stealth would be black...white could work with a white car though.

drift a 944

GT3RS orange!

If I manage to get a cage in my car before it blows up I'm going to paint it GT3RS Signal Green, of course.

Just picked up my first 951. I've had a 85/1 and an 85/2 NA before. She's got a LR Dual Port Wastegate w/ screamer pipe, LR 3" Turbo Back w/ Magnaflow muffler with stock tip, 951MAX Multiboard, 3 Bar FPR, LR MBC, Hella H4 Headlights w/ 4300k HIDs, VDO Boost and EGT gauges. Not sure what turbo is on the car though. It's got a V-Band clamping system for the hot side but still uses the OEM J-Boot. Still trying to figure that out haha.

Best of luck

Thats the car I had made plans to look at and the seller sold it the day before going to look at it even though I had talked for over an hour with him n basically said I was gunna get it.... anyways, its got a k27/8 fyi

Sorry to jump you in line man. I got a call from him and met up with him the day after we spoke. We met and I drove it for about an hour and then crawled under it with my flashlight to verify that the things listed were indeed true. After verifying everything (except for the turbo, but after driving it I really didn't care) I made an offer and took it. I didn't have the extra $1k for the Fikse wheels he had on it though but the D90s cleaned up well and have a lot of tread left.

The car had a massive exhaust leak at the x-pipe. It was missing 2 bolts and there was a gap about 10mm wide. That would explain for the incredibly bad boost lag. I haven't felt that since I drove my friend's RX7 with a T88 strapped to it. I've since fixed that and tightened up all the clamps (a few were loose causing an idle fluctuation and a small coolant leak). I have to pull the crank pulley off tomorrow to put the timing belt cover back on. Good thing the only belt on the crank pulley is the A/C.

It's not a K27/8. As you can see from the engine bay picture it's still got the OEM J-Tube. The OEM J-Tube has a turbo side diameter of 2" and a K27 should have an inlet of 2.75" so the OEM J-Tube shouldn't fit. No doubt that it's upgraded as it has V-Band connections on the exhaust housings but I'm guessing it's a K26/8 from a 951 S that's been rebuilt or some other turbo but it's definitely not a k27/8.

The fog light fuse keeps blowing now and I can't seem to figure out why. I'm thinking the relay is stuck causing it to draw too much amperage and it's blowing the fuse...hmmm

[QUOTE=Crazy Eddie;8243370]At the moment...in a box. Gotta clean it up so I can put it back in.

Good deal on that car--a couple of us were looking at it out this way...and we didn't need it!

hehe its ok man. it happens. n i figured it had an exhaust leak the way he was describing the lag. btw, im running a k27/8 with j-boot and afm (hopefully not for long lol). it could be a k26/8 though cause he said somethin bout it getting an engine swap from a turbo s... idk, he told me 27/8.
anyway im glad your fixing it up n its still in VA. maybe I can meet some of the VA people soon.
