Well just wanted to do a thread hopefully I can have this done before x-mas... Base engine is a 2.2 t but being that I do cylinder head and turbo charger fab and high performance engine coating's I am sure I can get some extra power out of this esp. since I am not far from Jerry woods and German precision machine is now located at our old shop I am gonna take full advantage of my resources... Just went and picked this up today a little grimey but it ran before it got pulled.. I plan on taking full advantage of the current group buys and will probably end up using the elepahant racing oil cooling lines..

Yeah I thought I was gonna tear the engine apart and build it but I am just going to leave it as is and just put it in the car and get it running.. I need to finish this so I can start on the next project..

Did you just buy this car, or was it recently for sale? I really think it is great looking - and I am usually not a big fan of the 916 stuff. Fun to watch it come together! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
FANTASTIC long nose. Steel or glass body work? I really want an ST replica some day. Good stuff!! |

Got caught up working on my Dads Hot Rod.. SO I haven't done much Other then yank the fan off and blasted it to get ready for coating which should arrive today. I may end up going with the getty Carbon Fiber engine shroud even though I really wanted to make my own along with some carbon fiber engine tins..

Partial and full pans aren't that expensive from restoration design. If you're going to cut one out correctly, use the reproduction parts. Most of them fit like new. IMHO
