I did a "Porsche Cars North America Vehicle Information Inquiry" on my 1987 951 it came with options

She was delivered August 08, 1987 her finished production date was April 02, 1987 She was shipped to dealer 1530 Her model/type is 951/352. Her mileage at delivery was 125. And her factory inspector was #37.


Her M-Options are:
158: Reno Radio
320: LSD tranny
341: Anti lock Brakes
384: Driver Sport Seet
387: Pass Sport Seat
395: Light Metal Wheels "Forged" (FAUCHS)

The wheels that are in this picture are orginal can any of you experts give me an idea if these are FAUCHS or what they are?

Those are 951 dish's, did they come white, or is that a paint job?

Next, what are the sizes and are they for sale?

Well, they were original powder coated that color with the car! I really don't want to sell them as the wheels are original equipment, and so far this car has been kept in original condition.

However, my factory Mechanic will put an Authority 2 Stage 2 Chip in her and adjust her manuel blow off valve!

Car runs great. Like a rocket almost intimidating!

There are pictures of her 1987 951 and my 1983 944 in Show your pictures of your 951!

FYI, check the p/n cast into the back, it should start with a 951. If they are, they are becoming hard to find

Thinks I will do that!

This car and I have bonded. I drive this car like I am going to a funeral. When I brought her home I was on a long stretch of 1-70 and a M3 was taunting me. So I kicked it down into 3rd and he was doing everything he could to keep up but at 3rd and 130MPH I pulled away from him I figured why even waste my time shifting to 4th and 5th. So I let off the throttle, rolled down the window, motioned him to pass, and gave him a big thumbs up!
I have all the paperwork on this car every receipt for work that has been done or parts that have been installed!

She is a fast ride I got nothing to prove to anybody. She will blow to doors off anything that I can think of!

But my 1983 is a sweet heart! Sometimes when I put them together I think the 944 is jealous of my 951.

I told my Dad I would sell him my 1983 for $1.00 (God know I have paid for that car 4 times over to put her in the condition she is now) as long as he would take her to the mechanic that I found in my home town and pay to have her restored.

Aren't those magnesium wheels they are super light and expensive.

Guy all I know is the guy has a ADJ blow off valve and pit some weird chip in it ( that is what he told me and had no paaperwork to show me any different details other than an instlation bill). I promise that I will tell you about the chip when my Mechnic get done with it. I promise that the car was at that speed I was Imazed too as I do not know if the guy has bought a weird tranny for it too!

is it just me or do those wheels look a little off?like the fronts look like 15s and the rear 16s?iono,if it were 15 in the front,how would it clear the brake calipers?btw,looks like its magnesium also.

lart951

Bingo, Those are the ones, very light and expensive.

Crazy Eddie

I have a really nice set of those Mg- Cup phones dials
I bought 6 sets from Canada back in the early 90's

No guys, those are actually the Magnesium Alloys found on the Euro-spec 944S(1986-1988) cars. I believe the 928 Shark, and the 924 Turbo got them in the US too.

The also look like the 928 forged wheels “Sewer Lids”. A lot like the turbo S wheels except the holes are smaller.
