Did you have to deleate the A/C to make room for the Supercharger? Also about what kind of HP gains did you get from the setup you put in.
Oh and thanks for sharing the pics. They look great.

Super nice!!!
I love the look of both the black with green and the orange, stunning cars!!
What suspension mods were done to the orange car to get it sitting that low? I love the stance of it, very aggressive! If you can spare the time to explain what was done I would very much appreciate it. Might same me a few hours new weekend

Well the A/C never worked in the car, so it was a great day to finally be able to remove the entire system from the car. I have seen one or two people using the same supercharger and keep the A/C compressor, but the mounting of everything was very strange.
As for HP, I am not really sure what the car is capable of producing because I never had it tuned correctly before it started having major problems.... but I would say once its built I am guessing around 220-250 HP and TQ. If you think about it, its going to be using 951 internals, and on 13psi, so roughly the same as a 951 with some basic HP upgrades.
The one advantage of the supercharger is not having the turbo lag. As soon as I step on the throttle the needle spikes at 13psi. Its pretty sweeeeet

The orange car is riding on A-1 Racing front coilovers and springs with Bilstein HD strut inserts, and Bilstein Escort rear coilovers with H&R springs... I believe 350# front and 500# rear (Torsion bars deleted). If I get the chance I will eventually just do full Bilstein Escort coilovers on the front too... which is what my black car has front and rear. Rides much nicer.
With a set of coilovers all you have to do is just lower the car down to where you want it, and just make sure the shock is going to be safe and not bottom out. With the car being that low really chips away at the good handling characteristics, but its great for drifting and it looks pretty ridiculous. It can also wear out the control arm ball joints pretty bad. Mine seem to be holding up fine so far.

decided to update with a picture I recently edited for fun. It just looks neat without all the background color, haha.
There should be some nice new shots coming very soon!

New owner of it sold it to someone else who lived 3 hours away, for $1100
Then the 2nd new owner moved to go to college near where I live.
Then crashed the front of it into a light pole.
Then I bought it back for $500.
Soon to be parted out!

recent picture of red and black 951's at one of our 944 meet & greets
Beige 951 on the white wheels (white wheels becoming the new ***** wheels)
also picked up a decent running condition black 85.5 for $600, fixed it up and sold it to a buddy for $1k.
Current parts car. I am almost done parting this thing out! Can't wait to finally get rid of it.
picked up a non-running 87 924S for $500. Not really sure whether to part it out or sell it or what. It's got a nice interior but it's automatic... :/

Sorry if you already stated this somewhere, but what kind of wheels are the white ones? Also, is the rear bumper on your first 86 n/a shaved...and maybe compressed? It just looks shaved, but it doesn't look as protruding from the back like it would with bumper pads.

As for the sand rail... The frame appears to be custom built in the late 70's, and all the parts on it are from a mid 70's beetle. The motor is a 1600cc dual-port with a regular 4-speed gearbox. It's been titled as a '68 and it's totally street legal! It's awfully slow but still tons of fun to drive.
And when I bought it the previous owner (also a 944 guy) put 5x130 wheel adaptors on it with some cookie cutters and 944 seat belts.
So, for fun I decided to mount the largest, widest wheels I had. They are 18x10 front and rear twists.... and I don't have to worry about fender clearance
It goes through the mud much better with those BFG All-Terrains though.
