nice job.....are those new engine pieces?(ex:housings, manifold, etc) or did you polish them? If so, how? It looks nice.

Well, that looks really good man!

Is that an inverter in the glove box to power a laptop that is talking to your microtech?

The powdercoated engine looks really good. Did you paint the calipers yourself?

What mods? Keep up the good work.

yep, its a 944 in the background, thats my baby, first car. im trying to sell her, and the 7 so i can get a 944 turbo. german engineering is where my heart lies.


haha, good eye, yep its a power inverter for the laptop, for the microtech. all i have as far as a laptop for my car is a old 333mhz that the batterys went dead years ago, and i would rather buy a inverter for 30$ than a new battery for a POS computer for 120$.


mods are as follows.

Engine
- 2,000 miles on freshly rebuilt motor
-- 3rd gen corner seals/springs
-- stock 3 piece apex seals
-- all new seals all around/in motor
-- K2RD block off plates
-- port matched intake manifolds/gaskets
-- street ported
-- electric radiator fan
-- full metal radiator
---- more stuff i just cant remeber now

ECU
- 2,000 miles on microtech LT8
-- 2bar MAP sensor
-- car has power inverter to go to AC power for laptop hookup

Driveline
-- new ACT street/strip full faced organic clutch
-- new ACT Xtreme pressure plate
-- new throw out bearing/front seals
-- new stainless steel braided clutch line
--- i got bored when i had tranny out and cleaned/polished some of it

Exhaust
-- ported wastegage, 10psi 1st/2nd gear, 12psi 3rd/4th/5th, no creep
-- 3' racing beat downpipe
-- 3' racing beat presilencer(makes a world of difference)
-- 3' corksport stainless steel catback
---- SOUNDS Amazing, very deep growl

Brakes
-- fully rebuilt front and rear brakes, with new pads, stops on a dime
-- stainless steel braided brake lines



do a search for my recent posts, car is forsale in the 2nd gen forsale section. thanks for the positive compliments guys.
