Cool. But, um, no suspension mods yet? How much does the rear squat when you get on the throttle?

I know I know, I bought it with most of these mods. But trust me, suspension is next on my list. And yes, there is a bit of squat until the tires break loose images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Yeah, most 944T guys build the engine up and then realize the suspension (and often the brakes too) need to be upgraded to match. All too often, the budget has been blown by that point.

Way back when I was club racing 944's (the ultra-cheap, 2-valve NA versions), I used 650# springs on the front, and gun-drilled 28mm torsion bars on the rear. The sway bars were stock units from an '87 or so 944T with the M030 suspension option. I ran 15x8's Fuchs all around and "rolled" the lip of the wheelwells. While in there, I would remove the stone guard from the front discs, and that let plenty of air in. I never cooked my brakes, and rarely did any engine mods. The cars would be competitive just like that.

I have a friend who still has a 944T club racer. He's got it for sale, though. It was built out of an '88 944S and an '89 944T-S. I'd buy it just to help him out, but I've already blown my own budget with the collection I've got.

Very nice car. Always wanted one. Drove a few at the time and always felt the 944 was the best balanced Porsche of them all.

That is a very lesbian car. Very clean, I like the 994 in dark gray.

I second that, probably because of how much I loved this car in NFS5... I have only seem one in my life, though.

It's all fun and games until the water pump croaks. I hope you make upwards of $50,000 per year.

I will own one of these one day. For anyone doubting how fast they are, a guy on our club has run a confirmed BTG time of 7.57 on the 'Ring with nothing more than uprated springs.
