Tommy has been busy doing a belt job on his 951... I went along today, and swapped my intercooler (again) (see the earlier ic mod thread..). Was quite nice, and the weather was great (which is a good thing as you'll see).


We were over at a friend's (=Sebastian) place on the countryside, about a half an hour drive from where I live. He's importing cars from Germany all the time (it's usually cheaper than getting one locally), so his garage keeps changing all the time... that black 951 was meant to be a daily driver, but somebody really wanted to buy it, and of course everything is for sale if the price is right So it's getting an oil change, a belt job and what not prior to the sale... Tommy's 951 is on the right.


Tommy going after some power steering hose on Sebastians other 951 (he bought that car while we were visiting the factory last summer)


Still a lot of stuff to do here


"race look" (not a permanent modification) (that's my header panel if you were wondering)


We gots them intercoolers

(to be continued)

 

And here's my car getting the "new" IC (my old core after modifications)


Your's truly doing some lame wrenching over there. Excuse the jalopy


Black car almost done now...


We needed more space in the "garage" so out this went..


Tommy having lunch

(to be continued)

 

Hmm, now what do we have in here..?


A 928 GTS waiting for some engine work


Another 928 stopped by too


Sebastian showed off his modified 930... that bastard

 

Sami, I have to say one thing........

SCUMBAG! (j/k)

I was actually all ready to go on my engine swap, but I got laid up with a bloody cold! Now I'll have to wait another week!

Looks like you've had fun today. Keep it up!

 

Cool pics!

Sam

 

Nice pics ... Yous guys all have the same wheels or what ?!

Isn't the GTS Erkka's car ?

 

Yepp, it sure is

 

yup, we had a fun day..
but we still have a lot of work to do with my car..
the belts, IC, front brake pads, clutch cylinder..

Now we well have a couple days off.
Story continues on Tuesday.

And yes, we all have the same wheels here in Finland

 

Why cant I live in Scandanavia!

Christian

 

Seems to me you guys managed to do everything OK since my "Hot line" phone didn't rang during the week end

 

Looks like a dream I had once...
"There's a place in the deep woods, not known to most men, where Porsches graze peacefully..."

What's the scoop on the intercooler mod? Looks like just the ends were enlarged, have you had it flow tested?

 

It's basically the same thing Lindsey racing does (they might have some super trick way of re-shaping the end tank, but the main idea is the same here). We haven't flow tested it and are probably not going to, at most we're trying to get some before/after intake air temperatures measured...

 

You can see from the pic that we are already at "Evolution Stages"
From the left Sami's Gruppe951 Stage II cooler.In the middle is my Gruppe951 stage I and the last one is the original item.

 

yup, everything went pretty well; but I'm sure that we will have some
issues, when we really start taking parts away from my car. And we will
change more stuff into my 951 than we did to that black one.
So Olli, be prepared..

Yup, there was definitely some evolution going on between those IC.
And we still will do some modifications differently,
so my IC will be Gruppe951 Stage III

Hopefully it will be as nice weather tomorrow as it was during the weekend.

 

... you wouldn't happen to have someone named 'Skeeter' round them there parts, would ya? =) j/k... I like the intercooler mods you guys did. I'm interested to see the results.
