Wow. How did that thing make it to this millennium without being destroyed like most of them? My 924S came to me without one. I paid $150.00 for one off E-Bay and it looks like it was driven over or something. I had previously contacted a shop I know about making one, but they told me they couldn't make anything to their standard for less than $1000.00. In my case I wouldn't need a concourse reproduction. Just something functional. I would think a large pan-brake and louver punch would do it, which most classic hot-rod shops should have.

 

I see them out there for sale (@100-150) but shipping is probably at least that. Mine didn't look that great until I had it bead blasted, then a couple hours spent with a couple of body-shaping hammers.

 

That pan looks amazing. My car didn't have one when I got it so I guess that has to go on my list. What horns are those?

 

One of three non-OEM items on my car: FIAMM 795/840hz Dual Air Horns. They replicate the distinctive sound of Ferrari during the 70-80's. Correct horns are safely nestled in a box (basement).

 

The reverse bend on the louvers in the belly pan is due to a Porsche tech bulletin AFAIK. My belly pan is a good one, and has the same deal. Something about the airflow inside the pan required the "reverse louver" . there was some discussion about it on here, about 6-7 years ago, perhaps a search could shed some light on it. Just sayin..

 

Yeah, I think that the louver alteration was recommended to increase cool air flow to the passenger side motor mount. It is right under the exhaust header and subject to premature failure due to constant heat soak.

 

Love the air horns.

 

Thx - Me too, they're just annoying enough to satisfy the "Jersey" in me...

 

I just thought I would confirm here before hunting for a belly pan for my 84. Early cars have the large aluminum pan like this one? And 85.5 and on have the square plastic tray? I may be able to get one locally and I just want to confirm I'm looking for and buying the right one for my 84. Thx
