i need to reinforce my splitter like that- already broke where it was broken where i bought it- not bad though

coming along nicely, i may need to get a set of EVO's for my car- local pca guy bought those in black, i need to check them out after he mounts them.

Damn mike the foil looks great! That's one hell of a mess you got going there, I'm still jealous

New pilot bearing and rear main seal.


Spec flywheel




There is a big relief. The head is just on there for the meet as I still need to send it out to get refreshed, but didnt want to put a rush on the guy who is doing the work for me. Have a bunch of stuff to button up tomorrow, bodywork, put the transaxle in, etc. But getting the block in is a huge step forward.

Awesome progress mike that foil looks great

And let me tell ya, it sure reflects the light nicely. I was under the car and didnt even need a trouble light to see to line up the torque tube

How hard was it to stick to the walls without making it look like ****e?

It's always going to crinkle, I've never seen a smooth application of the stuff. It doesnt bother me though.

Car isnt done, but here it is in Philly this past weekend

sick.

Did a ton of cleaning today (it seems like I'm always cleaning, but then again, I'm always making a mess). So I didnt do a ton on the car. But I did strip the 944S engine down to the bare block. Horrible, I'm already working on next year's turbo engine and the temp NA engine isnt done yet. Anyway, this had EXTREME crank play as shown on the chewed up bearing, but was otherwise in good condition and was running when it was pulled. Cost me $600 The catch was I had to pick it up in Norfolk, which is why I had it at the BlownEuroz meet.



Right before I really started working


Base for the wiring harness my father spec'd out and ordered. Should be cranking away at that, goal is to have it done before April 6th.





This is why you only use a tiny bit of permatex in a problem area on the engine. Nearly every mating surface on the head or any coolant passage was permatexed on this engine, and it was clogging the main oil pickup. Uhhg.






Again, making a mess. It's why we cant have nice things.



Nicely chewed up bearing, I'll grab a couple better pics tomorrow, camera was dieing as I was running it on AA's today while the Nikon long life batteries charged.

Nice work mike, its okay to work on the turbo motor before the NA, everyone knows where your heart lies!
