Expert..... My car is down also, John has my turbo doing a little upgrade and I am doing the clutch.

Hope to be ready for another dyno run mid Feb.

Looks like you have a loiitle more power under the hood... maybe a cup setup would be enough and a lghter PP like te KEP unit seems to have a lot of success. The centreforce is another option... there are a few clutch threads here, be very weary of the Spec setup!

Cup clutch will do the job, be sure and have your flywheel resurfaced.

Had about 1/2 hour to blow today, so I decided to check out the 28 pages of pics again! You guys have been busy this winter!

Thought I would stuff a few pics of mine into the abyss. Newbies enjoy!

It's not as pristine as some of this thread, but it functions nonetheless.

I'll try to post some more pics later. And here's what I remember about the car, haven't been racing it lately as all energy and resources have been devoted to the Grand-Am Cup effort with Autometrics.

It's an 87 951
Fiberglass Hood and Rear Bumper
Lexan Windshield and Hatch
Fikse FM10's - 17x8.5 and 17x10.5
Lindsey Racing Rear Wing
GT Racing Front Splitter
Fully stripped down - weighs around 2450 and could be significantly lighter still
Engine - 2.6L sleeved engine / Pauter Rods / J&E Pistons / 3" stainless exhaust / Custom Milledge Cams and Turbo / Vitesse MAF
Suspension - Bilstein Cups front and rear / Turbo Cup Front swaybar / Adjustable rear bar (can't remember the brand at the moment, been so long since the car was built) / Charley front control arms
Brakes - Big Reds up front / Water Cooled
Turbo S transmission with S2 Differential

Makes around 395 rwhp at 19 PSI boost last time I had her on a dyno. She should hold together fine at up to around 22 PSI, but rather than risking a motor meltdown, I typically run it at around 17 PSI where it makes around 370 rwhp.

She's got about everything done to a 951 that can be done short of a full fiberglass or carbonfiber body. Could go a little crazier with the engine, but as it stands right now, its perfectly reliable and fast as hell so why mess with a good thing.

Last time I had her out she turned laps in the very low 1:30's at TMS at 15 PSI.

Oh, and if anyone is interested, she's for sale if the price is right. With the Grand-Am Cup 996, its not fair to keep this car sitting in the garage.

I went with a Polk 4" component set. I had to make a mounting plate for the $" driver, but I like the sound of them better than the 4X6's.

Found some older pictures of BB's 951 on the Autometrics website. Car has changed a little bit I see.

I first saw this picture a few years ago. I just love the black/yellow combination.
