Well here are some pics I'd thought I'd share.

I took a lot of pictures during my belts/rollers/water pump replacement. And also during a friends rear brake pads/rotors replacement. There is no write up on these yet. It will probably be a while before that happens.
But the point is so that I could have nice high-res images for the next time I or someone else did those jobs.

The belts/water pump were done on my 1991 944S2.

The rear brake pads/rotors replacement was done on a 1993 968.

And these are just some misc cool pics.

The white Carrera GT is a replica that was just completed. The silver 944 is an 88 Turbo and then my 91 S2. The black 911 has no engine in it, so that's why it looks like it has a lift kit on it. And the red 911 has, I think a pretty good size turbo on it.

That's pretty much it for now.

Enjoy.

I noticed you used the other water outlet on your s2 (the black plastic outlet), where does that go to on an s2? I know for my 951 it heads to the turbo...

Raceit

The angle piece off the water pump? That hose runs across the top of the radiator to the resivor tank. Not sure what exact purpose it serves though.

Looks like you got the wrong chin spoiler, and you forgot to make the windshield flush. Nice otherwise, though. Did you have that IC custom-fabbed?

BTW, you may wish to consider replacing the strut mounts on that 931, they look pretty worn from here... might handle and ride a little better...

Raceit

Oh the 931 isn't mine. I doubt anything is worn. It was just built to euro spec for that car. Plus nothing really fit right anyways since they never made their way over here to the states. Made just for racing.

Steve,
It was a good time by all. Thanks for coming by the shop! 924racr, Everything on this car was purchased through Europe and is correct to the 937 and 939. The front bumper, lights, deco, intercooler and more are all correct for the car. The difference of color makes the lower slats more or less visible. Here is a picture of one for sale currently in Europe and is the real deal. Everything was ordered for this car from England which has a rather large registry. One of the gents is a personal friend of mine. That being said the car has a very interesting history, past car of Jim Pasha. The car is fitted with Koni adjustable, and bars the size of my arm. They are in great shape as the whole car has been redone. It has collected awards from to many AutoX to list. There are a lot of knock off kits available. Most are incorrect. The only thing I am waiting on is the side indicators. They are NLA from Porsche as well as most of the other pieces. I have secured them however for a complete car.

PorschePhD

BTW none of the GTs had flush trim. That was not introduced until the GT was long out of production. The 939 used Lexan windows and therefore were flush, but that was not technically a road car.

THat white Carrera GTS in your pictures is actually a real one by the look of under the hood. God i sure would want one of those

Nah, not quite, the white car has what appears to be a GTR front end - though it looks quite nice. Shame that headlight cover is crooked. Obviously the GT had the pop-ups. The red car pic above is quite nice, shows the correct front end - styled like the 944, but of course w/ Euro bumper style. Yes, there are a handful of real 937's in the States. The GT's do have flush windshields. Not trim, like the 944; the windshield sits higher. But you have to see them to understand.

The intercooler shown on that white car isn't exactly original, though it was a nice job of fabbing up one to work as the original did. I'm no concours freak. I like to see people being innovative - where was the core sourced? I heard the TT RX7 had a good one. Beats hogging out the front of the nose for a 951 IC like the GTS.

You can refer to a number of pics of original GT's here:

By the 939, I assume you mean to refer to the GTS? Not quite correct, all GT/GTS/GTR were 937's, hence much confusion. 939 and so on were internal factory project #'s used to refer to the projects, but there was never a complete 939 or such car. Therefore there is no such thing as a "939" - the GTS's and GTR's were 937's (check the VIN) with parts added on.

Just trying to flush out the confusion that always arises...

PS - apologies that a lot of info on the page I linked above is incomplete. I have a lot more info and pics of GTS's and GTR's to add, just haven't found time between all the toys to write!

These should whet your appetite

wow...the carrera GT replica is really nice! where did that shift **** come from? looks sweet.

also you waterpump pics looked pretty sweet, i just had mine done too..

PorschePhD

You are correct about the 939 being an internal number and not a "real" production or vin number, however you can order "939" part numbers. For instance the part number of the head gasket I am using is 939 104 337 00. The original head gasket is 931 104 337 03. Like many this is a very skewed and misunderstood way of describing cars. The 965 is an on going debate. As always room for confusion from the masses. The intercooler was fabbed up and I have recently found an original that is on the way. If you investigate even more the hood scoop is not correct and the ducting to the scoop. Dead give away. Now what else should be known is the GT was never a standard color in white. The prototype, racers and special ordered cars were available in white. The standard colors are red, silver and black. The bulk of them are in red. Even the piping that was fitted on the hood scoop and the flares were body colored. The other dead give away is the interior. Once again while ordered "Special wishes" anything was available the standard for the 937 was a business suit black interior with red piping. The material is NLA and not available anywhere. If it was I would have changed the car to silver which is my favorite and done the interior in the correct material. The 937s did not come with clear headlights nor the GTS front nose, but once again available if you custom ordered through the program. One thing I can't get anyone to confirm is the why the black bar across the headlight cover. I researched and no one is really clear why. It is present on mine as it was in every reference I could find. The shifter is a product we have made for us. Mine was engraved with "924" I also did the "carrera gt" sills. LOL, the headlight I will fix and repost pictures.

924RACR

Yep. I suspect the black bar was to do with headlight output, to make it legal for the street - block off an offending (legislative) part of the beam. Just my guess.

I'll have to take a closer look at that shifter...
