Default FS- 86 944 race car- Dragon Chumpcar

Sad to say the Dragon needs a new home. Time to move on to spec racing and i cant maintain two race cars. The dragon needs a home so if you are looking for a proven chumpcar or you want a car to do DE's that is fully caged or something to clean up into a nice spec car or track car- this is the one.

1986 944 chassis - odo stopped at 201k awhile ago - i do have a clean title in my name

-motor was recently rebuilt w/ 84 donor
-crank polished-
-new rod/main bearings
-all New gaskets
-late oil pan w/ lindsey baffle and factory crank scraper in pan.
-Has about 49 hours on it now- used less than 1 quart of oil in this weekends 25 hour race. Does have small leak but could not locate.
-kevlar timing belt and brand new rollers
-very nice water pump installed at build but not brand new
-new air filter and just installed
-good alternator installed at last race
-has a/c pump on it but no hoses
-ok cap,rotor- has new lindsey firebraid wires
-idle valve and all emissions removed
-cat removed and muffler replaced w/ cherry bomb and tail pipe- sounds good not too incredibly loud
-NEEDS ALTERNATOR BELT IMMEDIATLY

power steering works and doesnt currently leak- hasnt used any fluid in a long time- i do believe the clip that holds the shaft inside the ps pump may have come off, easy to put back together

-factory suspension- added factory rear sway, 26.5mm front sway
-250lb weltmeister front springs
-new monroe strut inserts
-ball joint and inner/outer tie rods all feel tight and front wheel bearings are new
- rear bearings replaced about a year and a half ago

-trans is factory w/ swepco fluid replaced before the last race- nice short shift kit installed (not schnell)
-axels stock- regreased this year not clicking

interior
-custom rollcage by Mongoose chassis- chumpcar/nasa/pca legal for racing
-new 6pt harness on ds installed this year
-OMP driver's seat, non-reclinable w/ slider- fits our drivers 5'7" to 6'5" so far
-brand new drivers window net installed- nasa/chumpcar and pca legal
-i also have a reclinable passenger omp seat on sliders w/ an expired 5pt belt that can go w/ the car
-momo steering wheel w/ detachable hub
-skull shift ****-gotta have that
-custom center panel w/ switches for headlights high/low beam - fog lights - wiper high/low and aux. switch.
-power cut off switch in center panel- kills motor and battery- legal for chumpcar and maybe pca/nasa-only variation is location.
-all extra wiring deleted, no heat/a/c or blowers
-dash cut across center for knee bar, factory gauges all work
-ebrake still works


-wheels- comes w/
8x early offset 15x7 phone dials w/ used but somewhat good street tires
- 4x ES100 225/50 yokos - one chorded slightly
- the others are 2x Dunlop Direzza star spec 205/50's and
-two are Falken rt512's 225/50 in decent shape.
All are legal for chumpcar or good for street. All wheels are straight and painted key lime green to match lower half of car.

brakes
-factory brake calipers
-braided stainless brake lines this year
-uses super blue race fluid but needs flushed now
-hawk hp+ rear pads - lots of life left
-hawk blue front pads- have about 2/3rds life left
-NEEDS front rotors - bearings replaced before last race
-master cylinder replaced two years ago
-rear rotors ok

body- body is not so great but usable -

- ps quarter is straightest, pretty good
-ds quarter has been pushed in and popped back out and has a dent behind ds door.
-DS door is ok.
-PS door has crease along lower
-DS fender is pretty beat up as well as PS fender which have both been wrecked and fixed about three times.
-windshield replaced w/ crack free one
-sunroof stripped and glued in w/ two metal brakets to secure towards rear
-stock rear hatch
-stock side rear windows
-stock door windows- all regulators removed, windows drop in and have pins to hold them up for transport- doors NOT gutted completely
-hood ok- has early 924 hood rod to hold up
-taillights replaced w/ metal and has trailer lights installed-lenses broken at last race but replacements are cheap at -anywhere
-headlights are stock but motor removed- manual wind up-ps lid currently removed as it came loose during last race
-large removable fog lights mounted to braket that bolts to nose panel- uses factory headlights
-front and rear bumpers have coil springs mounted over shocks so they pop back out in case of small incident- works great- easily removable
-lower valance- chewed up but amazingly nice shape for a race car
-FACTORY GAS TANK 21 gallons - great for endurance racing- stock pump-new filter

The car is an actual race car and does very well at it, and it shows. It is however very stock. Runs great, very much fun and handles amazingly well on track. LIke i said this can be good as is or great w/ some more work. Looking for $2500 obo - can include some spare parts not for sale separately. PM me or call 5132-400-6883

Awww... poor dragon. It's been a fine racing car. Didn't you recently do a head gasket on it?

I'm gonna miss this car, too, but it's time for me to move into NASA time trials next year with the v8 car. Hope someone keeps the car in Chump Car... or maybe even take it back to a Lemons race for revenge! Actually, it is also a really good deal for someone who can do a little body work and make it a spec car.

I heard there was one racing down here already...guess that was it. At a race in Houston I heard they were running laps close to the top dogs.
