Default Found great 944 Turbo Cup website so thought I'd share

Came across this site http://www.asarus.com/ when doing a google image search on the 944 Turbo Cup cars.

There are some great pictures on this site - well worth a look even if you don't speak French

If anybody knows of a company that reproduces the Cup wing mirrors then I'd love to know or also if anybody has an original set for sale please PM me (I know its a long shot) - Thanks.

I am pretty sure the cup mirrors are a VW part. But dont quote me on that.

part numbers for M637 Mirrors:
477.857.521 D - Left side
477.857.522 D - Right Side
477.857.579 - Gasket, x2
999.067.026.07 - pan head screw, x2
if you want a convex passenger side mirror replace the D with an H
These are 924 mirrors

Thanks everyone on the mirrors question. And there was me thinking they were special to the model.

I believe the bases are different for the porsche version from the VW assembly - made to fit the angle/contour of the 924/944 doors.

Are those mirrors the same size as the stock flag ones and just lighter, or are they smaller?

They look smaller Bill and must save abit of weight having no motors fitted to them. They also look more aerodynamic than our standard 'Flag' type.

Mirrors are a black plastic housing and the base is pot metal (maybe cast alum.). They are lighter than the full power heated flag mirror housings, and also somewhat smaller. The rearview is noticeably less when you first look at them.

Matt, I just completed a full "Club Sport/Cup" conversion for PCA Club Racing. Its an extensive conversion, so not sure how serious you are about "building" one.

If you intend to leave the car as an '86 (not upgrading to the later offset/brakes) it will be easier. '86 Cups were different and less modified compared to the later 87+ Cups.
