I noticed on a couple of other boards that the owners had 1 dedicated thread to post their pics and show off their wares....I figure that we can start one on the 944 Turbo/951 board. I will go ahead and start. Here are my pics.... With a few mods listed below in my sig... I also painted the rear tail lights, side markers and front blinkers...all red, installed an antenna on the roof, and installed a A-pillar boost gauge and a custom gauge plate under the radio.

Mercedesben 10-25-2004 10:09 AM

Sami951,
Your car looks great, I think it is one of the best looking 951s I have seen yet. I think I have to lower my car now! The last component you need are the 968 mirrors. Then the look would be perfect. It is amazing how wheels can change the look of our cars. I hate my car with the stock phonedials, my first mod within 48 hrs of owning my car was to pull off the phone dials and install my 17" cup rims off my 993.. For looks and for the toyo ra1 tires. I do not have any pics of my car with the 17s but my last 951 had the cup wheels and they are a huge improvement over the phone dials. For long trips or for inclement weather I have a set of 964 design 90 wheels, they look horrible on a 911 but resemble turbo s rims, and look ok on a 951.

I think leadfoot is the one that was doing the lights.i could be wrong though

boosted951 10-25-2004 01:51 PM

To answer the tail light question... A bunch of people have done it on this board. That is how I got the idea...but you go to Walmart and get the Testors Translucent Candy Apple Red model paint.... You tape off the area around the rear tailights....mask it off very good.....you don't have to remove the lights. Lightly sand the lights with a very fine sand paper.... clean the lenses off well...and spray... I sprayed all the lights to make it look more even, but I have heard you can just spray the white and yellow lenses and it will look the same. I sprayed 3 light coats on the tail lights. very simple. I also did the front side markers and the front orange lenses too.... Eventually I want ot o do the 968 rear end conversion, but that won't be anytime soon. I also want to get the carbon fiber GT racing front splitter.

Keep the pics coming... I love to see other 951's and how people modify and accessorize. I like to get ideas. Thx

Hi TRACKIN951!:)

The tail lights are, as mentioned by many else here, just sprayed with thin black layers of translucent paint. Mine was sprayed from the inside of the lights. This isnt very hard to do, but is a bit hard to get all the light the same colour. Spray some more layers at the orange, etc and you`ll be fine!:)
The same has been done on the front and side orange(blinkers or something) lights around the car ass you can see.

I can trie to answer you about the "smoked out corners" if I did understand what you mean? hehe... stupid norwegians you know :p :roflmao:

thanks sam, your car is looking nice on the new 18's also

yeah, they are off a 968. I smoothed down the rear mounting flanges so they'd fit flush against the body. Considered using the 3M tape to mount, but choose to use sheet metal screws to make removal more easy . . . just in case a scrut has a problem with them. For a street car it'd be a little rough, but this is track only

Hate to hijack again, but since you have done it/messed with them what would it take to get them to fit flawlessly/look stock on a 951?

boosted951 10-26-2004 07:50 PM

CAG4... very nice.... how did you like the 930 compared to the 951? Performance wise etc....Was the 930 much faster? Any mods on your 951?

Adam H 10-26-2004 08:37 PM

The pedals are Rennline, and they have gauge rings on eBay. You can get 'em for about $30.

cag4 10-26-2004 08:52 PM

Hey There -- the 930 is, to me, an automotive icon and absolutely fantastic... but... it really was designed to be an "ultimate" supercar, with almost all of its performance at the top of the powerband -- virtually no boost below 4800 rpm, shift into third gear at 90mph, only 4 speeds, etc. Wonderful in its way, but subjectively not so useful in modern street driving.

So far, the 951 is strongest where the 930 was weakest -- boost available quite low in the rpm range, excellent acceleration from 30 to 90 mph... more than enough top end available... *wonderful* balance and handling -- practical people and stuff carrying capabilities ;-) Very real-world user friendly!

It's all subjective in the sports car world -- there are things I've loved and hated about my old '59 356, my '73 914, my '86 930 and there certainly will be with the '86 951... but for me, right now, the 951 is a sweet, sweet ride!

