The Porsche thread.

[E-Thirty]

If you're interested in some good history on Porsche's beginning of endurance domination, I really recommend http://www.amazon.com/Porsche-917-Wi.../dp/1859606334.

Great photos and an awesome story.

^That must be insane to have raced a car like that! The sound of the engine and air rushing around you. Must be pretty scary in the open cockpit like that.

how bout the beastly prototype "Martha Stewart" special.....

Martha Stewart? How about Mary Stuart. ;)

I love the old First Gen turbos.

I was at the Porsche Museum in Stüttgart a few weeks ago, and they had one of the first 1976 models there (first year of production). It was a dark green with matching plaid interior. I'll post some pics soon.

'75 was first year for 930s.

That's a 993 Turbo, it was a 964 Turbo 3.6 in Bad boys.

Oh hai.

More pix! Details on the widening?

[LJ851]

I need to take some good pictures of it, but the rear wheels are 16x8s widened to 16x9. The guy that had them done had a turbo which has bigger flares so they are a tight fit even after all the usual tricks. The area between the petals (face) of the wheel and the conical part of the lip is where the 1 inch was added.

^^^Nice. Ill be waiting for some more pix. Do you have a name or website for the widening shop?
