Apologies for not completing the 944 project yet. The Audi I bought started acting up a lot and de-rating. I need a reliable car & don't need another project, but it is what it is. So the last while I have re-engineered my garage to allow parking of "Fergie" (the Audi) so I can perform diagnosis. After working as a mechanic during the day I kind of "get my fill" and don't feel like wrenching much, but the Audi is quite a lovely daily driver. I replaced the throttle pedal (same p/n as an R8 btw... haha!) and just now the throttle body. Took it for a good long burn into the mountains, where my friend and I sampled the local brewery's selection. Anyway, with time away from Wilson, I finally have the itch to work on him again!

I love how the driver controls the yaw in the corners. EXPERT!

Batt box was starting to corrode in the front section so reinforced with fibreglass.

Combined hoses & tubing to accommodate the "v mount" rad. Found the NA upper coolant elbow housing works better than the 951 with this set up. NAILED the hoses, they fit AWESOME.
