Wow - sweet setup. Welcome to Rennlist! Looks like you are in Texas but you should update your profile with a general town as I am sure there are other Rennlisters close to you. If you get a chance post up some pics of your engine bay and interior - looks like a quick ride! Have you had it on a dyno?

Very nice! Cool to see someone proud of their 951 that seems to have a setup more balanced towards handling than horsepower And those are some meaty friggin tires man.

I'll try to get some nicer shots of my ride later this week. I just finally went through and cleaned the hell out of it, so it's more photo-worthy

Thanks for the compliments guys. The engine bay is still rather stock looking, we havent got to delete the useless vacuum crap yet. My flares are being painted and will be reinstalled tomorrow. Will post pics then.


Btw, this thread is lacking pics of other cars...let 'em show guys.

-Happy motoring

I didnt address this in my last post lol. I believe it has close to 300.
(that is using my mental dyno though, have not had it on a real dyno yet)

You should put it on a dyno - good to know as you continue to mod the car more. Of course the mental dyno is a lot more fun and more impressive usually Sometimes I wish I hadn't put my car on a dyno as the number was a lot less than I figured from adding up my mods.

Yeah I'm going to dyno it next time I'm at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, TX. I'm going to run it in the NASA GTS Series once it is completed. I'm leaving Saturday for an event at Texas Motor Speedway. But yeah, odds are it has less than 300, but I really like my handling you know?

Thanks. and no, sadly, not yet. Im either going to drop the LSD transmission in there, or buy a Quaife....the Quaife is so damn expensive though...

Save up and buy a Guard if you are going with a aftermarket LSD. The Quaffie doesn't engage during braking(which I've only recently learned).

Yep, John is correct re the LSD. As it looks like you're building this up for a track vehicle I would go with the Guards clutchplate LSD. As for expensive, well a lot of the Guards stuff is actually made and supplied out of Australia and it's probably cheaper for us to buy it from Guards and have it shipped back here!!

Re your fender flares, how difficult was it to fit them?
Also I just don't 'get' your top photo?? What's going on there?

Nice trailer too.
