Default My new 951

Been wanting one for years, waiting for the right time and right deal. Lets just say i stole this car. New Motor, New Trans, New Turbo, Guru Racing Chips, reliaboost thingy, Momo Steering wheel all done about 400 miles ago. Have reciepts for about 11000 dollars worth of work since 2003.













PS I LOVE IT

Nice car! I love Guards Red! What year is it? Guru chips are nice, but you probobly won't find much help with them. Might try switching to Vitesse. There is TONS of info on this board, glad you're here!

By new motor do you mean rebuilt or is it a lower mileage replacement? If you dont mind, what did she cost you? Beautiful car and congrats!

A little off topic, and since i forgot to take engine pics did the 86T come with a front sway bar? it doesn't seem to have one, and I see people selling "stock" front swaybars. Was that in the later years?

sway bars are stock equipment, you're not confusing a strut tower bar with a sway bar are you?

Careful climbing rocks in the 951, the oilpan sits kinda low on these babies!

Nice car. I recently purchased an 87 just like yours, color, wheels and all. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed mine. You think rock crawlin was expensive, wait until you get addicted to boost...
