Hi guys,

With spring here I'm getting the car ready for some big time upgrades

Here's a little taste of what came in the mail today:

i heard you have to do the timing belt every 30,000 or so on the 944s

[slinkie]

nice turbo...any mods on speed3

[m10-power]

Is that your black one out back with the 997TT wheels? Looks good, I am looking at an '88 turbo as well for the wife, great cars.

[Seahorsepower1]

Love the turbo, looking to get a 944/951 myself.

[Aaron@Tuner]

New wheels! Forged Enkeis.






18x8.5 +40 with 225/40R18 in the front
18x10 +58 with 3mm spacer and 285/30R18 in the rear

Here's a look at the old wheels. Pics courtesy of Dave @ Evolizephoto.




I'll be posting a writeup soon of the entire project's journey from somewhat stock to the 400+ whp monster it is now

400 horse eh. You've been busy. What turbo?

Also new wheels look great. No more rubbing?

Haha yeah. Solved a problem that was robbing me of a lot of power up top.

New rear wheels are 2mm less aggressive than before, no more rubbing.

Previous intake design was pretty poor and my air filter was actually collapsing and choking off my air supply under full boost above 5000RPM causing me to run really rich.

Just put in a Fabspeed 3" downpipe and tossed out my completely fouled spark plugs and just got my car track ready with race pads and new rotors

Those 997 wheels look a LOT nicer than I had pictured on a 944...

The new wheels are hot too.

[Skyline_Addict]

If I didn't know any better I'd say that this was a good looking and well-behaved car that is at your beck and call.

Lol, it's survived (kinda) 3 track days so far! I can get to 260kph on the front straight.

Meth kit going in on Monday

[Errol.]

This thing was a monster at the track!
Chased you around the corners then on the straight, wow thats all i can say

[nismodrifter]

Sickness. Been in love with 944's since I was a child....seeing a minty example modded properly makes me droooooool .

[Redlyne_mr2]

This is a very quick car. I would say it's close to the 430 scud in terms of speed on the straights.
