BlitzKonig Posted 21December, 2016 Report Share Posted 21December, 2016 God Chris, you really know how to put a car together! Great choices all round, loving the splitter and the wheels, well you know my Japan X Germany love is strong, realised I missed you at the last C&C Regarding the wheel size disclaimer, I see this also from a weight factor, having more mass acting on the suspension components. If it was related to sidewall height and therefore increased stiffness of said sidewall, would that mean, you could never run a slick tyre on the factor wheels? as they would be stiffer than factory advised?Also amen to RPF1 in 5x130 PCD, would make my day.

Thanks Ferd! There are a few Japanese wheels that suit the old Porsche's. I saw your car drive in at the last meetup but didn't stay too long... it looks oh so fresh in that colour scheme and really stands out on the road, love it I would guess it's a combination of factors... weight, tinner side walls, lack of suitable 18" tyre options and protecting their asses legally etc. Picking up the 17" RUF wheels with 255 tyres, the te37 with 295s felt noticably lighter. The car is also more responsive and direct on turn in and the overall grip level is hugely improved.Put me on the list for some rpf1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port 911 Posted 24December, 2016 Report Share Posted 24December, 2016 That was sold to Buchanan Automotive about a year ago. I think there are a few that would have loved to get that motor, me included, but I didn't have my 944 then, great looking car, would love to see it in the flesh. I seen photos of a 944 with a V6 in it, but a 5.7lt Ls1 is wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port 911 Posted 25December, 2016 Report Share Posted 25December, 2016 The one I spotted had a Buick v6 in it, & it was for sale on Carsales. I think it was from around Newcastle somewhere. It was before I was in the market to purchase, just looking as you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_f Posted 30December, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 30December, 2016 Timm and I shared the camera and took some photos of our 944's over the Christmas break. The black face, polished lip meisters work a treat on the white car. Thanks to clutch-monkey and MFX for suggesting black bolts for the front splitter... much less distracting!

The commodore v6 would have to be one of the most tragic engine notes there is. It sounds worse than a cow in labor, especially when coupled to the auto box. I can't believe anyone would want that boat anchor in their Porsche, let alone pay 10 grand for it.Chris's v8 on the other hand....hhnnggg the noise is orgasmic, and the power is awesome. Hopefully there's no one on here with a v6 swapped 944...I don't want to cause any offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Corki now just imagine a supercharger on the LS1 Just a quick question, in regards to rego, did you have to get it engineered, dont think you would get it regoed in nsw. In regards to the v6, was only saying I had seen one on car sales, I would sink 10k into a nice 944 motor before I would drop a v6 onto a nice 944 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Queensland this is the basic guide for legal engine choices. It may still be possible to register the LS1 in NSW and other states, but they all do have slightly different regulations. In QLD a 6.5L Naturally aspirated motor would be legal based on the S2's kerb weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_f Posted 20May, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 20May, 2018 I finally have my license back and have decided to keep the car for now... Just a few pictures to show off the new exhaust. It's a bit tidier and slightly quieter than the old setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
