not sure what the plans are though, stock is tempting as it won't break... but the bottomend is good for 500... but Im kinda annoyed at boosted cars after my 951 blew a hose at spa-francochamps after the tranny dropped.. we will see!

trouble is I have 1000cc injectors, custom fuel mgmt etc.. I have so many parts I could put on it, and compared to my 944, its sooo easy to work on

Then leave it alone and enjoy it! I'd love to have the car and race around on it. What is the history of the car by the way? And don't listen to Reno too, he is a moron who is Special Tool's butt-buddy.

it's an RS, so it's built from the factory light with little stuff, to be converted with misc goodies, apparantly strongest diffs etc. roof has dents, doors has dents... I think seller made some "friends" that turned out wrong. the marks on the car looked personal

we will use it for rally in forest, on fields and on ice.

it's an unregisterd car, rhd, we bought it in the uk, then drove 2200km home and payed 25% VAT on it. if we were to register it it would cost us a wopping 15.000USD ekstra, but seeing as we will just use it from time to time, we use $15 temporary plates that lasts a day, and when on ice, etc we dont need even that.

gonna put it up in the air tomorrow, gotto change following before we race it hard

engine oil
transfer case oil
diff oil front
diff oil rear
transmission oil
clutch fluid
brake fluid
brake pads




the guys welding the cage didn't pain tit, so there is rust at bototm where it faces chassis, gotto sort that out, just surface rust though, very nice cage, guessing owner said he would paint it himself, and didnt.

we also need some new seats as I'm to fat & tall for the ones in it, skinny englishmen! I'm a proper viking size, meaning close to almost 100KG
