    Anyone want a widebody 951?

    quoted from a local forum. shell is located in Rochester, NY

    PRICE: $6,500 / negotiable

    Description Below.








    PRICE: $6,500 / negotiable

    All told, the body panels alone are worth $4,600 new plus labor, plus the cage work, plus the paint job, and all of the extras... so I think that's a steal :) Most people pay close to this much JUST to add the widebody stuff on their existing cars, you could sell yours and transfer parts to this for far less.

    VERY High quality bodywork, almost-new paint (less than 2k miles) done by Macs II in Rochester NY. Porsche Arctic Silver. Lightweight (iirc approx. 2500lb WITH engine / seats) chassis includes:

    - GT Racing Fiberglass bumper
    - GT Racing Fiberglass front fenders
    - GT Racing CF hood
    - GT Racing Fiberglass rear widebody quarters, custom tub work
    - GT Racing Fiberglass rear valence / lower splitter
    - GT Racing CF race dash
    - LR Stage 5 header panel w/ IC duct.

    Full Cage done by Technodyne Racing in AZ, includes driver's Seat Brace per PCA rules.

    Items of note / discrepancies / issues / bonus parts:

    There is ONE small bit of damage on the bodywork: when the tow-truck lowered the car at Chris White's for the TEC3 install, the shop had set the ride-height too low in the back, and there is a small (approx 4-6 in tops) tear/crack in the rear above the right wheel. It's VERY repairable, it just needs a bit of fiberglass-infused-bondo and primer/paint, I just haven't had time w/ everything else. Probably be $3-400 at a reputable shop, tops. Another item of note, really a good thing but I am going for full disclosure here - there is NO PARKING BRAKE. No line, no provisions on the rear hubs, etc. Good stuff: The front is carpeted w/ OEM replica carpet - it's not a show-quality job but it is nice. The car is fully wired for most everything including turn signals, horn, radiator fan (can be controlled by a switch or ecu etc), ALL LIGHTS WORK except the license-plate lamps and that's just because the bulbs are missing. The doors are stripped but have functional power windows (only the driver's side is wired as of now, but both switches are in the car on the dash). Switches also include mains switch, ecu power, starter (momentary), separate running / main / aux lamps, and others. The wiring is via a Painless harness mounted under the stock fuse cover :) Sexy stuff, I tell you.

    OPTIONAL STUFF

    Up to the buyer's discretion, I have several things that could or might not be included with the car, that depends on what you want and what you want to pay:

    Wheels: Kinesis 17x9.5 Front 17x12 rear with 245x45x17 and 315x30x17 Pirelli street tires (P-Zero). I will be blunt: I got these while working at a shop and paid under 4k for them and about 1500 in tires, so I'm not looking to profit when I say I'm willing to include them with the chassis for an additional 3k flat... Separately I will be asking at least 3,500. Polished lip, Polished-then-anodized centers, simple wide 5-spoke design.

    Twin Setrab oil coolers. Right now they are on the car, I remember them costing an ungodly ammount, something like $1,800 or more - plus AN lines, fittings, adaptors to the stock cooler outlets, and my time to put them on. You want 'em? I'll leave them on the car for now and lets call them an extra $750. If nobody buys the chassis and someone contacts / pays me for them in the mean time, they're coming off and I will update this thread.

    968 mirrors w/ glass. I know it sounds petty / small but I've had a lot of takers for these, so unless you act fast they'll probably be swapped for flag mirrors prior to the sale.

    NOT Included
    Lexan Hatch w/ 968 TRS Wing (factory hatch/wing installed currently)
    Headlight Buckets / Lamps
    Drivetrain (does have torque tube)
    Fabspeed Exhaust
    Seats (DOES include brackets / rails)

    DELIVERY AVAILABLE

    Mike and I would be willing to trailer it a reasonable distance out of state / downstate (see: NOT California lol) for a small additional cost (aka enough to cover food / gas). Let me put it this way, if we can't trailer it there and get back at 65-70 tops in a long 15-20 hour round-trip day, we aren't delivering :D So that means maybe a 500ish mile radius or less - after that, you are free to pick it up w/ a trailer or arrange shipping, I got it from AZ to NY in a week for a little over 1k... If you are local / Upstate NY, I will drop it off to you at no charge.

        There is for a 944 so I'd assume it would work.

                Toad is smart. Much more so than his predecessor who had an affinity for fast cars and crashing them... TOOT TOOT!


                951 is a 944, 951 = chassis code.

                Crate motor & big ass blower = lots of cheap HP, without the queer 951 operating expenses.

                      I'll tell you the advantages....

                      Better weight balance than an E30, lower CG than an E30, double the BHP of a 6-cylinder E30 with a few bolt-on mods (nearly triple if the wallet allows), they've depreciated like a stone so picking one up isn't too bad.

                      And in the interest of 'equal time', here are the negatives....

                      Maintenance intervals are more frequent and a bitch, everything parts-wise is expensive.

                      If my finances allowed it, I would own a 951 as a toy/track day car. There was a heavily modded '88 model at the last HPDE I attended. Fucking thing passed me like I was standing still....and I was clipping along at 75+!!!!

                          I like the widebody aspect, but the front end looks like an abortion after a 300zx raped a Prelude.

                              I'm thinking LS1. There's got to be room in there for that lump.
