Lockdown has given lots of time to apply multiple coats of polish and wax over the body, in the engine bay and on the wheels. Even the roll cage got coated.....








Dyno done a few weeks ago......240rwhp which I was really pleased about

Finally got around to fitting my Fidanza flywheel. I put a 0.04" washer under the bolts to prevent brinelling the aluminium.
Also I applied Loctite 270 on the reference sensor screw and adjusted it according to the specs (0.031").
The Fidanza flywheel is smaller, so this screw comes out 0.43" instead of 0.2" of the OEM flywheel.

I think I mentioned it before but my Spec alum FW was the same, much smaller OD, so I had to get a 25mm long set screw to set the height correct and have sufficient thread engagement I was comfortable (with loctite too).

@Carrera RSR what sort of intake manifold is that?
I don't think I've seen one of those on a 931 before.

@V2Rocket I had it custom made for my car. I wanted a GTS manifold but at the time they were not available. So we improvised with what we had. An S2 intake manifold and boost tube was 'cut and shut' and we tried to make it look factory.

Finally got around to installing injector connectors and strut bar. Even though wires looked ok on the outside, all my injector wires under the boots looked damaged like this. The would have broken after a few more removals. Got them off ebay 6 months ago.

I have to buy air dremel tool to really fit all together. I think it should work well, donor jag was supeecharged 4.5 or 4.7 so cfm shoud suffice. I'll use stock ic modified to water/air and add one in place of ac exchanger.

I paid about $200 for this one too bad you havent sold it to me.
