Pics of latest project car - another Pinky!

Damn... ... Makes me more motivated to keep mine in the condition it's in. So sad to see how these cars end up. I'd say clean it up and find a set of seats to install, then sell it as a running car.

WOW Josh... this thing is a reall basket case...
How long before we all get to see it on the track?
A silver rose with an 86 motor, is a late car, early motor, with hodgepodge interior... Double check the LSD... at least you got the 88S block with the car right?

Just finished up a DE out at Road Atlanta in my 87. She made it all the way through this time - was a lot of fun but certainly not a cheap weekend. Dadgum number stickers removed some of the paint on my car - sick about that
I can't afford a dedicated track car yet - maybe sometime in the future although I understand my small fry only gets more expensive as he grows up

I wish - bores were shot in the S block so it was a boat anchor. Would have just ended up damaging stuff in the interior if I had persuaded the PO to load it in there.

Josh,
Good to hear you made it through the weekend! Dad was up there instructing a student with a PDK 987 Spyder and I'm really glad Sunday was nice for you guys. I wish I could have made it out there Saturday but the rain unfortunately persisted!
Looks like my 951 will be on the road again this weekend but without an official fix for the blue smoke after lifting on boost. I'm planning on turning my MBC down a notch or two from 15psi, emptying the catch can, and driving it around a bit to see if the reduced richness can help the issue without a professional dyno tune.
Best of luck to you with your new project! Looks like it could be a sweet car if it responds nicely to your fixes.

The reason I think this would be a good track car is that it has a lot of the (suspension) goods that will get you through a few classes. In other words, it is a low investment car. The only internal difference of which I know on the engines are the sodium filled exhaust valves, so who cares? That the car is so rough means you won't have to worry about tearing anything up, meaning you can drive harder.

I had a blast on Sunday. Tried to take some pictures of Josh's car, but apparently I'm a lousy photographer.

Does your father race a black S2, maybe number 77? I'm guessing here that IMB might be your initials, and your father's are DB. If so, he and my father-in-law (who was instructing a guy in a 993 C4S) are friends, and race together (red turbo, #139).

Besides, I think you need to learn to keep up with Cayennes driven by soccer moms and Volvos before you talk too much trash.

Baby steps - my short block held together this time at least
