Default Official KMR 968 Turbo Thread

As promised here is the place to find all pictures and information that I have on the KMR 968 Turbo. To start it off I have put up a video:

It's just a shot of the car revving in the garage at the moment - it's still winter up here after all.

Try it now. I assumed that if I made it private and gave out the link you would be able to see it. I wasn't too keen on having it broadcast outside the Porsche world. Let me know if it's working now.

The picture above is of the car I used to own until last year. It was a very clean, gorgeous M030 coupe. I dearly miss it.

Gorgeous, I wish at some point I could see your 968 in action, but I havent been anywhere near your area in 10+ years.

Solo: That's great that you made that magazine and nice photos too! Awesome dude. Funny thing is, the guy who owned that white 944T is a good friend of mine even to this day.

I would like to see a picture of the Turbo installation. Also, would like to know the MAT (manifold air temp) at full boost, because of the intercooler location. Car is awesome. Congratulations!

Actually the car made the magazine long before I bought it. From what I understand the guy who owned the 944T also owned my 968 Turbo and his name according to the article is Gary Stone. I believe that David Stone and his brother (not Gary according to the article) are the founders of Kelly Moss. Is your friend Gary? Or one of the other owners of the white 951?

Funny thing is my current 951 looks almost identical to the one in the Excellence article - I even have the same wheels. Unfortunately I don't have the 2.8 engine though

Until I get my Chris White 3.0 built that is.
