Really dumb off topic question but, if that is your bride in your avatar why the heck are you wasting time messing with old P-cars? If she is your daughter then I understand.
Oh yea, your recommendation for rotating my Hoosiers with the wheels I bought from you about 3 years ago was fantastic. I am just now down to the wear indicators, but the wear is so even I think there might be one more event in them although they have lost a little grip.

 

No, just a photo op at Barber

If you are still running the same tires after three years, you need to either drive more, or drive harder

 

Is it appropriate on this forum to say screw-u?
u can tell by the my avatar pic they ain't the only tyres I use. Seriously, between me and the kiddo they probably have at least 10 DE events on them.

 

Thanks.

I am aware that for the supercharger installation the headlight linkage and stock hood latch must go. I will the former by adding a headlight motor to the driver's side headlight and the latter by using hood pins/latches.

I was just wondering whether there are other modification that will be necessary. e.g. redoing placement of the radiator? Will the stock NA transmission be up to the job?

Will address potential overheating prophylacticially by adding hood vents.

So no relationship/nexus with having that huge spoiler at the rear and an intercooled blower up front? Just kidding (I must have that blower too).

P.S. What is "exclusiv xd4"?

 

Since your car is an '86, it will have the smaller radiator and you will likely want to get a used one from a 951 or 968. They are the same width and depth, but are about 1.5" taller. I simple cut the radiator support and welded some metal to make it fit. If you do this, then you need to get the longer "lower radiator hose" from the 951/968.

Overheating may not be an issue if you are planning on using this as a street car. My overheating issue likely came from doing a front mount IC and not having it ducted properly. Air was just flowing around the IC/radiator instead of through it.

 

just an option code. its in my sig because when i first saw it when i bought the car i thought "wow what a cool sounding exotic option i must have!" turns out its for painted wheels. (which have long since been taken off the car by the PO...)

so im just making fun of myself...

 

and sorry i just moved here about 2 months ago and have seen nary a p-car so i was excited! Do you drive your car very much?

 

Thanks.

Have you considered installing a standalone engine management system?

 

Depends. At the moment I am in Germany.

I certainly can't recall having ever seen a 968 in Thomasville.

Yes, but I need to first recover from the financial hit of building the car.

 

The car keeps getting more polished and complete each time I see it. Are you running it this weekend in the charity event?

 

Yes, I'll be racing at Barber this weekend, come out and hang with us. Enduro is Sat at 2 and Sunday there are two 30 minute sprints at 10:30 and 12:30.

 

First weekend racing the car is complete; 2 out of 3 ain't bad That is, I won my class in the enduro and the first sprint race on Sunday morning. I had a very good lead in my class in the afternoon sprint but the SC pulley belt starting slipping badly and I lost boost. The belt was slipping enough that it was producing smoke, so instead of having it snap, and potentially take out the timing belt, I called it quits. The issue with the belt was really my fault, I told myself to tighten it on Sunday but was busy running a fundraiser (Accelerating a Cancer Cure) at the event and just didn't have time.

On Saturday I was wrestling the car under hard braking as I just could not dial enough rear brake out of the car. I was running DTC 70's/60's Front/Rear. Running Turbo S calipers in front and 968 front calipers in the rear. On Sunday I put in a set of street pads and braking was great

Will get some video posted this week.
