944 Turbo Carbon Project

[Jan K]

The car was bought on Saturday with the idea of using it for drifting and weekend fun on the track.
On the sunday (pics 1)we had the first ride! The car had worn shockers and the car was full of fleas that had my legs bitten !!!!???:o

After this experience I decided to do something a bit more seriously ..
Thats why I started to pull the car down to bare metal completly (the texas chainsaw massacre).


Step 2
Get ridd of inecessary stuff.

Step 3
Making moulds.
I had a Idea again!:rolleyes: Why not make a compelate Carbone fiber body?
As we are using carbon fiber to work with the ideas we had that we could try one of the lightest of the 951 ever.
That bright idea (but laborious).
Makin of first positive mould of the 4cm more wider rear fender with air in/out let's

Very GT2 look, I like it! :icon_thumleft:

[Jan K]

That was the idea.
I dont like to much to tranform cars if its not do gain performance and in this case is because of that we gone put two water radiators in the same posision as the 911 has (one one eache side) and a more freeflow to a big intercooler in the centre.

Front carbon fender (1kg) and hood 3.3kg

One problem of making the car lower is that the mainshafts loose the angle and break down.
I have made a new gearbox support (-1.5kg) this brings the whole gear box up 60mm and this way the car recover the angle between the gear box and the wheels.
The gear shift axle is now running over the transmission tunnel instead of in the interior as std one.
By the way I modified the making a home made short shift.

As the car is gone run with two water coolers one of each side we needed big air intake for them. In the centre goes just a big intercooler.
The idea is keepa Porsche look at it.
