Let's get down low.
So it's all in for this 924S F Prepared build. An interesting development last weekend though. I drove this car over to the 944 Orphanage to get some used parts and Todd discovered that it has a 2.7L engine transplant. I wrote about that here...

I'm pleased with that discovery and I picked up some good parts. A 27mm front sway bar, a 17 mm rear sway bar with brackets and drop links, a 951 radiator and fan shroud and some 944S fuel injectors.
During the last week I spoke to a very knowledgeable source who said going to a 3 bar fuel pressure regulator and larger injectors is not that great an idea - it will just make the car run rich. He recommend simply having the stock injectors cleaned and flow matched which I've done before and it does make a difference. I'll also get a 24-pin DME chip made with the future performance mods added to the mapping (exhaust, light weight flywheel, etc.) specifically for the 2.7L engine.
Today I installed the rear sway bar, switched the front bar to the 27 mm, put on some rear Koni shocks that were on my 931, lowered the trailing arms and put on the 15" spider web wheels with Hancook RS-3. I also pulled of the rear bumper and hardware. I'll probably pull the front bumper also after road testing the new suspension.
