EDITED

The other white car in the photo is #105, the EPA durability car, to test the larger turbo. See post 45 for the Excellence article on that car (which actually has the VIN number in the article!).

Don't know which the red one is.

I'm sure they are just some European aftermarket mirrors, or perhaps mirrors off another European car. The parts have "race" part numbers from Porsche:

477.857.521.D RAC
477.857.522.D RAC

Thanks Paul - I recall hearing that they were from Volkwagen but I like your answer - I'll check it out.

944CS

they are 924 mirrors, which are vw/audi parts

The heavily modified #105 is apparently for sale:

Paul,
I came across a white 1986 951 some years back that had bolt holes for a roll cage and the chassis had no undercoating. I figured it must have been ordered as a race car from the factory but couldn't substantiate it. I'll call the guy who owned it and see if he still does. I understand you've found the cars you've been looking for.

Yeah, we located all nine 1987 Turbo Cup cars. https://rennlist.com/forums/showpost...&postcount=163

As for the 1986 you're talking about, if the owner gets the Porsche "certificate of authenticity" ($100 or so) it would certainly state if the car was a factory race car.

Here's a detailed site on the cars, listing some VIN numbers, you might see if this guy's car is close in number to any of these

Great thread

I love the info on these cars..

I was wondering, can you take a photo of an abs switch?

I am planning to abs my car when I'll start on my project, and I want it to be switchable and if possible use the same switch as it was on turbo cups.

centerpunch

It's a Bosch pull switch, don't know where you'd get one. That little ABS dymo label is original also.

(The silver thing below is a battery cutoff- a pull cable goes from this to a cutoff next to the battery).

eh too bad I tought abs switch is one of the normal switches infront of the shift boot.. I want my radio where it is

it fits too nice :P



btw: do you happen to know wich wire does the abs switch cut? and when you turn the abs off, is the abs light in instrument panel on?

thanks for the photo

centerpunch

Yes, when you turn abs off, the abs light on the dash goes on.