As for the car itself... the PO did a lot of work to it:

upgraded to S2 suspension
Koni yellows
upgraded exhaust
disconnected boost regulator
all the belts, etc.

As for me... In boxes at the house and office I've got:

Autothority Stage II chipset
All black interior from a 70K mile same year 951
968 split rear seats
968-style whip antenna
Agla shift boot
Momo Street Race seats (pair)
Yokohama AVS ES100 225/50/16 & 245/45/16

And I'm still trying to figure out what to do about:

Stereo (looking for clean, tight, neutral sound with harddrive or ipod-like device hookup)
Cup Holders (I know, I'm a coffee addict, what can I say ;-)
Pedal set (Leaning towards Rennline Race set)
Steering wheel (Momo Prototipo, 930s, or other suede?)

I'm *very* open to advice and suggestions on the above -- and glad to join this active community!
cag4

Adam H 10-26-2004 09:02 PM

Sounds like you have some nice plans.

For a stereo, Nakamichi is said to be the absolute best. I believe Alpine just introduced units with built-in iPod control, and they generally make fairly good stuff.

For cup holders, there are ones that replace the console door, and hinged ones that attach via the trim screw to the right of the console, in front of the passenger seat. I would say the latter type are more convenient.

Rennline pedals look good. I'm planning to get some.

Momo has a suede steering wheel called the Mod 78. It's very much like the Monte Carlo, which is a very nice wheel. Sparco also makes a good suede wheel that is called the Ring, if I remember correctly.

boosted951 10-26-2004 09:13 PM

The rennline pedal sets are available through pelicanparts.com (a sponsor) or direct through rennline.com.

Don't know if the RUF wheels will fit on the 951 -- I suspect not without work... the cars are at www.midwestperformancecars.com -- Tom's got some great (but not cheap) inventory, including a stunning 944 Turbo S right now.

Thanks for the props on my interior guys! To answer the questions:

1. Bezels were sourced on Ebay. Came from Germany. Approx. $50. I bet he still sells em. Search under porsche interior bits. I had a local speedo shop put them in while they replaced my gauge lights with that kit from 9Xauto ( http://www.9xauto.com/ ).

2. Carbon fiber interior - EBAY as well, $120, same search should find em.

2. Pedals are Rennline ( http://www.rennline.com/indexframes.html ), The throttle pedal allowed me to get it exactly even with my brake ppedal under braking. I put a thin peice of wood under it attached to the factory pedal. I painted the wood black. Now I have PERFECT setup for blippin' the throttle.

I think that was it.

Rick,

Love that first pic with the inside wheels just off the ground! Is that just from cresting a hill or did the curb contribute anything? Fun, fun!

Rick 10-27-2004 08:59 PM

Bobby - the picture is just after the apex of turn 7 at Mid-Ohio; it's a left-hander in which the apex is essentially at the top of the hill. The inside tires are lifting just due to the weight shift to the right side & the speed carried through the corner - no curb action.
What the picture really proves is that someone is a far better photographer than I am a driver.

Rick,

What's your speed there? Sure is cornering flat, or are you drifting? I used to hang out at Mid Ohio in mu OSU days but never actually drove it, since I was a starving student.

Oh, yeah, I've got a yellow 911 too:

Rick 10-28-2004 09:06 AM

Bobby - my best guess is that I'm somewhere around 65mph +/- 10 mph; to be honest, I've never looked down at my speedo. There is a slight bit of drift that takes you to track out over the crest but the car corners quite flat as a result of the suspension mods to the car (dampers, springs, sway bars, bushings, etc...).
The car is an absolute blast to drive - my winter projects are to install a data acquisition system and find ways to reduce weight to get closer to what I'm allowed in PCA E Stock racing rules.

Clubracer,
If it helps at all, I just started driving my 951, again, after a year's hiatus. After blasting through 100 mph on boost a couple of times, all of the frustrations, time, and blood are worth it. My one regret is that I missed my last chance at a track event for this year.

April is only 6 months away! :(

Jon Moeller 10-29-2004 10:50 AM

I actually have a ton of pics, not all hosted, yet, but none are really appropriate for "showing off" the car.
Here's a pic of one of the many gory details:

that looks awesome Mike......

