Going drift car and need help
So, unfortunately the 928 I bought without a title is going to become my drift car. I wanted to title it, but the PO was from Cali and didn't non-op it so there are astronomical fees :-(
Anyhow, on to the "I need help"...can anyone identify these: <img src="https://scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1/10004076_10203662034456470_759146429_n.jpg">
And, I am deleting the heater core and fan...do I just plug the heater hose where it comes out of the thermostat housing and wherever the return line goes? Or should I loop them?
Trust me, I Googled and searched, so I apologize if someone finds the answers right off the bat...maybe I wasn't using the right vernacular o_0
Thank you!

928's really sit down in the rear when accelerating, therefore don't know how one will work as a drift type car. IMHO, a 928 will need some serious power to make the rear step out along with relying heavily on the parking brake.02 T

where to start......sure its possible.....but the weissach rear axle is designed to increase stability...which is the polar opposite of drifting...but with stiff enough rear suspension and crappy rear tires anything is possible.....I also wonder what the G forces will be in the corners....since that tends to blow up 928 engine very quickly

the heater line comes off the rear of the passenger head and goes through the heater core then hooks up to the metal pipe on the passenger side below the coolant reservoir tank . best thing is to bypass the heater core BUT insert a slug with a small hole drilled in it so little fluid bypasses but air has a chance to burp out....And yes a 928 can drift with as little as 200 hp Not the greatest as it keeps wanting to go straight !!

most of the boxes have part numbers on them small one is possibly the lamp controller which tells you when a bulb burns out...larger maybe amp for radio but check the for number

Hmmm, well, the back of the silver box says VDO, so I can assume it's gauge feed. I'll likely pull my tach signal from here :-)
The other felt flat on the back so I assumed it was some module, when I unbolted it:
