Where do people get the aftermarket distributors?

Do you reuse the drive gear?

Weird...did anyone see the TURBO in front of the engine? Usually it is a place for SC.

There's something funky about the picture. The engine sits too far back and is too short front to back. I smell Photoshop.

Actualy that's exactly how the 928 looks like with the radiator, A/C condenser, and fans removed!

Obviously this is still an on going project. I'm sure once its complete there will be a rad.

Why do you say that? Once it's complete this could work really well.

Yah... it's deceiving, because the radiator normally sits just forward of the third fender bolt from the front. I'd like to know where they think they are going to put the radiator. Even this guy left his radiator in:

Keith,

I happen to think it's one helluva project. Not that I would do anything like that to my current car.... but I would love to have a ride in that thing when done! Naturally I'm as curious as anyone about cooling. But it seems to me that this project has in general been better received than some? Anyway, I agree... Kudos to whoever it is for pushing the envelope.

H, that car was up for sale in Hawaii not too long ago IIRC. As funny as it looks, you never know... it might be pretty damn fast! Sorta reminds me of the turbo drag bug that was at Devek Days '04.

Yea...I snapped a bit too quickly and then went back and changed my comment. My bad! I apologize to all who saw my first response. I just get a little edgey these days with all the negativity on the forum...sorry again.
