Thanks everyone for the warm wishes, those in Brissy when it gets up here I'll bring it to the next drive day and Marti can bring her Polo so we have a VW as well with us

Nice.

While I don't claim to be a massive Porschophile (albeit am part owner of a 1977 Carrera 3.0) that looks more like a replica of a 1973 2.7 RSR than a 1974 3.0 RSR. Still a nice piece.

Other than the front and read bumper bars and exhaust it is a replica of a 74 IROC 3.0 RSR. The engine in my car is a 3.0 litre with similar work done to it, the rear guards (all steel) are wider than a standard RS but not as wide at the RSR and with out the RSR slots, they are the correct width and shape that the IROC RSR cars were. I will be adding the IROC front and rear bars and oil cooler, the IROC Whale Tail for track use as well as the IROC exhaust and intake manifold, throttle plates and velocity stacks but will keep the ducktail for the street.

The 74 IROC cars came from the factory with a Ducktail and were only fitted with the IROC Whale Tail before the first race as seen in the following two pictures, the colour one being 12 of the 15 IROC cars leaving the factory in West Germany the second with them on the transporter from the port of LA.





This is what it will look like for the track when it is finished, same as the Hulme 3.0 IROC RSR



I have a heap more info here from the person who was building the car with links to all the 15 IROC cars, images and VIN numbers etcif you'd like them.

Cheers Al

Thanks Geoff, I was down in Sydney this morning buying it, hence the posts. Still haven't been to sleep yet and have to get up at 7, 3 hours last night I'm a complete zombie now but still so psyched up about it. Will be a mess until it gets here and I can play.

Cheers Al

Ah, I didn't know about the IROC version. Learn something new every day.

Once again nice piece of kit. Glad to hear it will hit both street and track like every Porsche should.
