Well I'm on tea break from fitting the new Roof to the Barn, so its getting closer to my goal of a heated shop for Xmas... Plus looking out of my house and seeing two 40ft shipping containers is getting very boring and way to red neck for me... I'm off for 10 days now so its the big push...... before the Horrid white stuff starts falling,...We need pictures....workshop that is.

I do have a nice new Electrical supply now though, and i have finally removed the nasty overhead cable that supplied the house with 220V that was right in the middle of the shop..... Split supply as well so 200Amp breaker box in house and Separate but still of the same meter 200Amp 220V supply to the shop.... plenty of power now for a Phase inverter so I can have 3 phase :-)
All underground now in Plastic conduit.... Pulling 200 Meters of 200amp cable inside conduit was a challenge all on its own..

News Flash just in... There's a possibility another 962 fan is interested in funding the next build. That would speed up the build again 
New name for thread though........."962 with a 996 Turbo Heart" fingers crossed will update with info when its confirmed..... Turbo with a Ally Tub might be fun...

It’s not 100% confirmed yet as the engine is being checked out as we speak to make sure it hasn’t sustained any damage in the crash... But there’s a almost new GT2 Turbo motor in the running for the next 962 build... and icing on the cake we’ve sourced a Endurance LeMans spec Transaxle.. seeing as it’s 700 hp stock and there must be a chip tune out there for 750 ?? all you Porsche Passion guys this could be a higher spec 962 than the original Rothmans cars

Well not in any race series but the owner wants to do a lot of track days . Going to have to be similar wheel spring rates to a race car on this one and drop it to 75 mm for the road then maybe have alternate mounts for the shocks to drop it to 60 mm for the track as the aero needs to be lower to take full effect for the underbody which is the biggest generator of downforce ... and with such a serius engine combo it’s going to need to be balanced aero wise
I think it might be best to start a new thread, once we start in ernest.
So good news and bad - Good news here's the Transaxle we will be using, its presently being rebuilt with the ratios we want. It came from a Daytona Prototype car in the USA.
The bad news was we had a Porsche expert interrogate the 991 GT2 engine in the wrecked car before buying it. It only had 5K on it but the ecu had logged over 300 "over rev" events, and upon starting it there was a not so healthy bad knocking noise. Gutted but glad we didn't buy a dud... So the search continues for a Turbo motor..

Now Now Mr Vector...... Looking at that Xtrac does make me think I should have not told you about it and Bought it myself...
and Yes boys and girls this is box for the next 962 I'm starting to build very soon... If anyone's interested where's the best pace to put a new thread ?? new title "962 with 996Turbo / Xtrac heart"
