Was cool spending time with these guys....

Stance is everything..............

From our "day in the life" shoot for Total 911.....

The RS hot rod made it to Europe..

Many of you have probably seen the RS clone in Magnus his workshop a while ago. He picked up the car for me last February, and I drove it around SoCal for 2 weeks in March. A great adventure I have to say. After my working-holiday in L.A. Magnus started work on the car for me and after doing a bunch of proper test drives he shipped it off to The Netherlands last July. The car arrived a little while ago and is now ready for DMV import inspection, to which I'll be going tomorrow morning. Wish me luck!

Here's a photo of today, running around the Dutch country side. Autumn is kicking in and it sure helps with taking a few cool photos. Click to enlarge..... -M.

80 mm studs

sometimes people ask me why it takes so many hours to restore a 911!

i have never kept track of my time & hours because to me its still my hobby,

once you start counting hours & dollars then it becomes a job :)

that is also the reason why i am NOT BUILDING CUSTOMER CARS!

 

here  is a great example of one of the many jobs that ends up taking many

hours but looks like it takes a few minutes.

i have been using 72MM studs on a lot of my recent builds as i LOVE the racy look of long studs & open ended Lug Nuts..

so for my current labor of LOVE my 72STR I decided i would go with a slightly longer stud.........

100MM was too long so i settled on 80MM

 

 all was good up to this point,

it wasn.t until we pressed the 80 mm studs into the rear hub that we realised

they were almost 1 " short on the thread  comapared to the 72 mm studs.

not wanting any fender -wheel rubbing issues that may have resulted in the addition of spaces....

i decded to cut the treads down almost 1 " to my desired depth..

let the fun begin

 

80 mm studs in the rear hub installed in a bench vise..

i installed a rear rotor for the desired thread depth & went to work.

a bit of TAP MAGIC OIL & 14 mm cutting die & off i went,,

i made sure not to cross threads at the start & after every full turn i reveresd

the die to avoid metal shard clogging..

after the first 10 were done .they were pressed out of the hubs & the next 10 were installed & cut .

 some TIME LATER all 20 were done  & pressed free from the hubs.....

 

now i realized that i would need to coat them to prevent "rusting" so i decided to send them out for black zinc plating..

BAG O STUDS....RE THREADED ......

 

another part of the porsche slippery slope..

 

NO DOUBT IT WILL BE WORTH IT IN THE END :)

 

Cheers
