Rich Griff Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Ah, 911, that didn't occur to me. Porsche used nikasil early on I believe, pictures would still be nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911hillclimber Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 Yes, Porsche developed the nikasil process in the early 70's on the 917 race cars and put it into the production cars soon after, proper development that. Here are a few pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Griff Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Gosh, expensive bit of kit by the looks. You do Shelsley Walsh hill climb at all ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911hillclimber Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 Yes, have done for 31 years, and Loton Park and Prescott. Expensive? Too true, but the car has been very economical to race for the last 5 years since an engine blow-up that cost £4000 in bits alone.... Current engine build will push the envelope somewhat and will be the last incarnation of this little lightweight race car. My recent model aeroplane activity is really good, a very big contrast to the race car in every way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
