wet road, old tires, worn lsd.

I would expect a slight variation in the corrected numbers, toward the higher side.

Of course, if you want higher readings, you can always cool down your intake with ICE before and during a glory run. LOL.. (Will show higher numbers, but I don't recommended it as you can't run ice on the intake in real world conditions).

Hey John, how is life treating you? It has been a while..

Were you running a stock K26 or a "cheater" K26?

fast951

A k26/6 with 300rwhp?

porshhhh951

It's sitting here under my table. I suppose I could take a picture. It's never been taken apart to my knowledge.

I've been good John. Bought a couple of cars since we last spoke but, nothing to fill that go fast void that has been created. Do you know how my old kit is doing? Was he able to bring it back to life?

You miss the 951 don't you? As I recall, the new owner of your car made contact some time ago. His plan was to put it back together.. Never did hear back from him. I hope he's driving it, it was one of the prettiest and nicely setup 951.

There was certainly a lot of money in that car. I don't really miss the 951 no. I will always have a fondness for them but, I've moved on. My next Porsche will probably be a 911 turbo. I'm in no hurry. Once we finally move I'll work on a toy.

At least the dailies these days come with 385hp and heated seats, I'll suffer through it somehow

Wet pavement, narowish all weather tires (I realize a 265 is far from narrow.. but on a 10 inch wheel it looks stretched IMHO), LSD is functioning well within spec (yes I checked it).

My recomendation to him is better summer rubber, or better /wider tires.

Last time I drove my 951 below 60 degrees, it was almost uncontrolable due to the Summer tires...

for some reason this comes to my mind

I already tried to get Brian to commit to the paint scheme, but for some reason he is hesitant to commit!

BTW, like the new avatar!

Yes, I have initiated negotiations to become a small business sponsor, hopefully I'll have it before father's day so I can have some killer specials for that day. Like "50% off give your daddy a heart attack"

JohnKoaWood

Good to hear, hope this means things are settling down for you somewhat out there?

lart951

Yes, I thanks God I will be fine.

That is a very early opening wastegate for a k26/6 at 16.5 psi.
Everything must be close to perfect.

Don't touch that car.
