A quick update on the little (very) progress I'm making. (I've been spending most of my time on my track car and developing my driving skills. I'm now a MSF Level 2 certified instructor and headed to NASA comp school in March.)

I've purchased and received all the suspension busing upgrades, plus a couple seats. Front bushings are in, Monoball for the control arm and caster block bushings, and delrin for the sway bar bushings.





Replaced the wheel bearings and new discs and pads while I was there.

And the seats (inserts can/will be recovered as the build evolves)



That is it for now. I hope to make more progress during the off season. But I picked up a 944Spec racer that needs some TLC before next season and have some work to do on my track car (the beige one) to prepare it for endurance racing. So, the 951 ranks third in priority.

 

can you elaborate on the suspension mods such as spring rates and torsion bar size? looks like a front coilover conversion?
my 924 will be a very similar build for track/street. I have 250lb front springs, 28mm rear torsion bars, and 30/19mm sway bars

 

No problem. It has 400# springs on the front, 30mm torsion bars in the rear and both front and rear sway bars are M030 (forgot what those measurements are). My NA track car has the same set up except 440# springs.

 

Cool thanks!

 

i think you will be ok with that setup for the street. I have the same spring rates, slightly different sways. I would say it’s barely tolerable for the street, especially if your roads aren’t silky smooth.

 

Great thanks for the message. I’m literally on the verge of being able to drive the car after 2 yrs.
my scope creep has occurred. Initially it was going to be street car. Then a little track mixed in. Now maybe more track than street…

 

Oh, I tracked that same configuration too. It’s quite good. Lots of fun.