Sami951 10-29-2004 07:43 PM

Mike, those wheels are seriously cool. What are they? BBS? Straight fit or did they require some spacers/other work?

Mike Buck 10-29-2004 09:14 PM

Sami,

The wheels are BBS RE’s. A 1-piece forged aluminum design made for road and race. I think it’s used by Ferrari on the F360. The front 18x8.5 weighs 19lbs, the rear 18x10” is 20lbs. Tires are 265/35 front and 285/30 rear Michelin Pilot Sport Cup. There is a magnesium version of this wheel for some cars, but its roughly 2.5 times more expensive, IIRC. They are lighter and stronger than a comparable size BBS 3-piece Magnesium race wheel which have Mg centers, but only spun aluminum rim halves.

I bought these wheels through a race shop in Minnesota, Apex SPG www.apexspg.com The owner, Jim Bryant, club races a 944 S2 and really wanted these wheels for his car. Only problem was BBS only makes the 8.5x18” front wheel with the correct opening to fit a late model 911. The owner commissioned BBS to build a limited run of front wheels with a slightly larger opening to accommodate a 944 style wheel bearing dust cap(hence no front centercaps). All of the front wheels he had built have been sold at this time, but another lot may be done next year if there is demand. The 10x18” rear wheels are more available and interchangeable from 911 to 944’s. There is nowhere else to get the correct BBS RE front wheel for a 944 except through Apex SPG.

Straight bolt on, no spacers. I really like them so far.

I got rid of it for a better looking and faster 951. Basically, I sold the red car, bought a black one, did almost all of the same mods, plus some nicer ones, had an engine rebuild, and while at it, added some power! My car has been with Promotion Racing for a year, soon to be completed (note, a lot of that time with Promotion we were trying to sell the red car - he does not take that long to do such a build). If anyone wants to see the modification list for it, or any pictures, hit me up on AOL IM. That is just a F355 Spyder that I parked next to at a Ferrari dealership. One of my car buddies has a F355 GTS though, so when I get it back we will have some fun videos!!!!

EDIT: I have been waiting to post pictures of my new black one until it is 100% complete!

Tony, buetiful car, I love the 68 wing. BTW, I am jealous of you living in the UK. :) That is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

UK952 10-31-2004 01:53 PM

Thanks very much, looks better in the pics there are some stone chips around the front / and along the sills. 968 wing was standard on 90 models though i think body colour was an option.
I enjoy the climate (mostly) and scenery in the UK, but not much else anymore, petrol is far too expensive (tax), driving quickly even on empty roads (when you can find them) risks your licence and therefore livelyhood, and the government seems to churn out more and more stupid laws daily.
I often think about leaving, but haven't found a practical alternative yet!

Thanks Matt,
I was driving the car the other day some heavy traffic (NJ sucks) everything was normal, 70 degrees, running 18lbs of boost and didn't get on the boost once in the 19 or 20 mile trip. I then stopped to meet a buddy of mine, talked to him for about 20 minutes started the car to leave....... huge cloud of white smoke. blown head gasket.

So now I'm checking my $, I wonder what the new engine is going to be like? I'm going to pull the engine next week and try to establish a plan. I don't think a 3.1L is in the cards financialy.

I think I'll post a thread to get suggestions.

Matt H 11-03-2004 05:28 PM

Winslow, there is a guy on the main board selling a 3L S2 motor, might see if you can pick it up for the right price.

Since I always seem to be working on it more than driving it I thought it would be appropriate to show the 951 in it's natural state. Once I get the bugs worked out of the 951 then I can go back to the SC. The 951 is actually in great shape with a perfect interior and a nice paint job.

I hope to have a 944 project running as well, but if I had to choose betwen a 951 and the 965 I'd have to go with the 911. Something about that car just draws me to it.....

But it was a beautiful 951, and I know it will be well taken care of by the current owner to in a way that makes me happy.

