Theres not much of the original 931 left, lol. Make a stock looking 931, but super beef up the engine. That would be hecka sweet.

Nice car but body needs a lot of attention.

Few tips regarding more power.

1. Convert to EFI. It will result much better power, driveability, reliability and better gas mileage (yes, it's important). If I see correctly, you already have intercooler, then upping the boost to 1 bar will be very ok with EFI.

2. Bigger downpipe and straight thru muffler.

It’s only an n/a Z in the background. My dad is painting the rear of that car for a friend of his...

Yeah the PO put and intercooler...although it’s not the massive. Don’t know if I would benefit from a 951 intercooler?

Regarding the exhaust and EFI...gotta finish the bodywork first...lol....im exited about this project. Keep in mind that I am not doing this project by myself....it’s actually a team consisting of 6 people (my uncle, grandpa, father, and 2 brothers)...so the progress should be noticeable within the next 2 weeks...ill keep posting pics

Get rid of that ricey rear end body work and rockers and throw some Carrera GT flares and a euro bumper on the back. That would definately improve its looks.
