Yeah between building my car and doing some projects on Sam's car this winter I'll have my work cut out for me.

Why wide fire ring? I have never seen one of these cars pop a head gasket. The only time was once when it was an original 20 year old one. That one failed since it sort of rotted away. Wide fire ring only costs money.

I've blown three so far with the 944 chumpcar- mostly due to radiator issues but I'll be doing the wide fire, copper spray and turbo radiator just in case

just placed another order for fun stuff...ok well im excited. Ive been out cleaning up my front suspension in preparation for the motor to go in. Painted my strut housings-968 which were on my turbo and YES they fit right onto the n/a late spindles. Painted them school bus yellow and then i'll be putting my koni inserts back in w/ my new 300lb front springs. Cleaned the front crossmember and installed my poly a-arm bushings and painted the arms. Also installed the new high pressure ps line that came w/ the car- very nice. Just ordered...

-new clutch line
-outer tie rod ends
-mahle air filter
-front and rear caliper rebuild kits
-hawk rear hp+ pads since i bought blues for the rear initially- if anyone needs some hawk blue rears let me know they are brand new.

Hopefully this week i get the motor together enough to drop it in w/ my new spec clutch

had a friend help me drop the short block into the crossmember tonite. Pulled the clutch from the original motor and i'll have to send the flywheel out to be turned before installing the new one. Reassembled my front struts and installed my new rear main seal, power steering pump and hung the alternator on the drop bracket. Getting there!

Looks nice and clean, as usual.
