I was on the phone with Dean and he mentioned a project he is involved with. It's a company out of Culver City. They are building 12 912's that are kind of like a 912 Singer. My understanding is they are using Dean's short or long block as a base for the engine. Dean is under the impression they are developing a 4 valve head for the engine. If that comes to fruition I might see if I can get a set for my engine. It also has some kind of 6 speed transmission, carbon fiber wheels, and who knows what else. Dean believes the first 2 have been sold for $750K. I hope so. If that's the case, I'm glad I built the first one. Maybe not to this level but a heck of a nice car for sure.

Some upgrades coming in 2021.
As the car is SWB the rear KW coilovers will look like the rears only picture. Mine will be 2 way not 3 way adjustable. No cylinders and lines. The spring plate replacements (Rebel SWB RSR type) will be black and gold. I'm not sure which front suspension I'll go with. One is Rebel and one Elephant. Has anyone used either?

This is just tacked together at the moment. A custom bracket integrated with a small drip tray is in the works. This is on Doug's 69 912 POLO. A second one will be built for my car. As mentioned before the car will operate mostly on the passenger side front oil cooler tell 200F then open up to the drivers side cooler.
Currently on my car with a second front cooler I can't get the oil over 185 to 190F no matter how hard I drive even on a 100 degree day. Crazy as it sounds, I'm trying to up the oil temp by 10 to 20 degrees to around 200 to 210F.

I'm working on getting this Golden Green 911E Targa done for Doug's (nvr2mny) summer driving season. Then it's on to his 2.7 912 POLO car and updates on mine for the summer driving season.

I wonder who turned page 100,000. I'm glad to see others find the car interesting. I certainly find many of the other cars on this site interesting myself.

While I'm finishing the Green Targa, metal work is progressing on the 69 POLO car. The tubing will go from yellow to clear Zinc. The Mocal thermostat is their high temp model. They have a 180 degree one then this 200 degree model. It will keep most of the oil flowing to the passenger side cooler tell 200 degrees, then open and run oil through both coolers. I like the idea of cooler temperature oil opening up in sequence not all at once from the Carrera cooler through both front coolers. The smugglers box has forward facing pins that slide into the hinge bolt holes so you can slide it in and out then lock it down.

This RSR inspired me to develop the aluminum skin over the oil lines. I was able to follow this car while it was restored. Here's another nice one.

I hope to have Doug's 69 911E Targa done in time for his Spring and Summer driving season. After that it's back to what I really enjoy. Building and working on POLO cars. The beauty of these cars is, if the owner and I think it's correct, it's CORRECT. There is no arguing about spec as I get to create the spec. It's very liberating.

Out for a little fresh air. Hopefully out on the road soon.
