Dan,
What wheels are on your 951? They look similar to the ones on my car. Andyrew, That's quite a list you have. I just finished a turbo upgrade on the 951 that took me all winter (dyno'd 303 rwhp / 289 ft-lbs untuned @ 15 psi - pump gas). Guess I work too slow. With a list like yours I would be years away from getting done. Makes me wonder if I'll ever get finished with my teener. Keep posting updates on your thread - it gives me incentive to keep going with my car. (IMG:http://www.members.shaw.ca/erikdumas/944%20montana%20front.jpg) |

How much rear sway is ideal - maybe a rear sway bar is in order??

Sway is not the problem, but understeer.
I have a rear stock sway bar (suposedly they increase the spring rate ~40 lbs) I just have plans on making custom mounts, and droplinks... The wheels on his stock car are DP wheels from japan or something. They look nice, and are not to heavy. Recently referbushed... The pic that i have is big... so heres a link to the pic. http://members.rennlist.com/dan10101/image...05/PA290028.JPG Andrew |

QUOTE(Andyrew @ Jul 12 2004, 06:53 PM)  Lifter w/o cleaning, Look at the wear, Can I still use these? It is always a good thing to replace the lifters. They aren't that expensive and will releive alot of worry in the end. |

I got to wondering what Andyrew was doing with his car project after 2005 and thought I would bring the thread into current view. Andy, if you are still involved, can you give an update?? Send me an email if you have time since I will be in the Modesto area in the first part of May. Hope you are still working on the car as a hobby.

Andrew, it was great to finally meet you in person at the WCR2010 and talk more about your car. Thanks to Andy's new "Restoration" thread I saw yours and decided to read. Between it and the "hotrodder" thread, it was quite a read and journey you've been on with your car.
One of the things that poked at me was the value of using "manifold" vacumm over ported carb vacumm. I know my car has both ports for above and below the throttle plates. I suppose that below the plates would be equivalent to the "manifold" vacumm. Still want to see your car in person! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Thanks for the kind words!! Its interesting to me reading this thread from many years ago, There are a couple of things that I would have done differently and certainly some of those things I will incorporate into my new build.
I'll be starting a new build thread when I start with the new engine, it should be very interesting to see the comparison! |