I do personally prefer the two tone look... silver lip...dark inside..... Thanks

PS...can someone photoshop the wheels grey a little better so I can get a better idea of what it will truely look like. TIA

Are those CCW's in the 1st pic? If so what tire size were you running? I also have CCW's and am debating the best size tire for the front...I'd have tires by now if the clutch job on the 83 didn't set me back so far.

Wormhole 11-06-2004 11:57 PM

Steve, yes they are CCW's. I run 245/275 hoosiers, on 9, and 10's. Anything bigger won't gain any more traction, as I already don't get a full contact patch. At some point I'm going to try adding a 1/2 inch to the outside wheel halfs and increase to 9.5, and 10.5 .

Do you think a 255-40 front would clear the OEM dia. springs in the an early 951 offset? The CCW track wheels seem to have an x-tra wide lip and I'm still not convinced a 245 would provide any curb protection for street use even in a performance tire. I realize the Hoosier's have a very straight sidewall making the tire look a bit inset on the rim leaving the edge of the rim as the outermost point...is that correct?. I would prefer a 245 as my 1st choice if the rim protector even slightly protects the edge of the wheel.
Thanks

Matt, yep. Were you bidding on them too? I'm still trying to figure out what type of wheels they are. I started a tread in the 944/951 section.

2Tight, I really don't know if it will clear the OEM dia. springs. I run 2.5" dia. springs, and have no problem. The Hoosiers have a lip around the tires to protect the wheels. If you’re using street tires a 245/255/265 probably won’t make much of a difference. Curb protection is easy, just park further away. :)

John, no I wasnt but I saw them and figured someone here would buy them.

Is there diffrent body work for the 951's after certain years? For some reason, the flares dont look as prominent, if at all, on some of thsee cars compared to others. Or, is it just angles?

Believe it or not, it's all about the lighting. The angle and intensity of the local lighting can change colour and make the lines of the fenders look sharper or softer. My two cars parked downstairs are a good example of this. one is parked directly under a light and the colours are vibrant and angles are sharp. The other car is parked off to the side, and the colour is dull and so are the angles.

Ok, I am due for some paint and body work in the near future and think I will take off the door/fender guards. The cars pictured here without them seem to have a cleaner or more classy look.

I take it cars without them have been painted? Or did the later models not have the guards?

The body mouldings were an option for all years I believe (?). I took mine off with the repaint and like the look, but it didn't take long to get a little door ding where they would have protected it!

black944turbo - that is an awesome looking car. love the phone dials. are you interested in selling your black car. I have been looking for a black car. any idea on how much hp you are running?

Boosted951 - unless you are selling your red 951? I would love to buy yours too.

I really want a 951. Please help me out guys. My budget is $10k. Should I buy a unmolested one and mod it myself or should I get a modded one already? Any advice?

Kesepton 11-11-2004 12:10 AM

Well, first off, you probably shouldnt have announced how much you were willing to spend on a car here. Everyone who was gonna sell for under 10k now know how much you are going to pay and will all sell for 10k.

However, answering your question, I am curently looking for a modded one that runs well. Reason? Because it is already modded with things I would do and it saves me money. A modded car sell for the same, if only a little bit more, than a non. However of course, the car has been "molsted," running harder than normal and sloppy mods will hurt a car. It is really up to you. 10k, you may be able to find a high miled (100k+) in good working order. It is hard to find modded 951s because, they are highly saught after. However, there are a few everyonce in awhile that pop up and, if you get lucky, youll pick one up for yourself.

black944 turbo 11-11-2004 12:19 AM

Sorry man, ;) No amount of money would get me to sell my car. I love it, I appreciate the compliment though. As far as buying a modded or non modded car, it all depends on how well the car was cared for. Some modded cars have been cared for as well as non modded cars. I barely run my car under full boost, and then you have some unmodded cars that have been beaten on all of its life. Just thoroughly check it out. Good luck, thanks again for your compliment.

951_VAB - is that metal trim just stuck on or a full replacement? And, that turbo on the passenger side, whered you get it? that interior is the cleanest yet.

951_VAB 11-15-2004 08:37 AM

Yes, it's the brushed aluminum stick-on kit available from several sources, a lot like the Carbon Fiber and Wood Trim packages. It's actually not a bad product, it sticks well, fits very well and has a top coat on the metal surface that protects and maintains shine.

