931 is such a cool car. Rasta’s former Fjord/Navy blue one is one that got me into my 924S.

(I realize Fjord was a BMW color. Not sure of the correct Porsche name … Glacier Blue, maybe?)

It was L97A (diamantsilber met) over LA5Y (heliosblau met).

Recommend 924board.org for help on your project. One prolific poster there doesn't know as much as he thinks, you'll figure out who. Otherwise #1 site for 924 knowledge.
Preciate that, buddy!;) Bless your heart.;)

Guys
Seriously considering doing a tribute to 924 gts
Although i am familar with all the mods needed
I had great fun with my outlaw 356 tribute to a 356gt

Anyone have experience with the mods and related details ?
Thanks
Frank

Thanks for all commentary, decided on a 81 924 Turbo….bought yesterday!
It will need restoration so will need assistance & guidance
Just finishing a nut/bolt 4 year restoration of a 71 911 so can handle all mechanicals
But getting familiar with the 924 will be the next step.
If anyone has factory repair Manuals would be interested

Hope for a fun learning experience
Thanks
Frank
congrats.
it will be (almost) a cakewalk if you restored a pre-galvanized 911.
I didn't have any repair manuals. i found almost all my information on Clarks-garage.com, rennlist 944 forums, pelicanparts forums, and Lindsey Racing's website.

Seems my 924 turbo has a bad clutch…
Haven’t studied any repair manuals yet but
Whats involved
Engine out ?

Also my budget for more HP is $3000
Would like some ideas
Thanks
Frank

That's a can of worms. Best way to increase power is to increase boost, which is made easier by the addition of an intercooler. Good chance this will lead to head gasket failure, though.

Clutch could be an opportunity to pull the motor, reseal all leaks, replace the HG with a performance unit, and rebuild the turbo. Ceramic coatings help as well.

Having been down this road (931 owner for 15 years) I can tell you that there's nothing cheap about hot rodding one of these cars. It is a long and painful process. I wish I had just started with my 2.5 engine swap.

82 sportsc 07-29-2022 03:39 AM
Sounds like that process might nit fit the budget ….
Guess will need to find the issues with engine out and investigated

Been reading that fiberglass panels for gts or gt are not the best solution due to cracks
Mine will not be raced but spirited driving for sure .

Are poly panels better any recommendations
Thanks
Frank
