I would like to add, in addition to what's been said, that you can clearly see the RENNtech suspension links. Those links, Konis, and stainless brake lines were all very popular RENNtech upgrades. I spoke with Hartmut and all of the upgrades appear legit. RENNtech did one or two 2.5L M111 conversions. Unfortunately, records before 2006 are fairly disorganized.
This car is absolutely nuts! I feel like the last few sentences of the listing were the only ones to convey the appropriate level of excitement here. It would take soooo much time and money to make something like this today. Pic 100 looks like its the Aluminum, high-compression engine, so even the engine choice makes sense.
Great looking car. Interesting without the rear decklid spoiler. One other thing about the DOHC heads leaking is that there were many parts and sealing surfaces. They are not just a head and valve cover. I would also agree that the SOHC motor is the more practical choice, but I can't help but wonder about where those 4V heads ended up.
These widebodies were done by Johan when he worked at Rt. You can see some pictures of the process on his website, jrdtuning.com
Really excited to see where this goes!
