My goals are to finish my 968 TS finally and to build up a 3.1 16V turbo for my everydays 944-1 engine is just getting drilled and I'm looking for a 968 head. Pistons will be made at 'Wahl' with 106mm and turbo will b a K26-10

Man - welcome to the list. That was a smoking good deal - the car looks great! Are those wheels cut or polished? Are you in the states? You should add your general local to your profile.

Thanks! The wheels are cut finish. I was given a set of chrome wheels with the car as extras that I unloaded on ebay for $600 (effectively making my purchase under 2K). I was also provided a used but crack free dash replacement and new in the box rear axle shafts. I'm located in Iowa.

Josh B

Ugh - you are making me want to puke An even better deal! Those wheels look great - have never seen them finished that way.

After I unloaded my Stasis Ohlins suspension for the S4 and track wheels/tires/harnesses.... you could basically call it free with change left over

Good stuff guys. Keep it coming.

John your project sounds very interesting and I'm sure we all look forward to just what will come out of this dream. One off stuff can go either way but with such a solid base I'm sure your's will be fantastic.

Darwin looks like the Silver Rose beast isn't too far away. Wasn't there a thread about your issue not so long ago? Might be worth a search if you haven't already done so.

RitzB I love Hillclimbs but you have to be careful. Most of ours are held on some normal public road so lots of trees and obstacles. Really have to watch out and not go 10/10ths too soon.

Tom....hmmm, another project. Wonder what this can be???? Always meticulous so this should be good!

Our new German friend above sounds like he's got more than one good project on the go. More pics please 944er-teile.de

There's plenty more out there so keep this thread going a bit more. It's great to read of all these cars around the planet still plugging away and keeping the fires burning. Get more pics and more video, and get out onto the track if you can to enjoy these cars doing what they're great at....beating up on other unsuspecting drivers!

Thanks Patrick, my problems are minor and the car will hopefully be up and running within a month or so. Your project seems pretty impressive! (and expensive!)

944er-teile.de

what do you want to see? got some cars and plenty of ideas I'm working on... there's a 944-1 which will be the new daily driver - for the moment this is a 944 turbo convertible, got the yellow 968, a 1987 turbo cup that has to be rebuild completely and a 1977 924 that I want to rebuild with a S2 engine and single throttles... some pictures are on my homepage: www.944er.teile.de - but got much more if you want to see something special. I have a small shop in germany (for the admins: I don't want to sell anything in here!) and mainly active in a german forum about the 4cylinder transaxle types: www.mytransaxle.de

Edit: forgot one - also got a 924S with 951 engine, unfortunately the engine is just out as it got some kind of grand canyon in the surfaces

That's great Darwin. Hopefully by the time you're finished the weather you guys have been hammered by is clear enough to drive the car! Looks like it's been a very heavy Winter for our Northern Hemisphere cousins. As for costs...well you will notice the new name of my 'racing team' in my sig. All tongue in cheek of course but, yes, expensive. I don't want to die wondering...

944er, you should do a thread with your cars and projects. I'm sure I speak on behalf of many of us around here when saying that we love to see all the various projects from around the world can be fascinating. Having said that, feel free to toss a few up in this thread too.

Patrick, that's a pretty impressive list.

My plans for 2011 are:

Early in 2011
Race seat (received, now install)
Harness and Harness bar
New rod bearings
New knock sensors

Later in 2011/2012
Supercharger for S2
18" Oz Alleggerita wheels and Hankook TD tyres
Front D9 splitter
Lexen rear hatch

Same as last year....finish putting together the car and drive it before I decide to buy more stuff for it. If I do anything else it'll be suspension.
Once the 951 is running I can start swapping my AAN into my Coupe Quattro and put the 7A on the stand and build it...and one day put it in the 951...

333pg333

Eric, which race seat did you wind up buying? Did you manage to find out what offsets those OZ wheels come in? I'm thinking of a new set but can't quite find what I need.

I think the s/c will be great judging by Dubai944's videos!

BMW: Going to time trial it next year with NASA so it will get the sparcos from the porsche and a rollbar. Add data acquisition of some sort.

Porsche: Revalve the Bilstein Escorts to something softer and put leather seats back in and enjoy it.

JohnKoaWood

Thanks Patrick.. I am hopefull it will come together sooner or later...

few pics for a tease..

So John, does that bar mean that you have removed the stock alu bumpers permanently? I have been tossing up this idea but having had a few crashes I think I'm going to keep the stock one even though they're pretty heavy. Possibly saved my motor from serious damage in the most recent incident.

I'll be interested to see what you come up with for the dash too. Something unique no doubt. Mine will be pretty prosaic but functional. Amazing how much the stock one and all the heater components and wiring weigh!