The turbo insignia is off the late model 996 turbos and it only available in silver. It's a little thinner and slightly different script and I feel looks a bit more updated.

boosted951 11-15-2004 09:09 PM

87_944s 11-20-2004 02:31 PM

Yeah, he does them.
His and the car in the middle a few pics up, Scott's '86 Arena Red car.

And yes, you have to repaint.
Somebody on here said they did their and didn't repaint but I don't see how exposed metal would not need to be refinished....?
Both cars above have polished aluminum ducting too...

I've seen it done two times, basically he lays wide masking tape covering the entire area.
Next, depending on the width of the vent, he draws a center line horizontally across the front then uses that line to center a (in this case) two inch circle, draws them with a compass.
There's one circle drawn at each end of the two vents. The he connects the tops of the circles with a pencil line and a straight edge.
Next, right at where the point of the compass was when making the circular pencil marks at each end he taps a small center punch mark (x4).
Next you use a 2 inch METAL holesaw and cut out the four circles.
Carefully connect the circles following the straightedged pencil marking left on the tape that you drew earlier with the tool of your choice.
He uses a super thin cutting wheel on an air motor.
To finish, he cleans up the lines with a small fine flat file then removes the tape grid.
Prime, block sand, seal, paint.....

The ducting is another story.....<lol>

Looks awsome but, i thought it usually came out like, fire color, not this purple. Or does it turn to that in a second? I dont know, howd you do it and props to ya.
In the daytime it looks mostly orangey, at night it's mostly blue.

Anyways, that happens with pretty much any turbo car running a no-cat exhaust :D It's easier to see the concept with an atmospheric blow-off valve, but even with a recirculated BOV (or Bypass Valve, or Diverter Valve, pick your acronym :) ) at higher boost it will do it. When the throttle shuts under boost, the BOV/BPV/etc opens to vent that pressurized air so that the shock waves in the pressurized air bouncing off the throttle plate don't make it back to the turbo and damage the blades. Since this air has been measured by the MAFS already, the computer is opening the injectors for all this air, and since that air doesn't make it to the engine, the mixture goes lean for a split second, and that extra fuel vapor in the exhaust combusts when it hits hot enough metal in the exhaust and makes the flame out the tailpipe. The stock BPV on the 951 redirects this air into the pipe between the turbo and the MAFS, so that the vented air circulates back through the turbo, preventing more air (in theory) from entering the MAFS to cause that rich condition (it doesn't prevent it completely but it reduces it significantly. The air circulating through the turbo also allows it to stay spooled a bit longer so that there is less lag between shifts).

Sorry if that was a bit lengthy. It's a lot easier to open the hood and point at stuff :D It doesn't blow flames as much with normal driving, but if you're driving it hard (e.g. Tail of the Dragon, track event, etc) it will start to shoot flames out regularly once the exhaust gets nice and heated up...

Kesepton 11-24-2004 01:20 PM

Cool. I thought for sure you needed to run catless to get falmes. guess i was right. And i was pretty sure it was the exhaust pipe getting hot enough,as right. But dont worry about it being long, read the whole thing twice. Awsome info, thanks. Thing is, im in cali and we must run a cat. Im sure you couldnt tell if someone wernt of course... Until flames start shootin out. Ill try runnin catless for awhile and see how it looks under normal driving. I dont mind it shootin under hard driving, ill probably be gettin tickets for that anyways, whats another?

NZ951 12-01-2004 02:19 PM

Given they will be common here, does anyone want me to check local wreckers to see if they have any? Though the exchange rate will kill it I imagine... I think its around .7 at the moment.

Have you actually seen that body kit or the car? It is just about the most hideous design ever put on a car. Like the wheels, however.

Porsche951redt - very nice example of a Strosek bodykit. There's still a few of them floating around in Europe but not many are in decent shape anymore. Although you can question taste (it wouldn't be my choice for a daily driver) - it's a typical icon of the late 80's. Mark my words - this will be retrocool again in a few years time.

