Figured since it's going to have a few projects going I may as well post them up.
Since I was a kid I always wanted one. It isn't a huge list, but a list of things I always wanted on a Porsche 911 and I plan on transforming it into that. Sold the 944 and bought this for my daily. Over the years I've seen things on them that just make me go "OHHHH" and "AHHHH" and "I WANT!" so now that I have the chance, I'm going to do just that.
The list of things it needs:
- Heaterbox hoses and lines
- High heat hoses need replaced
- Linkage fixes
- Wheel bearings
- Vacuum lines
- Tires... some tard put the wrong profile size and it was eating through the oil return line.
- Speakers, deck... they're old, and speakers are mostly blown.
- Targa and window seals. Old, worn, and not doing the best.
Things replaced thus far:
- Most of the heaterbox lines/hoses
- Most of the vacuum lines
- New tires...
- Wheel Bearings
Plans:
- Converting to Targa hard top (specifically, looking at a Carbon Fiber replacement, still doing the math to see if they're quality enough for consideration)
- Fabspeed 930 exhaust (probably with with resonator so it sounds nice, and not overkill)
- Trading out the original deck (yes, still has the ORIGINAL tape deck, and normally I would leave it be, but it's my daily, and i've left my 914 entirely factory original so this car is getting modified) to go with a nice sound system, nice speakers. I don't want to go sub and overkill, just some nice speakers. The fabspeed will add sound as it is... so with the resonator setup and a nice deck with speakers, should be fine. I just can't deal with blown speakers...
- Airbox pop-valve, don't feel like blowing up my airbox.
- CF or Fiberglass floor layouts instead of the OEM hardwood ones. They don't hold up all that great, and god forbid you get them wet, ever. They won't be in plain site but it'll be a nice improvement, and any weight lost is a good diet IMO.
- Carrera graphic work (hey it is a super carrera...)
- Polished engine bay and repainted parts. Planning on polishing everything from the fan down to the rest of the covers and repainting some parts to match the car. Going to stick with metallic silver to go with the themed paint of the car, sparingly of course since I don't want it to look like a big rolling blingy silver bullet... just hints of it here and there to look nice.
- Custom CF parts, brackets, mounts, etc. I am helping a friend who works in the aircraft industry with some website work, and we're doing CF parts for it in trade. w00t!
Pics to come as progress becomes progress!
