Oldskl60 Posted 26December, 2017 Report Share Posted 26December, 2017 Hi Guys My uncle purchased a white 1987 944 turbo a couple months back and has started to play with it a little. We’ve gone the ‘baby steps’ (just wanting a street car that can do a club event once or twice a year) LR route with A-Map, fuel reg, boost enhancer and WG shims. We have been impressed with the results but as usually it highlights other areas that need attending too. We have new Koni yellow adjustible shocks to fit (front and rear) and while we are at it we think it needs some firmer front springs and possibly larger sway bars. Has anyone got a set of heavier springs or s/bars lying around they’d like to sell? We are also chasing the following to help finish it off if anyone has anything they’d part with: - Rear bumper tow hook plug - middle elbow for alternator duct (last bend before the alternator shroud) - 2x black centre console switch deletes - turbo air box or just top lid - wastegate bracket (around torque tube Any advice or assistance greatly appreciated. Kind regards Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timm Posted 26December, 2017 Report Share Posted 26December, 2017 My airbox and wastegate bracket will be available soon (in a month or two) after I convert to standalone ecu and after market wastegate...if you haven't gotten anything by then.

OzJustin Posted 27December, 2017 Report Share Posted 27December, 2017 In case you decide to purchase directly from Porsche, these part numbers might help for a couple of those cheap items. They're on my 'to buy' list too. Rear tow hook cover - 951.505.349.00 Centre console switch blank - 944-613-259-02-1DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted 27December, 2017 Report Share Posted 27December, 2017 This is the most common sway bar upgrade. It's common because it's the best sway bar upgrade you can do for a street car. https://www.lindseyracing.com/LR/Parts/944SWAYMO30.html After that, you'll be looking at these https://www.lindseyracing.com/LR/Parts/944SWAYBARTARETT.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzJustin Posted 28December, 2017 Report Share Posted 28December, 2017 I'm running the 968 MO30 sway bars on my S2 and can attest to them being excellent for a street/track car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly Posted 15January, 2018 Report Share Posted 15January, 2018 I have a Weltmeister adjustable front sway bar (like attached pic) which I have been running on my car for ages. I'm contemplating selling it to offset the $1300 cost of bringing in a light weight Tarret front sway bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buchanan Automotive Posted 15January, 2018 Report Share Posted 15January, 2018 Hi Kelly, We have fitted a few of those Tarrett sway bars and can attest there is nothing light about them. They are just as heavy if not a little more then those aftermarket solid 30mm units. The best unit i have seen was made by Paul at evolution motorsport for Patricks time attack car, It was a hollow bar with blade ends. message Patrick and see if he has any pictures Regards Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have been pretty unhappy to discover that the hard way. Cheers Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
