2009 trackday season kicks off for 1969 E

[oldtimer]

After a long winter layoff with pumped up tyres and drip feed on battery..the cobwebs needed to be blown away and the new pimped up seats needed to be G tested
So off to Goodwood on FRIDAY 13TH [8|] , with additional challenge of a 98db noise test day [8|] [8|] .... followed straight away by Castle Combe ( 100db ) on Monday 16th March
Car went really well, that seductive early 911 wiggle on the sinuous fast flowing curves of Goodwood , and enough power to go quick enough up Avon Rise to make deceleration for Quarry turn at C C a stiff test of suspension and brakes .
Could have been quicker if the driver was as young as the car , there's still a bit more grip to exploit on the P6000's and the (race spec) 2.4S engine is just magical running up to 7500 - still to find when the limiter steps in [] ...assuming its fitted .....honest mister noise man it only revs to 6000 where that bit of red sticky tape is.
NB length enhancement to the exhaust tip scavenged from Colin Beltons workshop bin - thanks Ninemeister !

Pictures below , the initiated should spot the Combe one !

Aaah John, this reminds me of tracking a '72 911 2.4S (blood orange) a good number of years ago--with a slip diff [][]

 

[oldtimer]

Well Phil , that is a hell of a coincidence, see below ! []

Although my car was built Oct 1968 and is a '69 model year 911E , the engine is not the original 2 litre but is from a 1972 model year 911S , so its a 2.4 with a 915 gearbox and LSD.

The interesting part of this is that this engine came from a drug-runners car - was that you when you were younger ?
[] []

Needless to say it was fully rebuilt before it could be used......

[] My 2.4S was a great car. Was sold via Mark Waring to in 1998 or so, when I bought my first 964RS. Since then it appeared a number of times in PP, but I do not know who owns it.
