At the request of JoshB, Aribop, and 75ohm, here are some pics of the new car.

 

Looks good
will this be powered by a turbo motor

 

Check his sig

 

Of course it will! The car is going to be impractical for the street, but will be street legal (yes, I'll pad the cage so as not to hurt my head). I'd like to be able to drive it to lapping days at Barber and Road Atlanta. I am building it more for the fun of it rather than to make a competitive racer. I'm just not that competitive. The color is Speedgelb (Speed Yellow) and was sprayed by me in my shop. It a Nason Acrylic Enamel and went on pretty well. In fact, all the work on this car will be done by me, including knifing the crank (already done), the entire cage, aluminum torque tube, custom sways, etc. I am debating whether to relocate the turbo to the passenger side of the engine where it should be, requiring a new manifold. Can't be too hard to build an exhaust manifold from scratch could it?! You get the idea. Now that I have a solid platform, I am going to try and come up with a lot of unique ways of building this car that are financial feasible and practical. I will not pay big money for things that I can make with the tools I have access too. It may take a while longer, but will be worth it in the end. Engine will be standalone Tec 2. Standard bore and stroke for this first iteration. All comments, suggestions, and thoughts are welcome. I know it is yellow which is not for everyone, but at least is is Porsche Yellow!

how'd you make an aluminum torque tube? and what did you use to knife the crank in your garage? lol

 

Hey Chris - looks awesome - love the curve of the roll bar by the door

 

Reads like a book.....

 

That looks awesome, Chris! You will definitely not be missed in that color.

 

Looks like a great start to a fun project!

 

Turbo front end sure would look good on there - need to drum up some more engineering business

 

Will be sending sponsorship info...

 

:drool:

 

Seconding that. I might be a little biased but I love the color...

 

Hell yes! Another yellow 944. We should start a club!

 

Your car looks great! My next car will be yellow (Porsche Summer Yellow is my favorite).
