I don't think it's up and running with this years spec... the parts are supposed to be made but not installed. Unconventional things like turbo on the header-side, solid lifters, drive shafts able to turn a full turn before they break etc....
But I wonder if it ever will move by itself and not on a trailer.

Ian,

it fits the normal turbo width - the wide-track you see in the picture was added at a later stage.

I think it updates the shape somewhat - if you are a racer, be aware that you lose the underspoiler, slightly less downforce, for which we compensated with the big wing.

OMG are you serious Olli? Do you think the Gruppe951 would go for a 968 rear?

The lights are not too expensive here. It was the cost of cutting it out that made it expensive here... only one guy has a 968 wrecking!

PS have you thought about the side skirts too? The 951 is screaming out for some decent side skirts.

Yes we have a plan to make a mold of 968 rear end. There just wasen't suitable "donor" car available ! One of my friend changed his S2 to 968, so this problem has been solved now.

What comes to skirts, we have also plans to make Gruppe951 version of 968 skirts.I suppose that will happen fall/winter, if only we can have enough time. Plans inclued also Turbo Cup clone hoods....

These cars have our own production fron splitters:

If it is the one from those crooks at GAD that is on there now, it hasn't hit it's reserve yet. They tend to have outrageous reserves set for their wares. Since it includes the under-bumper and the lights, I bet their reserve is close to $1500 USD, if not more. You can send them an email to ask them about shipping to you, but it is unlikely that they will even respond. I have yet to ever get a response to any email or inquiry I have ever sent them.
