Default Hockeydude Finally Got a 951

As of tonight I am officially the proud new owner of this ’87 951. I was fortunate enough to get it from my good friend, Auto_Werks 3.6, who decided to sell it in order to focus on some other Porsche goodies...

Anyway, I have been fond of this car ever since Ryan sold me his 2.7L NA over 3 years ago. Since then, I have "helped" (mostly just watching) him install a Tial Wastegate, Lindsey 3” exhaust, Accuboost controller, LEDA coilovers (450# rears) as well as some other goodies.

While I’ve been away at school he has also put in a 3bar FPR, a MAX951 chip, and just completed new belts and H20pump for me, as well as a ton of other maintenance and go-fast goodies! I believe that he was usually running around 14-16 PSI, but I will probably that down a tad in order to get used to the new power! Haha

I am just so happy that I was finally able to purchase a 951, and am very greatful to get one that I have been under for multiple hours and know was well taken care of! It was well worth the wait!
Anyway, here are some pics of it sitting in my garage with Polished Clubsports on it, and a couple from our trip to the Hershey meet last year. More pics to come!

Thanks guys! I was hoping to give you guys some nice int. pics, but my camera died. haha!

Wheels are (and i always get this wrong) Fiske's i think... Club Sports were more my style, though.

Nice! reminds me of my car (also a black '87 turbo), but mine isn't modded and I don't think its as clean. Close, but not like yours. That's a good buy.

Just curious... What's with the offset in the rear? Looks a little pigeon-toed to me. Perspective maybe?
