Ever had any regrets about fitting that huge turbo, or thought about fitting something more modern?
In my head sometimes yes,but then i drive it and its lots of fun,i wouldn't be bothered enough to swap the turbo unless it let go,the package of the bits suprisingly really work all together ,it feels a bit period late 80s turbo, like its meant to be like that.?.Still got a standard one but i use that even less,next Summer its coming out hopefully going to fit a new clutch in that one bite is a bit high..

Owned my 968 CS racecar since 2011 broke it in 2014 needs lots of work will get around to it at some point.
Hi Mark, I still have my S2 race car. Let my license elapse last year convinced I would sell the thing, then covid happened and for some reason I am now convinced I want to have a go again if I can organise myself to get the time out of work required next year. Strange thing that. I wonder if anyone really ever actually moves on from racing.That CALM lot are doing a great job, would be great to see all the 944/968 race cars out there on track.
Nope, been tempted by CALM. Might be on some fantastic events next year, have a look for them on Facebook and Twitter.
Nothing against CSCC however, albeit I don't like their pitstop format compared for example to how AMOC run the pitstops, but clearly many do like that competitive part to it.
Much bigger issue for me was the daftness of allowing my license to lapse beyond the alternating years renewing I was doing to maintain it. Helmet, extinguisher, belts, all need renewing as well for the latest standards/in date etc.

. The surge from 3k is what makes them feel fast, without doing really big speeds.No I moved to 6 cylinders a while back. My only 4 pots are still flat and aircooled...

That said I did bid on my old 968 Race car when that was up for sale recently... not sure what I would have done with it if I'd won... other than hid it from the Mrs !!
I'm still using EMC for everything I can. Someone has to keep Kevin smiling! but they've had a few really tidy 968's in there over lock down, they are a lovely thing.
