Campaigned extensively in the Middle East but never damaged, this car was bought by the owner to partipate in organized rallies (Colorado Grand) and for occasional street use. A superb preservation class candidate both mechanically and aesthetically, the objective was to do a complete mechanical restoration leaving no fastener or component undisturbed, The car was completely disassembled and all systems rebuilt and enhanced where needed to make this car a dead reliable and, as much as a full blown rally car with an RSR based engine can be made, tractable for street driving. The list below is just a partial sample of the unique (and now somewhat irreplaceable) components in this car. Rothmans 911SC RS Factory Rally Specification 3.0 Litre RSR based, Bosch MFI High butterfly injection 915 Trans with 1 piece factory billet pinion thrust plate Positraction with highest numerical ratio ring/pinion available Central oiled & spray bar'd 47mm 4 bearing cams 3.2 litre carrera type heads with single plug ignition magnesium center oiler timing covers with solid chain tensioners RSR IROC clutch with no overcenter spring provision Turbo upper/lower valve covers in magnesium plain gelcoat fiberglass matt coverered trailing arms dual master cylinders with push to lock hydraulic handbrake Every alloy engine cover in Magnesium including MFI pump Aluminum doors hood and decklid 930 turbo brake calipers & discs The most intriguing elements turned out to be the variety of components the factory race shop combined to produce this car, especially the engine, and the extensive use of magnesium, all carefully Cad II (gold) plated to prevent instant corrosion. This restoration predates our program of comprehensively photographing our projects. With the exception of the engine shots, all pictures were taken on a return visit to the shop in the Fall of 2005 to have more modern tires fitted, as the original rally issue had proven a bit much on pavement in the rain. The owner has since retired to Phoenix and one of our supplier's customers reported seeing it cruising down the road. It is seeing such regular road use now the customer is shipping it back to have taller ratios fitted on the top 4 gears and the addition of an over center spring assembly to lighten clutch effort.
