The wheels fit the car nicely. One clean Porsche!

my dad had some nice 944's yours is so clean though, refinish the OZ with bigger lips and bam perfection in my opinion

I've been through this entire thread, and don't recall details on the suspension setup. I'd like to get mine to the same ride height as yours, roughly. Are you doing all this on the OE M030 Koni's up front, and stock torsion bars in the rear? Have you re-indexed the torsion bars? My 951 handles like a boat on the stock stuff... wondering if I need to go full coilover.

Yeh its mo30 koni fronts with a lower springs from avo and rear is re indexed bars from a turbo . Also has 968 sway bars.

I love this thing so much. Beautiful car.

Great looking car. I have a friend that has one as well but I just can't seem to get him interested in builds like this even though the car has so much potential. Keep up the good work.

Excellent. How does it handle? Mine feels soft... hopefully it'll stiffen when I re-index and lower it.

Also wondering if you're still using the stock NA transmission? I understand they do not like the power of the 951 motor, and the ring/pinion grenade in short order. How's yours holding up?

The weak gearbox thing is internet chatter, I drive this like I stole it, I give it shit on launch often, gearbox doesn't care just makes it quicker. The suspension is solid. It handles better than most cars on the road. If yours is soft it may have worn shocks, when I had a stock one it was still quite firm. If you do shocks, sway bars and torsion bars and drop it like this it wil be like a 968cs. Thanks for the coments guys.

That's great news for me! My stock 951 open trans is shot and I need a new one... there is a LSD trans in my local car with only 76k on it right now for $250. I was hesitant to pick it up based on all the noise about the 'weaker' 944 trans. I'll give it a run, thanks for getting back.

Hi, I just read your thread and I have a 944 as a first project, still haven't driven it yet, we keep hitting roadblocks. I've had it running on 3 cylinders and it ran for about 5 minutes. It is almost done and after reading your thread I have so many ideas for this car. You are running a Na engine that has been turbocharged correct? I heard that the bottom end of the engine isn't strong enough for that. Any problems noticed? Also I love the wheels you are using, sadly I cannot find them here in the USA
Best of luck on this beast.

How much would you say you have into it thus far. I'm inspired and want to start making a budget

@thelyinglink
N/a egine is exacly the same aside from the pistons, so if you use turbo pistons bottom end is no worrys.
The wheels are pretty rare in this fitment anywhere tbh, it took me a long time to find them, and if your car is made 1987 or later you need different offset and cannot have the big dish.

@henry4hsr
No idea, and im not sure I want to know haha.

You should defiantly make a build thread here at SW!

Sumpcrackers thread is a really good source of inspiration
