Says it all for me. Whilst it's incredible to read what people do to the cars, I can't imagine why you'd own something that begs to be used, and not use it at least a little bit!
Am I unusual in actually struggling to keep under the 6K miles limit on my classic insurance? I only use the car for weekends, evenings and the odd longer run, and it's often left at home when we need to take dogs, luggage, tools etc., yet I still can't restrict it to the 5K that would be cheaper.

No you ar are not alone Paul if I didn't have the 944 to fall back on, if you can call driving a fantastic rare turbo cab falling back, I would easily exceed to 6k on my 996. Luckily my 944 has unlimited mileage as in a std non classic policy . I had the 996 out the yesterday in the dank and bloody hell talk about charge density!

Thx for linking it Simon,
J.C - i think many people have spent more money and achieved much less of a result, my gut feeling is this project was engineered by a "Cosworth" expert and when the clever detail engineering is applied to the M44/5x the results speak for themselves.
Perhaps there will be a new era of 951 tuning, where our cars trade some torque for a greater spread of power. Nice thought.

George , are you referring to the Red 944 with the V8 Turbo engine on the link I posted ? Or the white S2 mate ?
I thought the Red 944 was a little overcooked ? just a tab !
I like the white S2 Turbo , it rocks mate !!! I have wanted to build a 3.0L Turbo for a while and if things go to plan next year ,
I may indulge or go to Syria for a battle , not sure yet

JC, i'm referring to the link Simon put up
A V8 in a 951....why..... when a compact, light, reliable, simple, inline 4 can make such power?
If someone had the wit to do this work back in the day, the 951 model would have been unstoppable.
