My '95 coupe for sale
Well, there it is in the Rennlist classified. I do have mixed emotions about selling a car I like, but I suppose that's how anyone who sells a Porsche feels.

It's moving along. Charley A-Arms and Racer's Edge billet wheel hub spindles are on (or being installed this week). May take the car down to the Sebring club race/D.E. (driver's ed for me) in February for some road testing. Have to decide in another week or so.

Hi Jay,
Apparently a few 951/968 racers have experienced hub failures over the last few years. Take a look at the Rennlist racing/d.e. forum. To address this "problem", a couple of performance tuners/parts suppliers like Racer's Edge, are marketing their own wheel hubs. From what I understand these are machined from solid billet aluminum, rather than cast aluminum (as the factory M030 wheel hubs are). The R.E. hubs are reasonably priced too (about $395). So I've ordered a pair for the 968 race car. Karl at Racer's Edge is very nice and helpful.
Ciao.

Hey Rich -
The hubs sound like a good upgrade, as well as the Charlie arms - which I am planning do to this winter as well.
I am very jealous of a winter event!
Next step for me is cage. Lots of decisions to make...
Take it easy,
Jim

Clem,
You already have the Ledas (& appropriate springs?), so your suspension is just about set, no?
The Charley A-arms are a very good (albeit expensive) upgrade. But, the Charley arms are very difficult to source - I may have found the last pair (until Charley makes some more) on the east coast. OG Racing has the Fabcar A arms (they're about $500 less than the Charley arms) and, if you can wait a little bit, Racer's Edge will be selling rectangular steel A-arms that look like the Charley arms, but are VERY strong welded steel rather than the billet aluminum a la Charley. These are expensive too ($1,595/pair - same price as the Charley arms).
I'm sending you a PM.
Ciao.
