  • Testing Waters 86 porsche 951/944 turbo

    Let me first say the is the most fun car ive ever owned. And that means a lot coming from me seeing as ive had 18 cars in the past 3 years. Some of the highlights being me e36 m3 as well as my 375hp 89 240sx and even my mk4 1.8t swapped mk3 jetta. But there is something about a porsche motor, especially a turbo porsche that makes you feel warm inside... actually boarderline moist. Anyway I have always wanted to own a porsche and now that i have ive been bitten by the bug and want to move on to a 911. So my project is incomplete but it runs and drives and like any car has its quirks here and there. But its got a true porsche turbo rumble, backfires all the time, and shoots flames occasionally


    *****(EDIT)*****
    I have decided to keep the car and finish it for h2oi and the wide body will be delivered in 5 days from today 8/21. I have also purchased a 1 owner 1989 porsche 944 non turbo with a missing ecu. Price may change on the car once i have done the body work and respray it red. But it will still be for sale after h2oi and if I get selected for fcf than the day I get back someone can have her. I do no intend to keep it after

    What ive done with the car in the past month and a half

    New front rotors and pads
    one new front passenger caliper ( 4 piston brembos all the way around)
    New front tie rod assemblys
    New front wheel bearings

    All for a total of $800 in labor and around $500 in parts

    I purchased the car with dented front fenders and quarter panels with pre meditated intentions. I was looking for a car I could wide body.

    The total purchase price for the front wide fenders and Le Mans rear Quarters comes out to around $1200 new.

    The driver racing seat in the car was purchased for $200 dollars

    Powder coated the faces of the wheels- $350

    The car was also chipped for $400 for a little bit more of a hp gain
    runs on 93 octane

    And the optional CCW Classic Leightweight racing wheels with brand new zero mile toyo proxys that im in for about $3000 will come with the car for the right price

    16x13 rears with toyo proxy 275/45s and the 16x11 fronts with toyo proxy 245/45s
    The wheels came from the famous slant nose that was breaking necks last year at h2oi

    I do not need to sell the wheels because my next car will be another porsche and they are 5x130 but it would be a nice extra chunk of cash towards my 911

    I know im forgetting some stuff but please feel free to ask me questions.
    The title is still in transit as this was a california car and when receiving a title from out of state it takes longer than when you title a car from ny.

    The 944 turbo is a rare car and they sell for $10,000 on a regular basis

    Car with ccws- $8,500
    Car without ccws- $6,500

    Keep in mind im into the car for $10,000+ and have no intentions on gaining money but I do want to put a down payment on a 911.
