Parting 944 Spec Budget Build
 

With my old car back in operation, it's time to sell the remaining part from "Flipper" - the car from the "budget build" thread that I put on its roof earlier this year.

First up: Holy grail of 944 Spec transmissions: Short 5th trans, rebuilt 3 races ago, with rebuilt LSD at that time by Nick at Bennington Motorsports ("Many 944's"). With fresh Swepco fluid. I even rebuilt the linkage on the trans, so trans, LSD & linkage all rebuilt with only 2 weekends on it. Nicest one you'll find. $1,300.

85 Motor also rebuilt over the winter with 2 weekends + a Test & tune day on it. Builtby the same guy who built my '07 National championship winning motor that has raced 3 seasons w/o a hiccup. Torn down to the pistons & rebuilt with new:
-Rebuilt & shaved head
-Rings & bearings (even balance shaft bearings)
-Rings
-Belts & rollers
-Water pump & oil pump
-Cross-drilled crank (good clearance/no oversize bearings)
-Oil Pressure relief valve
-Block with excelent bores selected out of several we had
-951 oil cooler adaptor
-OEM Porsche AC delete bracket

This motor has one issue. It's oil pump will sporadically lose prime when it sits, requiring air pressure to reprime it and get pressure. It never loses pressure when runnning (through 5 races and a test & tune). We have replaced the oil filter, oil pump & OPRV. It may be that the press-in insert in the block for the OPRV is out of round. Running an Accusump system would make this a non-issue, or the insert could be replaced. Price reflects this: $ 2,250 (much less than the cost of a rebuild, with a lot nice parts).

Front hubs with new stainless steel brake lines, new slotted rotors, repacked hubs/bearings, and newly rebuilt calipers, with good Hawk DTC-70 pads (3/4 pad left). $250 each (will separate parts if interested).

Rear Aluminum Bannana arms with hubs, newly rebuilt calipers with stainless steel brake lines, new rotors & DTC-60 pads (3/4+ pad left) $200 each. (will also separate if there is interest)

Recaro SPG seat. FIA cert expires next year. Some wear, but solid, no tears. Some black duct tape on a high wear area. Includes side mounts, but not slider. $300.

May also be selling Cobra Suzuka S seat with side mounts (no slider), with FIA cert good through 2012 (not pictured). As new. $450.

New in box Sachs clutch & throw out bearing. $450

Longacre Camera Mount $50

Late gas tank - free if picked up(have ore than one)

5 solid & straight Cookie Cutter wheels. At 14.5 lbs, the best Spec wheel (new car is late-offset). $300

did flippers quarter panels survive?

Yes, but the tub is sold.

How much for the AC delete bracket and belt?

might be interested in the clutch parts.

do you have a manual rack for sale?

I have some great 944 turbo S rear quarters still on the car. Interested?

I used a converted power rack, as most of us do for its faster ratio. That one is available, but a previous rebuilt left it with a small amount of on-center play.

Not yet parting the motor, but we'll see, if it does not sell whole.

PM'd.

if you do take the motor apart id be interested in the 951 oil cooler stuf
