ECU etc
- custom headers
- big single turbo (greddy ??) not sure make yet !
- 1 bar
- rebuilt gearbox
- rebuilt suspension all round
- running 315/45/17 s :thumb:
- genuine factory flatnose
- black leather /black paint :thumb:
- dynoed at 485bhp on 91 octane at 0.9bar :thumb:

gonna get a boost controller and a re-map this winter :thumbs: :shock:

animal to drive ! but hey its fun :mrgreen:

thanks for the comments guys
