It was bought in 1982 by the Archambeaud family from the first owner, to remind them of the 1960s/70s when they had created the racing team ” Archambeaud Racing “, responsible for running numerous cars including Gordini, Renault prototypes, Lola T70 and 212, Porsche Carrera 6 and 911… Long-term maintenance by Porsche specialists.Īuction Source: 2015 Amelia Island by RM Sotheby’sġ971 Porsche 911 2,2L S 9111300566.The Porsche 911 S on offer has a wonderful history. Documented by its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. One of the most desirable early 911 models. One peculiarity of the 911 S was its lack of choke which required accelerator pumping for cold starts was usually enough for starting.Ĭhassis upgrades included a rear anti-roll bar, Koni shocks and ventilated discs which replaced the standard solid rotors. For the S, special gear ratios were installed in the five-speed transmission including an overdrive in 5th gear. Porsche fitted an ignition cutout that interrupted spark to the plugs near maximum rpm. This resulted in 30 more horsepower for a total 180 horsepower and torque slightly improved.
Specific to the S model’s engine was a re-profiled camshaft, larger valves, better porting, higher compression and larger jets for the Weber carburetors. This further improved the performance credentials of the model which already had Fuchs light alloy wheels and bigger brakes.

No matter which MCS system you choose, you can expect to achieve faster lap times, better tire wear, and a system that will grow with you as both driver and car progress.Along with all the C-series improvements to the 911 line, the 1970 Porsche 911 S was upgraded to include a 180 bhp version flat-6. MCS has a broad range of damper systems available, ranging from a single adjustable system, to a triple adjustable system with remote reservoirs. Both options utilize a threaded damper body for use with a coil spring if desired. MCS can build the rear shocks in the original eyelet-to-pin configuration or in an eyelet-to-eyelet configuration for use with a clevis mount. With the MCS CNC spindle, you can specify all of the aforementioned as well as specify the brake caliper spacing and spindle thread. With either option, you have the ability to specify spindle height, body length, shaft-end pin configuration, camber spec, and add bump-steer correction. With the gaining popularity of these cars and the shrinking availability of usable donor spindles, MCS developed a brand new, proprietary CNC spindle only available through MCS. Most manufacturers produce inserts to use in the original strut bodies, and some higher-end manufacturers (including MCS) have been re-fabricating the original spindles for use with new strut bodies, a service they still offer today. These systems are available for Porsche 911 G / Porsche 911 (classic), and Porsche 914 models, including but not limited to: Whether you are restoring your Air-Cooled Porsche, have a resto-mod build in the works, or if you race your car, Motion Control Suspension has a solution for you. Damper lengths are carefully designed for your vehicle, with consideration of your wheel and tire configuration, ride height, and goals this ensures you have appropriate bump and droop travel, and not only meet, but exceed your goals. MCS dampers have threaded bodies and can be used with or without coil springs and torsion bars.

Motion Control Suspension offers a full range of damper systems for Air-Cooled Porsches, with the ability to convert your original spindles or build new CNC cut spindles, something only MCS can offer. Our only regret was not upgrading sooner. When we upgraded the dampers on our own G-series 911 hotrod, MCS is what we chose.
