Love it. Bring it to a 2-Litre Cup round next season - Spa and Dijon very do-able as a weekend road trip
Re: 1966 911
Thanks
Yes, the car will be put on a rolling road at some point once run in.
Good idea Robert, like the sound of that.

Re: 1966 911
Thought I would continue the comments about your car on this thread - must have missed it somehow. I love it, just looks so right. Did you ever dyno the car? Must be a lot of fun to drive with a bit more go and relatively light.
A SWB car is on my bucket list, something like this would be perfect. Good work.

Re: 1966 911
Sadly the rolling road was all booked and ready and then.....yup....virus. So it will have to wait. Definitely needs rolling road tuning to get it running as it should.
Just had new clutch, flywheel and clutch balanced and the box rebuilt by Mike B. Suspension, brakes, steering rack rebuilt, the list goes on and on. There wont be many SWBs as well sorted as this one that aren't currently on 2.0l cup duty. Just need to be able to use it now : (
There is now nothing on this car that hasn't been refurbished, rebuilt and in some cases (far too many for me to want to detail), rebuilt twice....you live and learn.

That's a shame, looks like a great build. Yes, not a lot happening this year I suspect.

Re: 1966 911
A good morning spent at Northampton Motorsport on the rolling road. Highly recommend them - Troy was really good at explaining stuff to an idiot like me. The various running issues have been rectified and the car feels great. Jets were changed to slightly smaller ones - £285 all in. Money well spent. Troy works on Tuthills cars. 210bhp seen on their £70k race engines.
Mine showed 183.5bhp "corrected flywheel power" and 161.4nm of torque. Car has S cams, 40IDS Webers, 2.2 heads and 10.5:1 pistons.

Spent a fair amount of time praying that the engine and/or the straps holding the car down wouldn't let go in spectacular fashion
