You can also watch wheeler Dealers on you tube they turn the turbo into a track day car.
There's also two top gear episodes with old 944's as part of there challenges available on Netflixs or YouTube.

Spotted on last week's episode of Bob's Burgers, "I Get Psy-chic Out Of You" I knew those guys had class. I reckon those might be 15" Fuchs

Geez, that looks more like an AMC Pacer than a 944!

It's definitely a 924. I saw it last week and shot Sausagehacker a text saying he needed to check it out. Makes sense, there are some pretty detailed cars in Archer too

Agreed, specifically a 2.0 model before they had the spoilers.

These cars have a following and a bit that never quits. They remain one of the best real GT cars on the road.

Just watched the episode (recorded) last night. It's a must-watch for the 944/951 crowd. I'd be curious to hear everyone's impressions of their choices for 'budget' upgrades to turn a street 951 into a "track-day" car. Personally, I thought that the track rims turned out looking kind of cool

Did a Rennlister buy it?
