Here you go Rob, a bit of polished chassis:



Ok, so it's more "brushed" than polished


Progress.

Ok, so who here can identify what hubs I'm running. Notice Big Reds, but zero adaptors and a different mounting brake structure than any of the 2 other 944's I have sitting around (Turbo and NA). I cant seem to locate a part number on them. Never noticed they were "different" last time I had them off. Keep finding little "surprises" from the old Technodyne car.



Yes, I know I desperately need to clean my suspension.

Sorry you're going to have to deal with crap photos till I get my camera back, I'm using a borrowed point and shoot that I have nothing polite to say about.

Those are Turbo S spindles - you have Turbo S trailing arms as well if you took them off the Technodyne chassis. The trailing arms are pretty much the same but the S spindles are much strong and have the newer radial brake mounts - very desirabe for the track.

MPD47

I did, which explains the part number on the trailing arms. Thanks Skip.

Nice mike! Crappy pics are better than no pics at all - and they're way better than "crap" so

Hoosier Daddy?

Mike, looks like your brake rotor was on the wrong side. The cooling fins should sweep toward the back of the car when viewed from the top of the rotor. Remember the rotors cool from the "eye" or center, especially when running duct work. So cool air comes in the center and as the rotor spins the little fins evacuate the air.

MPD47

Matt, we established that early on in the year I just never swapped them. Thanks though (If you look back at my ducting thread).

Hoosier Daddy?

Cool, the explanation was more for the masses

Euro NA pistons w/conrods arrived from Sweden! (Also had a spare set of OEM Cup I wheels show up, got em for $75 + shipping from PA)



THANKS DUKE!!!

Actualy mike likes to drive in reverse a lot.

Looking good Carnage King! Keep up the good work. And that's not polish!

DDP

Mike, are you planning on refreshing the bores or just new rings on the old bores?

MPD47

Both my engines have MINT bores. Just new rings.

DDP

What about taper or being out of round? You think the rings will seat ok?

MPD47

Yes. The next turbo engine is going to be sleeved so that's not even in the relm of concern there.

Duke

Good to see the pistons/rods arrived safe!
And I see you got that digital SLR running again
