The brake ducts are from the group buy last fall, we got them from AIR. 200.00 I think. They were glassed into the stock bumper.
Geo,
I dont have any pics of the interior but will try and get some posted. PCA mandates that we keep the interior stock so it is not that exotic.

Cool to see somebody using a 944 S2 for a race car, mostly 951s out there. Rock on!

Nice, that is some seriously low ground clearance. The bee/hornet looks like the Jordan F1 logo of a few years back, no?

Sweet Eric, I would love to see that. I am located in Crystal Lake about an hour north of chicago. I am attempting to build a track car so I would be interested in seeing it!

Thanks for the compliments. The rims are Fikse (18" Mach 10's) The car is pretty low via Ledas. The yellow splitter (another AIR product) gave its life shortly after the pictures were taken while fighting off another racer. It is now buried in T7 at Putman Park. Going off track with that little ground clearance is not good for splitters. The car races in PCA F class vs. early 944 T, 88-91 911's, 968's and in NASA vs. almost everything (944's, early BMW M3's etc)
Good eye Schumi, That is the "Buzzin Hornet" Benson & Hedges logo of the late 90's Jordon F1 team. I picked up a Jordon F1 pit crew suit this winter and it has the logo on the back, I thought it would make a good graphics package this season.
Dmitry, The S2 is a great race car. Better grunt than the turbos out of the turns and power everywhere. The S2 does very well inF class (in the hands of a good driver!!!)
This car was built by Racers Edge with all of the trick suspension components that Karl sells. I did a little of my own modifications over the winter. This is the second year I am racing the S2, before that I raced a 993. I have much more fun with the S2. believe it or not, on shorter tracks, the S2 is within a .5 seconds of the 993. I dont miss the 993 track car at all.
Derek, Next time you plan on being in the city, let me know and you can check the car out. I will be at the new track in Joliet June 2-4th racing with NASA. Come on down!
