That escalated quickly.

Have you put any autocross runs on it yet?

Jesus. It's so well built that in my very personal and humble opinion, it would be wasteful to not cage it and let that thing sing on track.

What was your final weight and balance #s out of curiosity?

Soooo...what's the plan for the buck/mold (yeah, I didn't miss that)? Are you selling a kit for the 944?

WoW! Popped up the GRM webpage and there was my project! Amazzzzzzing! I can't say how much I appreciate the love.

Again, THANKS to all for the wonderful comments. (Especially the one about my dog! He is the best.)

Let me address some of the questions:

Have you put any autocross runs on it yet? No, and it's painful.

What was your final weight and balance #s out of curiosity? Haven't set-up or scaled it yet. It will be published when available.

Soooo...what's the plan for the buck/mold (yeah, I didn't miss that)? Are you selling a kit for the 944? With a little research you can find my website and facebook page. This project race car has spawned something special.

Currently the engine is in pieces. A plug bore on one of the heads was filling with coolant under zero pressure. Yes, a bad casting. Texas Speed & Performance could not have been better about the situation. Even though it has been over a year since I purchased the Cylinder heads, they stood behind the product. Waiting on the new head to arrive on Wed., new gasket and bolts included at no cost.

Again GRM and crowd, Thank you!

Hopefully you'll be doing some national events in this next year? I'd love to see it in person!

Edit: heck, maybe even compete against you! I'll be codriving an FP car next year, and we'll have the option to run XP to help make a class if FP is empty.

Damn. That is awesome. I really need to start carving out time to work on my 944 / LS6. I'm currently moving at a pre-global warming glacial pace

I love the nonchalant nature of the posts. "Oh..just a 944 build".

Holy cow! That is amazing work!!

LS swapped 944 just moved very close to the top of my "next project" list

That kind of project, the time and effort and quality is normally reserved for pristine show cars traveling in an enclosed trailer.

This was built with those exacting standards but will be USED, be driven... hard.

That's the best part of you ask me.

Wow! That is impressive!

I like that you even designed your own wheels. Did you design the centers to fit an off-the-shelf rim? I had no idea that was even possible.

You're welcome. Ed picked your car for that honor.

Here's the link for the rest of the class.

Thanks again for sharing your build with us.
