917 PORSCHE on the Road in Norway

reason why it is displaced, I see that the connections are there. oh, it's on the right, okay, so if you look at what you have, is it a replica, a copy or a small model of car, if this one is in the center, they don't have the full picture, so let me ask you, you you built Is there anything you would do again and do something differently? I could do it again now the number of hours like I said nine ten thousand hours is manufacturing well because you want everything if you look at the wiper it looks standard where is it? the windshield wiper from the 356.

Well, that's exactly the original. You take two wipers from the 356, cut them into pieces and weld them back together and voila, this is the wiper from the 917, so the power of Porsche engineering reuse and repurpose it. there is something done differently the second time, well we start with a frame that is the right dimension yes but we are in normal carbon steel we would do it in carbon Molly it's okay everyone comes especially if you talk with enthusiasts, they say to you, oh you. I need to make it in aluminum, but the reason you don't make it in aluminum is because they will break and if you look at the original card, the suspension will be very soft and the reason they were very soft, yes, otherwise. they break the frameSo if you made a second one, would you put a 12 cylinder in it?

Yeah okay, for such a law abiding Norwegian citizen you really are a real outlaw thank you so to be a legal car on the

road

you have to go through quite a lot of steps to get in help having a hub of quick release on the old Momo protipo so tell me about the neutral start procedure G50 yes what am I doing turning the key if you see all the buttons yes they are completely there? okay and that's exactly what it was originally so it's on yeah if you take them off except the one that's the light switch the light switch is okay so you turn off the air on the ignition yeah , and then you press the button, so this is the key to happiness, but you actually have to press the home button.

What do you mean you allowed technology to be put at the center? They wanted me to see the entire speedometer. Oh, and if you put it to the side, you don't just see the woman. Don't just look at the top, this Speedo reaches 400 kilometers, what's the fastest you've ever gone? About 240. That's pretty fast on the track, of course, I have my respect for the canoe that made his dream come true, the 917 Road Cup. at home for 10 years and 10,000 hours, he never gave up, no matter how difficult the bill became. Now I know this car is not a real 917 built by Porcerin Stuttgart or Zoofenhausen in the factory, but it is the best option I have.

Driving a real one, so the pressure is a little less and I tell myself it's like a 9146 on steroids with a body kit, naturally, although I realize that the canoe has been built a faithful recreation up to the last millimeter and now it enters. It takes a bit of practice and a few stretches beforehand would have been helpful, but once inside it's tight and the relaxed seating position with arms and legs fully extended is strange to say the least, especially as nothing is adjustable, but of course Somehow it's not so uncomfortable. The pedal box fits my size 11 and a half Nikes perfectly.

Somehow I managed to get it working, but healing the left toe fracture is admittedly a bit tricky and shifting gears through the G50 errors is really finicky, no doubt due to the fact that I have two extra feet of rod linkage of change that goes to the rear, although the biggest difference is the lack of 12 cylinders to circulate legally in the land of the Vikings. Knute had to go with the custom Flat 6 Twin Turbo, which obviously doesn't sound like a flat 12 but gets the job done. I haven't asked you this, when did you start construction and when did you finish construction?

So construction started in 2013-14, okay, but again we started with something. otherwise we've thrown it out in terms of what's left and the bill started in 1516. Oh, when did you finish it last year, a year ago? Okay, and how many miles have you put on it since you'll see when you see the Rev. contract and you've tracked it down yeah, okay, tell me about the wheel and tire setup what size are the rims what size are the tires what are the brakes and what the suspension is, so for this car we have slightly different wheels and tires and so on because it also has to do with

road

approvals, but on the front, the original had a 15 inch diameter wheel, 11 inches wide, okay, 23 and a half inches, yes, the radius in the back was 16.2, but 16.2 is more like 440 millimeters. or 16.2 inches uh it's 60 26 and a half tall so it's bigger on the top back but the same 15 inch wheel is okay so it's okay so it's 15 all around , yes, you are running central records, talk to What is stopping this car?

What are the brakes? What is the suspension? So there are still brakes available, which are the same Girling brakes that they used in the past. We have some space problems with or whatever it's called. For road legal purposes we are using AP Racing brakes because they are the only ones that fit without a custom or shop available brake caliper, no they are off the shelf calipers but if you take what you call two sheets of paper, that is. exactly what's going on between the clear, yeah, so the clearance is, so how do you balance the wheel if you don't have clearance?

So if the weight needs to go on the back of the caliper and when you put the wheel on the car, you need to have the weights on the other side of the caliper so it fits and then you can turn it afterwards, okay, okay, and The suspension is the same as the Porsche. We've changed the pickup point in terms of what you've changed is okay, so Porsche made a setup that's on the plans, okay, but all the Goof cars have made some changes. Forward visibility is good through the curved windshield. It just takes some time to get used to where the front nose ends. in front of my feet, something that in the past always worried drivers in the event of an accident, real visibility, on the other hand, is non-existent and it is difficult to calculate how wide the 917 is on these narrow Norwegian roads in a few minutes. miles in some tunnels so I started to get used to driving this strange feeling and rhythm of driving a 917 on the highway and I imagine what it would be like to drive one of these at high speed in Anger for 24 hours and I often listened to Derrick Bell and Vic Alpha talks about growing at 240 miles an hour in shopping malls in a straight line in the dark at night in Lamont.

I never saw such speeds in my seat time, although times were different 50 years ago. I felt somewhat comfortable inside this very loud and hot Cocoon. cabin and managed to cover over 300 kilometers on some stunning and unforgettable roads through some epic tunnels along some stunning fjords and almost snow-capped mountains. Savor every emotion and change every engine. The familiar turbo is on its way to something you would look forward to. spending the whole day in a Norwegian sauna and cooling off in the fjord to ease my body ache while my ears were ringing from the experience, it swirled inside my head, my body quickly as if I was still in the car and the sunlight turned into midnight dust, thank you.
