This is a 83' Callaway Turbo that I just bought, but it does have a fresh 86' 951 long block along with a K28/8 turbo and many more goodies alomh with other unique pieces and history.
Take Care Everyone! All of your cars are gorgeous!!

The 83' still retains the Callaway duct setup with the turbo on the pass. side and manual wastegate as well, and is controlled by a TEC2.

4G64 944, if the question you asked about the rims is directed towards me... they are Fiskes. Those in particular are 17x8 F, and 17x10 R, with 245/45-17 F and 275/40-17 R. Thank you for the compliment!

I really love the staggered look on the early cars too! I just do not like the later offset look all that much. Thank you for the compliment!

How does a k28/8 fit in? Any issues? I love the bonnet and header panels Charlie! Am in the process of doing that myself.

Pretty tight I imagine!! I just got the car here Monday last week, and I have been busy with doing belts on my 84. Thank you!! I really love the look myself too! I have to do belts on the Callaway as well due to age (6years) and only 2k miles since the rebuild. When I get underneath it I can let you know if you would like. The TEC2 does need to be tuned some, so I have to famaliarize myself with that as well.

Some more details on it: orig.30k miles, Auto Power RollCage, LSD, Koni Yellows, larger torsion bars, 250 front springs I believe..maybe heavier? Weltmeister sway bars, OMP drivers seat, HKS EGT w/memory, and HKS Boost w/memory, VDO oil temp, VDO numeric H2O, and VDO oil pressure.
Crossdrilled rotors and some pads that scrub in faster than M*A*S*H nurses!! I am really looking forward to some track time, and getting it tuned right!

Thank you again for the compliments!!
Take Care!

Definitely unique! But aren't raspberries Red? ..... a bit too strong on the purple for my taste in house colours, but better than pink

Then again I shouldn't talk, my LR is Dk Blue, office is Apricot, bedroom is Dk rose and Kitchen is yellow. People say I have too many mirrors and lights as well which makes them dizzy .. lol.

Default P.S.

P.S. ... see my P car link in my sig for my pics.

In case you have signatures turned off ... My 951 Pics

Btw, nice cars everyone. It's interesting to see how small differences alter the cars appearance. I also like the custom speaker work on Dfastest. They blend in to the door panel very well.

Every raspberry I've ever seen is red, but go figure. I like the look of bright, contrasted colors on old homes - the "painted lady" look. I'm looking to buy an old Italianate apt building to refurbish. Should I paint it "Raspberry Touch" as well?
