It's newer too late to start study foreign lanquages

In our education system (which is ranked as one of the best in the world) pupils learn 3 to 5 different foreign lanquages beside native finnish.....

So it's easy to hang around swedish,english,german,french,danish,norweigan,finnish,us, etc.etc. Porsche forums.

No they are not cup parts. Just check out link i posted earlier, there you can find pictures from original cup car. Original one had normal 944 doorpanels without electrics. That featured car have too many unoriginal parts like strut brace, rollcage,steering wheel,doorpanels etc.etc. Cup cars did not have power steering either. Also frontshocks seems to be different, most likely they are Koni Yellows when cup cars have Bilsteins.

Good reproduction. The original cup cars had no power steering. Also they had a different blow off valve, (although in this link they had the stock one on) as well as a few other things namely the door panels. The hoods were held down on each end at the front. The wheels were not painted white, they were as well as the intake & transmission made of magnesium. Kind of had a dull finish.
This is a turbo cup car:

not sure of that. My car, ¨88 951, have also those, but there is not ABS. I ahve wondered for what purpose those connectors are.

I gotta pile on here and share some admiration for this car! Provenance or not, this is a clean and tidy track preparation in the spirit of the Turbo Cup and better in a number of ways...especially the doors.

Does anyone have a picture of the yellow/black/red cup car that is in the Porsche museum? I've been looking for that one.
