Damn, that sounds like a fast car!!
There are a couple of us around the Tempe/Gilbert area. I am in Awatukee. There's another guy around here that has an S2 with those same polished 928 wheels. Let us know if you need anything  Cheers, Keith

Yeah, Im still breaking in the fresh engine. Keeping the bost down, and taking it easy. Cant wait to bump it up to 15 psi. The KW setup grips like crazy too. Highly recommend KW.
Really appreciate the offer. Once shes broke in, have to do a local 951 g2g or something. Ever seen what a difference .5 liters makes?

Nice thread nize. I considered doing a 2.8 stroker when I started my 3.0. My overall goal, was more power less boost. Don Jackson enterprises did the build here in Phx, block was shipped off to lindsey to drill for sqirters.

Beautiful and it looks like a "normal" 951 way to scare the crap out of any honda on the street

i actually removed my 'turbo' badge so people not familiar with the model thinks it's a regular 944 n/a
i've had some non-car people mistaken it for a ferrari.

Gotta love sleepers. no one ever expects a 944 to blast past em like they do when theyre built right. Lotsa power with our handling. Its just tough to beat that without spending a very large sum of money. IMO New or used. A 951 with 350-400whp, its hard to beat that period. The handling is to this day some of the best. Some of us are drivers, and actually enjoy driving, not computers driving for us.

my exhaust tip is just a plain-jane pipe, nothing fancy but it's the full 3" all the way. you can hardly even see the muffler.
