I've tried to help him with some questions he's had and be nice. It's just getting a lot harder to not laugh and be serious now that's he's posted pics...

I think he might be able to make it work - he obviously has a lot of work into it already...

The visuals though... you were good to overlook them...

I am speechless.... F'n speechless..

And to think, you guys have been helping him / egging him on..

F'n PVC to a blow thru AFM... and I really like the idea of exposed electrical terminals on the fuel pressure sensor setup...

and the idea of running a mixture of rubber and steel braided lines for oil circulation to the back of the car...

I'm f'n speechless....

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

You know it is obvious that his taste is quite different in the looks dept. He seems pretty young to me as well.

But.... if he truly can get some decent parts on there, and make some boost with a decent AFR ...would that not be better than a regular NA?? Especially with the condition of this car.

I mean for real here ....if he can show 5 psi at redline and it holds together it would be considered a success would it not, even though the car needs mucho help??

Imagine this being a junkyard wars, drag race contest between 2 944's ..one being an NA and the other what he has..which is going to win??

Personally, I am looking at it as an experiment for other listers who have nicer cars and more $$ for better parts.

why do you think i subscribed to the thread. i came from an fbody and have a soft spot for remote turbos. i'm going to watch from the comfort of rennlist.

(hope that 24s spoiler worked for you, i love the 944 one)
