Can't wait to run with ya, Dan - ITR is the place to race!
Hopefully I'll have an update that this car is running after the weekend. Got a line on a glass hatch also - want that installed this weekend.

Changed the gas, fuel filter, oil and filter, sprayed oil into spark plug holes last night.
Tried it this AM - started up on the first try - no lifter knock - sounds fine.
Drove around the block - drives perfect. Other than needing a major cleaning and a hatch this car runs. It does have a little smoke coming off the motor - could be crud but I think there's an oil leak smoking.

OK folks - eat your hearts out. This $500 car will be my race car - decided to keep the 968 M030 black car for the street.
Smoking problem cleared up - probably a dry valve/cam cover gasket. Now I need a G50 LSD, race suspension, header and chip, cage. Then to the track!
This car now has about 12 hours of cleanup into it to that's why she looks so good. I took about 2 pounds of dirt out of the engine compartment alone. Gotta love the P car quality - no rust where crud had been sitting for years.

Video - weird scratching noise comes from the video - not the motor

Did you say, "I own this car for a thousand, every penny in, including the car and crane costs"?

Ben, unless thing changed on these cars, don't waste your money on a header. Porsche header is good and unless you burn a new chip on a dyno where they know what the hell they are doing with Porsche, don't waste your money there either. I had a friend that raced the 968 in World Challange when I was racing my 944 T Cup there too.Originally Posted by benspeed
