- I don't know - is it? Has anyone seen it around?
- Possibly, but it started out rough.
- What about bushes, steering, engine bottom end? Frankly average Koni Sport suspension?
- Agreed.
- Agreed.
Ed, In the current market I'd take £8k for mine. It already has harnesses it just needs a cage. I thought it was booked in for a full weld-in at Easter 2006, but the guy doing it didn't have the booking, then the engine blew in May and I didn't need a cage.
Brief spec:
Dunlop SuperSport Race tyres on genuine Cup1s
Spare 18" Cup 2 replicas with road tyres (I can't rmember what they are, Bridgestone maybe?) One rear needs a repair when my indie had a moment on black ice however.
KWv3 with torsions re-indexed, Lindsey adjustable top mounts, Weltmeister strut top brace
All bushes poly/graphite
Big blacks with 964 Turbo drilled disks front, standard rears with Performance Friction 97 pads all round. I was going to fit a set of 220 Turbo fronts to the back and there's an adjustable proportioning valve unfitted somewhere
Rear axle mounts renewed, everything painted while it was apart
Fuel lines replaced from front to tank with genuine parts
Brake lines over axle replaced
Ex-Porsche race series engine (Strasse built I believe) supposedly making 290bhp or so, removed from a 2007 season car that was converted to S2 power to go in a lower class
Not a lot of history on the engine, but belts etc. will be new when it's running again. Runs standard EMS with chip to suit. Not sure the wastegate but it has a black-knob boost controller
Air-con and PAS deleted.
Front fog/driving lights removed (parking light in clear indicator unit)
Lindsey stage 5 header panel (room for big IC underneath)
GRP bonnet (not fitted or painted)
Griffin custom radiator
Custom-fit oil cooler with thermostat
ESS front splitter in carbon finish
ESS (Van Zweeden?) 968 Turbo S rear spoiler with real CF centre section
968 CS mirrors (manual teardrops)
Electrics removed: windows, central locking, tailgate release, rear wiper, headlight adjustment & washers, all with proper blanks in holes. 10 speaker front speaker pack removed
Pair of Corbeau Sprint XL seats solid mounted to floor with aluminium rails
Sabelt 5 point harnesses - never used
Momo 085(?) deep dish suede rimmed wheel
Rear seat removed and lightweight carpeted over
Genuine 968 sill trims fitted with external fasteners
Original sills as it has never been rusty, and it's Waxoyled to try to keep it that way, and was pressure washed underneath before it was stored
Still to do:
Some tidying (routing the cable for the tailgate release, sorting door card where the speakers aren't etc.)
Fit a cage of some sort
Fit GRP bonnet
Remove / convert to manual sunroof
Look at the gearbox - it isn't noisy but the LSD will we ready for attention
Cane the backside off it round various race tracks
Bad points:
The windscreen is cracked through being clumsy when using a broom as a prop when the struts needed replaced (they have been now)
It's slightly scruffy as it's an ex-daily driver with the stone chips to prove it, and it has a scuff on the (recently painted [
]) front PU panelThere is a blistering stone chip at the top if the screen recess
There is a blister around the number plate lights - silver Hammerite is close enough in colour that I'd scrape it back and use that
It easily cost £20k on top of the car to get it where it is, probably more, so the 40% rule is being honoured!
If it was in the garage outside my house rather than 12,000 miles away I'd not even be offering it for sale, but given the choice between the cost and hassle of exporting it (especially when know I don't have much time to use it) vs. a reasonable amount of cash and knowing one (or more) of the 944 community were using it as intended I'd rather sell.
