Parting my 1986 944 Turbo - race car
Switching to SP2, parting my car. Toutes les pièces relatives au turbo/exhaust/DME/MAF/hard pipes sont à vendre. Les Big Brakes, les roues, le G2X .
Everything is still in the car, will remove as per requested parts. Je vais commencer à défaire les pieces en septembre:
• SpeedForceRacing (SFR) Turbonetics TURBO: 800$, inclut le pied;
• SFR 3" downpipe: 200$:
• Complete SFR 321SS Stage 2 header with 2 piece cross over pipe and Tial 38mm wastegate, ceramic coated, double slip fit: 2350$;
• SFR aluminum hard pipes with Tial 50mm BOV: 450$;
• SFR stage 1 intercooler: 150$;
• Vitesse MAF + DME chip: 850$ (can come with injectors resistors + flowed match injectors for 200$ more)
• 4 inch exhaust with straight pipe and muffler: 400$;
• Saikou michi catch can: 50$;
• Powdercoated intake manifold (red): 200$;
• Big Black brake kit, with PFC97 pads, brand new rotors: 1150$;
• Racepak G2X: 700$;
• Fikse 17*9 et 17*10 (may include hoosiers if desired – at a cost): 1700$;
• LATE OFFSET Cup1 wheels 17*9, needs to be repainted to look good (race car ok): 450$;
• Jongbloed 17*9 et 17*10: 1950$;
• Miscellaneous tiny bits like turbo boost controller, turbo boost gauge, EGT, AFR...
Later on, when I’ll remove the engine, the following parts will be available:
• 2501CC steel sleeved block only : 500$, 750$ with ARP studs;
• Fiorano ported head: 800$;
• Shotpeened rods: 550$;
Will maybe sell the knife-edge crank and the Fidanza flywheel too.

SP2 my friend!!! The goal that I had when I started racin' was to become a better driver as I felt I was on a plateau just doing DE's (that is personal, though). But when you race and there is only 2-4 cars in your category, it's boring, especially if you're running at the front. SP2 is relatively cheap and there are plenty of cars on track. Minimum 12. We were 28 at the Glen, 26 last years at the Nationals. We'll be 20 at the Fall Classic. That is great. And I get my a$$ kicked. So it forces me to go outside my mental limits if I want to be quicker.
And with a low horsepower car, you really learn how to drive. Just like 4 stroke karts. You make a mistake and BAM, one or 2 guys are passing you by. It forces you to concentrate really hard and push the enveloppe. So when I'll grow up, I'll able to drive a 400-500hp car properly, if I ever do so.
I had a conversation with Rick Bye, and he told me that the most fun he had was when he was driving low HP cars. I've never driven a high HP car, but I can tell you that I have lot's of fun driving my 130hp 924! Even if it's slower than the other 944Cup cars, it makes me fight. I'm getting closer to the limit of the car. I may be 1-1,5 seconds off now. We'll see next weekend. I will try to make 2'01 with car #56 and 1:57 with car #55.
