Default Might have to sell :(

Due to some unforeseen expenses, I might have to sell my 951.

Albert done an amazing job with this Porsche. The only change from the pics is I replaced the front splitter with a OME batwing. It was to low for the Myrtle beach curbs.

I only want a true Porsche enthusiast to buy it.

If any body might be seriously interested, let me know. It’s hard to put a value on such a highly modified 951. I'm Asking 28K.

The following is from Albert description he sent me when we where dealing:


I have an '89 944 S2 that I converted to a turbo.so no more 3L S2 engine.
Below is a list of what I have done to the car in the 6 years that I have
owned it.




Suspension, brakes, and wheels:

18" modular wheels with Vredestein tires: 8.5" front and 10" rear. 235/40
ZR18 frt and 275/35 Zr18 rear

Bilstein Escort Cup coil overs at all four corners: 400# springs in front
and 200# springs in rear with re-indexed torsion bars

Entire rear suspension unit and torque tube replaced with one from a
12,000 mile '88 turbo S with solid aluminum mounts at both top points of
torsion tube

Rear calipers from a '98 993 with OEM drilled rotors for a 968 turbo

SS brake lines

Rebuilt 968 front A-arms with 968 brake scoops that scoop air from under
the car

Spindles and hubs from an '89 944 turbo: spindles have the proper mount to
mount caliper through the top

Hubs are beefier than regular, new wheel bearings

New 928 GTS front calipers (same as the 993TT calipers except black
instead of red and the crossover tubes are oriented correctly)

993TT 2-piece drilled front rotors with special aluminum hats to provide
the correct offset for the hubs

Spherical bearings on front of A-arms and spherical bearing aluminum
castor mounts at the rear of the arms

Adjustable camber plates that do not place the load on the spherical bearing

Dynatech billet aluminum strut bar

Aligned and corner balanced with 1 degree rake rear to front: 3200 lbs
with ½ tank of gas and 160# driver



Drivetrain:

Transmission is original S2 unit that was rebuilt with cryo'd ring and
pinion and factory LSD unit with 60% lock instead of 40% ~ 5,000 miles
since rebuild

Torque tube now has 17,000 miles on it



Motor: ~ 2.5L turbo motor with 5,000 miles since rebuild - have pictures
of motor build

Rebuilt to stock specs; internals are stock, new seals, gaskets, races,
bearings, etc..

Replaced turbo camshaft with one from an n/a

New clutch: turbo PP, OEM throw-out bearing, 930 disc

Stock turbocharger replaced with a new Turbonetics TO-4E 60-1 Hi-Fi

Turbo has a 3" out using a V-band clamp, ceramic coated 3" downpipe, full
polished 3" exhaust without cat and with a Borla muffler

Crossover pipe is a custom 2-piece unit using a V-band clamp for easy
removal and is titanium coated

Exhaust headers are stock and ceramic coated

Polished cam cover, intercooler pipes, oil catch can, intake J-pipe,
aluminum power steering reservoir

Powder coated intake and other items

All hardware is newly yellow zinc - no old bolts or nuts used anywhere

72#/hour fuel injectors and high volume Bosch fuel pump

Adjustable fuel pressure regulator

Fuel damper deleted

Custom made braided SS fuel lines

New Tial 38mm wastegate

Manual boost controller

MAF with K&N filter instead of stock AFM; special chip for DME to run all
upgraded components

Front mount intercooler installed between the front frame rails covers the
entire front of car

Permacool oil cooler mounted where the stock intercooler used to mount and
plumbed with -12AN braided SS lines

Front header panel between headlights has two slits that feed air directly
to the oil cooler via a custom aluminum duct

Custom fabricated fresh air system takes air from front of car and routes
to the intake filter through the driver side fender

Charcoal canister deleted

Oil catch can from Saiku Mitchu

I redid the entire engine wiring harness and covered it with 1200 degree
blue firebraid







Body:

Front nose license plate area cut out in order to maximize air flow to the
intercooler; trimmed the same as openings in header panel

Silver Porsche Crest on nose

Clear front turn signal lenses

Clear front sidemarker lenses

Euro combination fog/driving lights

Euro H4 haedlights

Custom headlight and driving light harness; each light has its own relay
and very thick wiring to supply proper power to the 100watt bulbs

Selective yellow light fog light bulbs - yes, they shine yellow

924 turbo hood with air intake on passenger side and deleted windshield
washer jets; fitted with brackets for use with hood shocks

Body side mouldings removed

Rear hatch is from a 968 and is fitted with a new 968 turbo RS adjustable
wing

Rear Euro fiberglass bumper

Tinted rear tail lights

Tinted rear sidemarker lights

Tinted windows with 35% tint - it is legal

Exterior mirrors from a 968

Door handles from a 968

New blow off valve / bypass valve

New fuel pressure gauge

New aluminum intercooler pipes

New silicone couplers and t-bolt clamps

New coolant reservoir tank





Interior: Perfect condition, no rips, tears, or imperfections - looks
brand new

Recovered power sport seats; leather seating surfaces, vinyl backs and
sides; covers from Leatherseats.com

Full leather OEM dash; top is still vinyl but entire bottom is leather -
no cracks

Full leather console and arm rest, leather door pulls also

Full leather rear seat

Roll bar powder coated silver mounts to stock seat belt mounting points;
no carpet damage

10 - speaker optioned interior; Infinity speakers in rear quarter panels

Full complement of aftermarket interior gauges; wideband air/fuel, boost,
oil temp., exhaust gas temp. digital clock

A/F and boost are mounted in the A-pillar, others are under the radio

Digital thermometer for outside air temp. from a 968 mounted where the
stock clock was

Hard wired and stealth Valentine 1 with remote display mounted in the
instrument cluster and has a remote mute button mounted on high beam stalk

New pedals from Autovation.net including a dead pedal

You can't remember how much you paid for it about two months ago?

What Albert sold it for is what it's worth. I believe he traded for a 993 or 996.
RL rules require a price, big guy.
