I affectionately call this car the Ugly Duckling. The body has numerous battle scars BUT the heart of this car is that of a lion and the guts are second to none. I bought this car last year with the plan to make it my "learning platform". I spared no expense to make everything right mechanically but left the exterior untouched. My loss your gain is that I have decided I would rather race something that drives more like my Cayman R so I bought an F class Boxster S and now have 2 race cars which is one too many.

Current PCA logbook since I just raced at the Glen with video below.

2.7L Rothmann engine rebuilt by Bodymotion in 2013 less than 20 hours TT
Recaro Profi XL racing seat
2017 Schroth Profi II harness
AIM G-Dash with Evo 4 data logger
4L SPA Automatic Foam Fire suppression system
Tarett Engineering Swaybar and Drop link
Koni adjustable shocks
3 sets of wheels
brand new 2017 rain tires never used
2 sets Hoosiers brand new one heat cycle on each set
wide view mirror
custom dead pedal
new fuel line
new rotors front and rear with one race
Serpentine belt
distributor
ignition wires
plugs
4 new wheel bearings
2 new axles


The car was professionally maintained by Speed Sport Tuning of Danbury, CT where it is currently stored plus the car was driven and adjusted by Van Svenson and Simon Kirkby to optimize the setup.



Mind you I'm a rookie and don't ask why I was in the back of the pack for this race even though I qualified 5th of 12 in warmups, but I think you can see this car has what it takes to be VERY competitive. Data shows I was WAY under utilizing the tires and the car has an easy 2 secs better time in it and that is off my best time which is not shown in the video but was 2:20.2 at the Glen where a 2:18 pace would put you in podium competition. Most importantly people say "the car is ready to race" when in fact it needs new harness or new belts or new extinguishers, but not this car. I just raced 2 weekends ago. Buy this car and race next weekend

I will note that in the video the car breaks in lap 8 but all that happened was a 2 cent nut backed off the linkage to the clutch which is one of the 944/924 known weak points. Obviously the linkage has been replaced.

Thanks to both of you!

Yeah, from the outside she may not seem like much, but a savvy buyer could easily sell off the parts for more than the whole:

AIM G-Dash
3 sets of wheels
3 sets of new tires
Bodymotion/Rothmann 2.7L engine
Schroth harness
4L SPA Automatic Foam Fire system

and then there'd be all the misc car parts, but then again I truly believe in the right hands this car could be a podium winner as it once was under the capable control of its original owner Vito V. The one item I was considering that could really put this car over the top is a transmission with a limited slip. You can hear the poor open diff struggle in the video every time I take the hill in the toe of the boot.
