Default Shiny and clean!
When I found my car I loved everything about it except the color. White didn't really do it for me. I always loved red and darker colored cars that would really shine. I really didn't think that white cars looked all that great.

Well, the color has grown on me. And after 3 years of ownership I have done a great deal of cleaning and a little polishing of the original paint. How did I do?

Looks great! What boost are you running with your Vitesse chips and MBC? any estimate on power output? I haven't had a chance to run my car yet since I've installed my new stuff! Car look beautiful BTW!

The sounds coming from the pipes of that 993 sure sounded a heck of a lot better than the sounds coming from the pipes on the driver!

14psi. No idea on the power output. 240ish rwhp maybe?

I've always loved white 951's myself. My first 944 was white and it just showed all the contours so nice and had a no frills look about it. I've seen enough red and black 951's to gag a maggot. I nearly teared up when I sold it to a Spec racer and saw it for the last time...I loved that car!

Nothing too exciting about the motor. I would love to powder coat the cam tower someday.

That very thought has kept me from selling this one. I might do it for a 993 or 964 cab someday though!

I think it looks fantastic, white is one of the best colors on 944's IMO.

You mean like a 968 spoiler? That would look pretty cool along with 968 mirrors and door handles. Still debating if I want different rims or not.

Steve,

Looks like you could eat off that engine bay. Really clean!
