Is that a similar housing to Corleone's?

Yes that looks similar to Corleone's. Is that made by Magnus? I have kind of given up on waiting for those.
Hey Derek, how's your alternative solution going too? Sounded interesting. PM me if you want.

Duke

Yes I've been waiting on this for a long time myself. When he delivers, he delivers good quality though!
The carbon fibre buckets are a nice touch

Gustaf,

did Magnus made those especially for 951's? All others i have seen are made for 924/944, so they do not fit perfectly to our cars.

Duke

Yes he makes these specially for the 951 so it fits the curves and lines of the the bumper

DDP

I have the actuators and all wiring I just need to do it, lol. I'm a bit lazy.

That carbon fibre is a nice touch for sure. That guy does great work to say the least. Love the look.

How does the car run, Duke? Any problems you've run into so far? How is the GT3582R on response (if you don't tell me I'll find out myself, haha)?

Duke

I've been taking care of a few oil leaks (cheap sandwich plate for oil cooler outlets) the last couple of days. They should be OK by now, so now I'm heading to the garage to build some new brackets/fasteners for the intercooler, then mount the new head light kit and then finish the build of the 4" turbo intake.

The GT3582R is impressive, I've only been boosting 0.6-0.7 bar yet but it feels very good so far. It comes into play around 3700 rpm but the car pulls strong to 7000 rpm so powerband is still great.

Olli Snellman

Gustaf,

does those headlamps have a special made nosepanel as well?

Duke

Yes it's a one piece solution.

333pg333

Hang on, do you mean that you need a new nose panel too? That wasn't what I thought. I have been communicating with Corleone on this for many months waiting for Magnus, and no mention was made of a new nose panel?

Corleone

The nose panel is included in the price together with the housings and glass.

333pg333

Ahh, ok I didn't realize that. In which case can he make the nose panel that is better for our front mount i/c's?

Olli Snellman

Shipping from Sweden to Down Under might be a little bit expensive...
How many Swedish ones you have to pay for that light/nosepanlel combination?

333pg333

Well you're right about shipping from Sweden. I just got the c/f hood and c/f 968 rear spoiler from Van Zweden and it cost a small fortune by the time it got here. The finish was not as good as I expected either which is the chance you take ordering off a website picture. Ah well, we will try to clean it up as best as possible.
As for the 'MagnusKit' , I have not had a price from him. Corleone was acting as a go-between and then gave me Magnus' email, but he didn't reply so I am sourcing an alternative way to deal with the lights. It's more the space under the hood that I'm trying to clear, and the reduced weight of getting rid of some of the light system. We'll see what happens...
Again from the pics of Corleone's car, I thought that it looked very well done all the same. Good luck Duke with yours. Saw the car on YouTube. Looks good, getting there too.
