This 912-6 gets some much needed suspension improvements and rough alignment before it leaves the country on a boat! The rear torsion bars are 23mm and I added mounts for any sway bar. Thanks for watching this quick video series. I can't wait to get my own 3.2 up and running in Mac.
I'm loving this head light when working under the car:

Thanks for watching this 912 project. For those of you who might do a 912 swap I hope to document this process in a blog format on Ahhgaragetime.com when I get a chance. I have every part number and electrical diagrams for this swap all ready to go. Give me a month to write it up, ha ha. I'm busy, and I have another huge announcement coming very soon. In the meantime hit the thumbs up button!

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

Thank you Benji. I'm guessing this will be a rare car in Manila! Enjoy🙂

@@GarageTimeAutoResto tom, there are a lot of air cooled porsches here in manila, a lot of which are hidden in garages and rarely get driven. i know of one swb 912/6 but i have no idea if it has a 3.2 engine in it. thanks again and i'm sure that this car will bring a lot of smiles in my face!

That was a great project. You did an Incredible amount of work to that car in just two months. It is going to do everything better now. Well done.

I really enjoyed this series. Not all of them need to be restored to perfection. Some just need to be enjoyed. And this one can surely be enjoyed. Great work Tom.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

Thanks! This is a fun car as is for sure. Lots of patina and character that just feels right. You can't tell, but it smells like a 911! Whereas my car does not!

@jeffharrison5265 2 года назад

Great conclusion to the project Tom. Always helpful to climb some of the learning curve before your own car/engine. Looking forward to your engine install and upgrade projects. Surprising how much is applicable to my V12 project. Cheers.

Definitely a heat shield. Great work, jealous of how quick/easy you made that rear swaybar install seem.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

Thanks! The strings help, ha ha. Actually the lift makes this job way easier

@@GarageTimeAutoResto I have a quickjack because my ceiling height is so limited..... that said.... now that this car is out of there, clean out the garage and use a wagner power painter and spray that thing white! Idk how you work in such a dark environment.

That's a pretty cool setup. I have never seen how those work.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

What do you mean the torsion bar setup? Low center of gravity, full adjustable toe and camber.

@asicerik 2 года назад

@@GarageTimeAutoResto Yes! Crazy stuff

@marklangren3142 2 года назад

Leave your car as a 3.2 liter, get higher compression pistons, have ollie do the heads and case. Heads and case could cost you 5K for porting and polishing of the heads and knife edging the case. The latter was worth approximately 12 Hp in my 2.8 ltr. My race 2.8 would pull with the 3.5 ltr cars. If you want to make your car drive like a V8 go to the 3.5 ltr motor. Lots of torque but is not meant to be turned up. As I remember they were limited to7 or 7.5 k, I was normally turning my 2.8 ltr 9k

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

Cool, I don't need the fastest 911 on the planet that goes to 9k. I'm perfectly content with 7k. I also need to work on better car control! So much to do!

@Vintageguy73 2 года назад

My 911T came with a 19mm rear bar

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

Front and rear? Option from the factory?

@GroupWar 2 года назад

Great video, that would inspire me to put back the rear sway bar for my 930, its been without one for quite long time ...

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

Man get that back in there and do some slaloms

@martinhoward1802 2 года назад

Very inspiring once again. The height when determining ride height of the suspension. What might be the difference be between Euro height and North American height.. Really looking forward to the build of your 3.2 engine. and BTW, how many hours did this job finally take?

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

Thanks Martin, I'm not sure what the difference in height is to be honest. This car is closer to euro height for sure. The US height is silly, ha ha. Thanks so much for watching. About 90 hours plus minus a few.

I read that the French company that bought Weltmeister quit making sports car bars and started making them for pickup trucks. Is yours for a truck? I have a Weltmeister for the front my 914 but haven’t put it on yet. My 944 came with the optional M030 M27 front sway bar.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

No this one is for 911. Apparently they only come in one size. Hopefully I can drive it today and report back. They were popular back in the day for track cars.

@iancarpenter2334 2 года назад

oops ... bad gramer .....EDIT... compare the " wheel rate" of the front torsion bars at 19mm dia. with 110 lbs per inch and the rear T bar @ 23mm dia. with 105 to 110 lbs . per inch These are almost identical spring rates for the front and rear . A well balanced car would have front and rear bars that are much closer in size . For example I like 19mm front and 19mm rear sway bars for most 911 street cars . Older long hood cars might have 15 mm front ...17mm rear .....or 13mm--15mm bars It is important for the sway bars to augment the suspension not overpower it . Just my thoughts ,,, Ian

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

Good info here! Thanks Ian

@marklangren3142 2 года назад

If I remember correctly it was 19 mm bar front and rear

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

In a long hood car?

@cjsawinski Год назад

You said the front is normally about 1/2” higher than the rear? I’ve wanted to adjust mine by lowering the front to get a little rake on mine, is that not a good idea for how the torsion suspension works? I thought it would be good for weight balancing (moving a little weight forward), and I like the look of a little rake…

@GarageTimeAutoResto Год назад

1/2" as measured from the fender lips. That does give a sloped down rake relative to the door sill. Positive rake or lower in the front is good. If you lower the front too much it will create bump steer and run out of suspension travel. It might be better to raise the rear?

@cjsawinski Год назад

@@GarageTimeAutoResto Yup I was concerned about the mentioned issues with lower front ride height. I’ll have to measure, and for now I’m not to worried as the suspension needs a thorough refresh (the car has been sitting for about 30 years lol)… Thanks for the feedback!