Porschhhh951,
Are those C2 Turbos or just the 5-spokes? They look like the turbos from the spoke width, but you have the painted crests which I believe came on the standard C2s. OEM or replica, and how much did you pay for them, including the caps? I like them a lot, so I'm just trying to get an idea.
-thx sorry to be nosey

porshhhh951 12-14-2004 06:30 AM

Why? If you are looking at a special edition silver rose S car please skip on that car and not paint it. That is a realy rare car and ashame to ruin it by switching colors. BTW, Nick beutiful car. Sorry Kesepton I am not trying to be a jerk just realy gets me when people change a special car like that. Good luck on your search. :)

Depends on how much work you're willing to do yourself. If you let the shop dismantle the car as well as put it together it can get ugly expensive. Especially if you pay by the hour!

Oh, i dont own a 944 even, it was just what came to my head. I was just wondering if, i cant find the exact color i want, how much id have to expect to pay to get my car painted to the color id like. Thats all. (id never touch a silver rose honestly... Id probably leave it all stock)

porshhhh951 12-19-2004 10:55 PM

Boosted did you just clean the surface with soap and water....and lay the paint on the inside?

Sorry for being nosey..I just would really like to do the same thing to my lights. I was thinking white....any suggestions on technique and paint would be great.

boosted951 12-20-2004 10:04 AM

John,

What I did was use the translucent paint on the outside. I lightly sanded and prepped(masked) the outside of the lights....then sprayed a couple of light coats of the red translucent paint. Let it dry and whammo...it was done. I also did the front corner lights and blinkers...which were originally orange. All my lights are either red or clear.
I don't know if you can get a white translucent paint. I think all red would look great though. Or you can paint all red...then a tint color to make a little darker....I think that would look good too.

944turboman 12-22-2004 11:23 PM

The 964 in the picture is a '90 Carrera 4.

It seems that in '91 Porsche cleaned out the shelves and therefore some '91 has options not found on earlier models.

However, some '90 and '91 951s were officially exported to the Canadian market. Just no 951 cabs.

You can tell them apart by the late spoiler and the M030-spec D90 wheels -7.5" fronts and 9" rears, like the ones on this French car.

Is the c/r higher for the Euro 951s as was the case with the Euro n/a cars versus the U.S. spec ones or were they the same powerplant?

951TurboEuroSpec 12-27-2004 02:44 PM

To my understanding the powerplants are exactly the same, the difference is the gear ratios, no cat, no o2 sensor.. seems like its faster then my 87U.S Turbo. I also noticed my brake lights light up different then my others. Took a little time to get used too. Interior bits seem a little more robust...

John, with a little patience you should be able to raise the headlight cover to a flush position by loosening and repositioning the fender-side headlight support bracket. It's held on by 3 10mm bolts, IIRC.

It's a little tricky to get to, but it can be done. Just remove the headlight cover and go from there!

NZ951 01-24-2005 02:00 PM

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!

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.

If the guy with the seriously attractive girlfriend is still following this thread here's a few bits of info for you. Firstly I know of a guy who owned an M3 and thought it was as quick as any Ferrari or Porsche untill he went for a spin in a 944 turbo which runs about 290rwhp he came back feeling sick and saying thats the fastest thing he's even been in!!

Well now that your definately buying a 944 here's a quick look at the colours. My first car was the white lux and my second is the black turbo! White definately makes the car look wider but black looks awsome under flurecent lighting at night (like when your in a petrol station :D )

Anyway happy hunting with your car and as for the other guys on the forum!! Damn am I jelous of your cars!! Those CCW wheels are so sexy!

Ok I have a new favorite wheel. SoloRacer I have been jones'n for a set of those for a long time, either the genuine Turbo 3.6 or the Gemballa version...BUT...

KuHL 951 those wheels are incredible! Are they CCW? What's the color and is the surface satin or flat? I like it much better than straight black. I've always loved that design, how he manages to get the "dished" look and still have a modern wheel. I wonder what they would look like on an '86? I know CCW will make them in a custom backspace for just about any application.

No this is not the original paint code, and no it was not an origianl color option.
Not sure when this color code was first available, I saw it on a 2001 911 and had to have it. The original color was just a shade lighter.
