Very nice progress! That exhaust does look pretty mean. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) |

It’s a stinger style but does have some muffling in it which supposedly will keep under restricted track DB levels. It is not quiet. At all.

Great way to start 2026. Wonderful build. Is there an ending to the story of your ownership? Best Wishes Holt

Funny how these descriptions get scripted;
'MSDS megaphones on the exhaust system' Yes on the ceramic coated headers/ No on the MSDS megaphones: haven't manufactured those in 4 decades (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

The 2.4-liter flat-six was built in 2025. It is based on a magnesium 8R case sourced from Porsche Classic and has 10.2:1-compression JE pistons, LN Engineering Nikasil cylinders, twin-plug heads from Xtreme Cylinder Heads in Florida, and rebuilt triple-throat PMO carburetors. The car has not been raced since the ~$50k rebuild
