MPD47

So I spent the the past few days installing all the new parts I've been amassing. The car is shaping up nicely and I cannot wait to finish the Tec3R install and get this baby fired up and on the track (and dyno!). Here are the pics:
























So, here's the list of what I added:

Fabcar Control Arms and Caster blocks (Spherical Bushings)
Late Offset Hubs and Spindles
M030 Front and Rear Sway Bars
Bilstein Escort Cup Coil-overs with helper springs and camber plates
Kokeln Solid Transaxle Mount
Koklen Rear Subframe with torsion delete and new trailing arms (spherical bushings)
Braided stainless brake lines
993TT Brakes on all 4 corners
New Axles
Built transmission (Built by 944 Online) New internals, hardened, quaife
968 Mirrors (still sitting in box)
968 Handles (still sitting in box)
968 Hatch Trim
968 Turbo RS Adjustable wing
Lexan Hatch
Lindsey Stage V Intercooler
Lindsey Hard Pipes with Tial BOV
Speedforce MAP Pipe

I still need to order a new set of wheels for the new offset, I'm probably going to order a set of CCW SP20's with a polished lip and gold centers. I cannot do anything else though till I get the second 951 back and get it sold.



I think that was everythingI still need to install the transaxle, mirrors, and handles, just ran out of time. I'll be doing those in the coming weeks (Hence the post on stripped cheesehead bolts!) Duke you made me jealous! I cannot wait for spring!

Is that a real 968 Turbo RS Adjustable wing?

Ahmet

Great stuff, I mean it. I like your new wheels a lot better on the car also.

Tell me about the brakes, base 993? Is the car a turbo S based car?
Ahmet

Sooooooooooooooo. You're in Rochester, you know how to do all that stuff, and I have all new suspension components on order and a manual steering conversion waiting to go in.........................what kind of beer do you like, and what do you want on your pizza?


Looking at your pictures, how many tools, nuts, bolts, and washers fell down that drain located directly under your car?

MPD47

Hehe, didnt drop ANY hardware down the drain. Covered it in the rear with a big steel plate, and was just careful in front. Ahmet, the car was an '86 but has been converted to late hubs and spindles (so it's late offset now). Shiners, shoot me a PM i'd be more than happy to come help you, I've had these damn cars apart so many times it's like old hat now.

suuweet!

Love the pictures!

What are the dimensions of the garage?

f1rocks

You amass parts like Heff amass' girlfriends....good looking stuff!

MPD47

testarossa, no idea, it's a friend's place that I was working in for a couple days. I know they pull 18 wheeler cabs in there to clean them off in the winter.

Eyal 951

you know what they say! If you can't amass girlfreinds, might as well amass car parts!

sweanders

But the real question is which is most expensive in maintenance? The Porsche or the girl..

f1rocks

Hmmmm....that's why I have 2 complete engines, 2 sets of brakes, a spare crank, a spare LSD tranny, 3 set of wheels, an unistalled fire suppression system (by the way I lost the directions from your group buy you didn't keep yours did you?)

And only ONE Wife who knows nothing of all of it....
