In the meantime I am finishing another 2 WRC delta, I started thinking about my next project.

I write a premise: my good friend model maker Riccardo tried to take me on the "right" way of the hystoric racing.
The idea would have been a LeMans (the 4H race in the 24) # 62 driven by Lennep with an NA engine and Martini livery ..... not to be confused with the Turbo # 46 always used by Lennep, always at LeMans, always Martini but at 24H race.
Beautiful cars, but that don't make “fall in love” like an mp4/4 or a Delta. If I continue to model my historical subjects it will be the F1, the WRC and some LeMans .... the rest I like custom or tuning like my Golf GTI

My inspiration starts from a Porsche seen live at Woerthersee 2013 .... an awesome USA 964: it is practically original, just very low (airride) and a rotiform rims.
The idea of my Porsche is based on this: a car with original shapes (practically a sleeper .... if a sleeper can be defined as a Porsche) "slammed" on the ground, 4 rims but with a turbo engine and therefore probably with the rear open bumper and with turbo clearly visible just like on the Lennep RSR in 24H Lemans

Now I’m studying the various engines between the various 935 of 76 and 79; there will be a lot to work and it will not be easy ... I don't even know if I will be able.

I have the first 21 double issues with the possibility of understanding how difficult it will be to move the cooling fan horizontally

The biggest problems will be:
-Exhaust manifolds
-Wastegate
-Turbo intake
-alternator
-Intercooler position


The rest will be the classic two-seater, internally emptied, rollcage and the usual mix of carbon, airride and bbs rims

We will see that “salade” will emerge from it.

I’ll second that

A couple of commissioned Delta are now almost completed ... I finally free from that it seemed a captivity; Now I can finally return to my own models.

I started working on the ride height, on future rims and Others.
And i start to convert this naturally aspirated flat six into a turbo.

I tryed the future RC rims which are slightly larger in diameter than the original Fuchs and which fit quite well on the original golf gti tires.












I started by assembling the chassis, transmission, suspension unit to work on the set-up.
The original height is very high for me.
I have identified where i can made changes and adjust to drop it go.







The rim is a wider and to fit the tire I belted it with a strip of styrene to stretch and to achieve the same width as the rim.

On the front, however, I have to work more harder.
The front arms touch the frame with a extremely dropping chassis.
Other problems are that the steering arms work as a contrast spring and the front fenders did not allow the housing of the tire with this drastically drop.











In addition to thinning the front arms, another interference is caused by a reinforcement rod on the front arm itself .... and I started creating the notch on the frame.

Other interferences to drop front are the internal fenders and the vertical rising of the shock absorbers ... the head of the absorber hit the inner of front trunk.

I started to file but it was not enough, I replaced the screws with washers with screws from Delta kit but still not enough.

I cut the part of the fender that hit the wheel

Once I found my right set up, I arrived at the first "point of no return".

Using the image of his sister RSR, I removed the trunk strut of the bodywork and chassis ... with the rear outside turbo they will no longer be needed.

I'm using Chrome too - no pictures or links showing.

I modify all the pic i think now they're visible.

The turbo will be positioned in the zone like on its sister RSR.
i started with the mutual help with Eidai parts.
In the RSR the engine frame is not complete as on the RS, the engine frame towards the opening of the engine hood are not present and the engine is fixed with the aid of a trapezoidal frame directly connected to the frame side members.

This frame as well as being a fixing point for the engine also has the function of supporting the turbo.

My idea is to replicate this frame using the Eidai one as the dimension and matrix as it fits perfectly onto the DeA chassis.
