Tom wrote: Fri Jul 23, 2021 9:51 am I always find driving my 951 helps remind me why I like it. :) But I'll admit I go through ups and downs with it too, especially when other cars/projects crop up. What's going on with that throttle body bracket? And do you have any issue with the long intercooler tube blowing loose under boost? When I switched over to that type of pipe, I just couldn't keep it from blowing apart eventually, so ended up adding these boost braces. I bought these, but they'd be easy enough to make...

Great pics gents!

I have also had issues through the years with IC pipes popping off so made brackets to keep them in place. I only had the issues on track or at autocrosses when the engine moves around alot and throttle is alot on and off compared to Street use.
Like Thom suggested really clean surfaces is important.

Jay I like your "kevlar look"!👌 I just added satin clearcoat and black porsche lettering on my 968 Turbo S/RS replica strutbrace.

Stunning engine! More pictures of the car please. :)
Not a 951 but a transaxle Turbo.

Missed this thread. I have 2 89 cars. One red, one black. The red one I've owned since 2010 and unfortunately took a back seat to my S4 twin turbo swap project and is sitting with the engine out currently. The black one I just bought in 2020 and have less than 200 miles on it and it blew the head gasket. Fun stuff.

Love the CS wheels - the anodising looks remarkbaly fresh on both cars, congratulations.

That red '89 looks awesome, and I'm generally not a fan of red cars.

Thanks, the red one has the diamond cut raw finish, could use new center caps. The black one has powder coat on them.

They both look great. The black one is particularly sinister looking. :)
