...unfortunately arrived on an AA truck. But it looked immaculate and for me as I stood there, the most desirable car I could see.

If you are a PHer and spot this, hope it's nothing too serious..smokin

Hi Si, that was my little beast which has come out of a three-year hibernation. The clutch has gone - hopefully only needs a bleed. It'll get a health check, belts, service etc. I'm awaiting the last parts (from Speed Force Racing in San Diego) to turn this into a 450-500 bhp sleeper next summer - Vi-Pec engine management, Garrett turbo, racing head, cams, SFR intake, Lindsey Racing dry sump, Guard LSD, rose-jointed suspension & Leda coil overs, Tarrett ARBs, Big blacks etc etc - but it will retain the stock appearance (993 hollow-spokes aside) & interior.

Think a build thread is needed, sounds awesome!

When the work begins - probably next summer - I'll start a thread.

Wossner custom made the new pistons (you specify your desired bore, CR, valve lift & combustion chamber volume) & made new forged rods - so we should be good for reliable power. I have the cam sensor/trigger wheel (Clewett Engineering) etc to run sequential injection so it should be good for civilised idling & decent emissions with its 1000cc injectors. The Vi-Pec engine management system is essentially a Link G4 Xtreme with all the bells & whistles enabled.

The headers & exhaust system (Speed Force Racing) is ceramic coated & will run a Tial MV-R 44mm waste gate. The turbo is a Garrett GTX3071R with a 0.82 A/R Tial hot side which should work fine with the 2.5 litre.

I think the dry sump tank (Pace Products) will need to be mounted in the boot & vent to atmosphere through existing grommets in the rear wing.

I really want it to look as stock as possible inside & out - it's been a long time in the speccing, planning & parts gathering.

Sounds epic - look forward to reading about the build. If you don't mind me saying you really sound like you know your stuff. Off the top of your head, what would you do with a 944 s2, given free reign...
