Love the rear spoiler and the flares. Great looking car!

Here's a few of mine. Haven't had time to return the front wheels to the original color yet (they take almost a full day each to strip and paint/sand/paint/sand....), so i've just been driving it!
I have a lower lip to install too. Just need more time...

^ Chris, are those the 18x8.5 front and 18x11 rear 996 turbo wheels? What tire sizes are you running on the front and back? It will look great once the fronts match the rears!

I have been busy w/ other projects and haven't done much w/ the 84 in the last year or so. I put a whopping 400 miles on it in the last 18 months. I did clean up a few things. I removed the Fiberwerks front end and had it reapinted then did a 3M clear bra on it. That big flat front is horrible for rock chips. The car still runs great. Nothing too exotic: 3 liter crank, Lindsey rail and regulator, all new belts, hoses, injectors, etc, MSDS headers, mini CAT that has been cleared out, stock muffler, I went back to a stock air box and K&N filter vs the cone and it seems to runs better when it's hot. I am running both a Schnell rear short shift and a SFR front one so the throw is maybe 3 inches. You literally never move your arm on the console. I got the R-134 conversion done and the A/C is actually respectable. Too many other previous thing to list. I also just stuck new hides on and the handling w/ the 17" wheeels, turbo sway bars, Koni Yellows, adjustable springs, etc is as would be expected.

Are the wheel arches from Broadfoot or GT racing? Looks very well put together. Did you do this or buy it like this? Post some more pics and mod list + how the dyno went.

Pretty much stock
 
Here's my mostly stock 944, which has been in the family since new.
I washed it more than I drove it back in the 80's, now I drive it more than I wash it!

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1282967288.jpg

The great thing about owning it now, is that I can do some of the things to it that I wanted to do years ago. But now, it is a completely different car compared to the modern competition, so I enjoy it more for what it is, than what I imagined it could be.

You can see a bit of smoke in the background from one of the latest lightning strike fire in the Bitterroot's - got caught in the lighting and rain last night on a mountain bike ride, and knew there'd be a fire or two (9 to be exact), the next day.

Thanks BP11 and yes, it's original. The photos don't do the car justice because when you resize the photos, to insert them into the thread, they appear grainy and clarity is lost. I was hoping that the shot that contains the reflection of the palm tree would help demonstrate just how amazing the paint is. That said, I'm not afraid to drive her. I try to avoid gravel and dump trucks the best I can. Most times I keep my fingers crossed.

Yes the headgaskets are our 'Archillies heels' on these cars. Plenty of theories abound as how to combat this. Many dollars spent searching. How much boost are you running and what mods on the motor again?
Can you give me a link to the place where you got the body kit from.

mrboost 09-03-2010 10:13 AM

We were just running 15Psi of boost unfortunately the cooling system of the car was not purged correctly which also help in in the head gasket issue. orderd the steam vent kit with cometic HG , putting in the car tonight. still have my fingers crossed. mods are 72#injectors, 951 max chip, 87mm maf with SMT6 piggy back, 3 inch exhaust from turbo back, 44 mm wastegate, pte 5252 turbo, ported and polished head (still has stock cams)greddy BOV, full Koni Rs suspension with M103 bars, i just want a clean 350whp. we are switcjing to E85map on the next session. hopefully everything holds together. porschpalace.com. you can also get itfrom broadfoot racing. thanks

That script "SS" on panzer909's car is the same script the Nazi SS used...maybe a little politically incorrect. lol

But then, many years ago, I used the same SS script on a 1967 Chevy Camaro SS 396....called it "SS RAT"
