Rgruppe Monterey or Bust!

Impossible schedule '73 911 Outlaw

April 29, 3 days to go

Rear Suspension

Rear suspension is in. Nothing remains from the original '73 suspension, every piece has been upgraded or replaced.

As the deadline looms the nights have gotten later and later. Apparently some of the neighbors lack my enthusiasm. Last night the local authorities stopped in at 3 am to investigate what the noise was all about.

I'm sure they see a lot odd things. The sight of me standing under a canopy of lights working on fender @ 3:00 am didn't even phase them, they didn't even ask why. Satisfied I'd soon be calling it a night they went on their way in search of more hardened criminals.

The outlaw is earning it's name and it hasn't even left the garage. Wait 'till they hear the S spec motor screaming at 7000 RPM through the RSR muffler.

	PolyBronze spring plate bearings have been installed. Spring plates are updated to freshly plated late-style height adjustable type. Fresh rotors are waiting for rebuilt calipers.
	Trailing arms are updated to late-style aluminum to save a few pounds of un-sprung weight. Rear Monoball Cartridges are fitted to trailing arm inner link. Lightweight Sander hollow torsion bars are installed in 28mm size.
	Hollow sway bar is lightweight, has continuous adjustment and matches the front bar. Sway bar mount has been welded with reinforcement to prevent tear out. Car rides on Bilstein sport shocks.
	15x8 Fuchs still need cleaning up. They ride on 100mm lugs to allow precise backspace adjustment using spacers up to 3/4 inch. New wheel bearings are installed.
	The car is officially a roller but is lacking brakes.
