Take a look at what's posted on L & N's website.....

Yep. Charles and I gathered data together and I did quite a bit of his dirty work..

The difference is he'll take the time to argue with people about a battle that can't be won, I won't :-)

Thats great info.

Jake, are you going the wrong way through turn 1 in your first pic?

A track? What's a track? Oh oops, the island powers that be took that word and land out of our vocabulary and life a few years back. I forgot, never mind

If you dont mind losing the instrument cluster you can. Not sure of the fab work from a eng/trans bolting up standpoint (probably not much IMO) but all the electrical will be a nightmare if you try to make everything work like before.

are there any tracks in HI?? (I mean the kind you pay to drive on with instructors and stuff )

Pac996

Not on Oahu. Maui has at least a drag track. Maui might have a road course but I'm not sure. The Barbers Point track here on Oahu USED TO HAVE aspahlt road track, drag strip, dirt bike track and oval dirt track for cars. The track that closed did have instructing guys offering help.

I think even the little cone games in the big parking lot of Aloha Stadium got closed down. I also think the game is to have an unmarked enough car to be with a guy when he breaks 100mph so that the police can have the car since one 30 over or 100 is automatic confiscation of vehicle. It helps when the clowns put a 45mph section on a 60 mph H-3 hwy when the section can easily be done at over 100mph just rolling down the hill. Retards acting corrupt rings a bell. Some guys have some major bucks tied up in cars for track and strip

note to self.... change of plans, dont think about moving to HI any more

Barn996

I think I'm seing double

If I were you, I'd just take that IMS right out altogether. Those damn things are nothing but trouble.

My 996 has been used exclusively on the track for the past 4 years. X51 oil pan seems to take care of the oiling issue pretty well, and the third radiator allows it to handle the Texas heat. I don't think you really need the third radiator for DE's, but it's not a bad idea. 996 engines may be more fragile than the 993/964 ones, but those engines grenade also, and the cost to rebuild a 964 engine can be as much or more than replacing a 996 engine. These cars are very fast, and very honest handling track cars.

Someone needs to buy Jake's car either as a DE car, or better yet, complete the transformation and make it a Spec996!

Really!? I would have thought a new crate 996 or 964 engine would be pretty similar .. or perhaps the 964 would be even less without all the water-cooled systems stuff.

Jake Raby

I've had two inquiries today from people wanting to make it into a spec 996. I'd like to keep it, but I have too many cars already and my Wife wants to build an LSR early 911.

Isn't it an X51 car ?

Jake Raby

Nope!! Its just a standard 3.4 with lots of development into the tune and subsystems. It makes as much power as most X51s I have experienced...
