![http://www.mturck.com/944/DSCF6644.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/DSCF6644.jpg) Dropped off that NA parts car at the scrap yard nice to have another spot in the driveway back :tup: We’re thinking we can break 200bhp with this due to grabbing a cam and shooting up over 11:1 CR. I’d be happy if we hit the output of a stock 944 Turbo (220bhp), but I think that might be pushing it a bit :lol: ---

Most of what is left is NA specific (worthless) or can be bought new for cheap. ---

Ok, finally decided on a transaxle. Going with the 968 6 Speed box (just purchased one), also got my guy at Porsche Motorsport Germany to find me a 3.4 Ring and Pinion (from the 968 Turbo S). He could only find ONE (and one 5th and one 6th gear from a 968 Turbo S, but I dont want those). So my final gearing will look like this _if_ I only ran a 7100rpm redline (stock is 6450). Just for this year, I’ll be running this gearing (3.78 R&P): ![http://www.mturck.com/944/968Stock.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/968Stock.jpg) Still a hair tall for my tastes with an NA, but it’ll do fine. Next year (3.4 R&P): ![http://www.mturck.com/944/968-34FD.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/968-34FD.jpg) Velocity stacks should be here tomorrow, more on that when I have photos. ---

I would leave the first gear set, seems perfect to me. ---

I’m eagerly awaiting that answer. Velocity stacks are here, but seeing as how my DSLR is dead… 😢 (In all seriousness I’m really upset about this). I’m not sure when I’ll be posting photos next. ---

Euro NA pistons w/conrods arrived from Sweden! (Also had a spare set of OEM Cup I wheels show up, got em for $75 + shipping from PA) ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Jan07/100_5688.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Jan07/100_5688.jpg) Worked on stripping the chassis some. I decided I’m going to strip the wheel wells and then get the underbody blasted (Speaking of which, Suzukiriderman, you have a PM incoming tonight). ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Jan07/100_5670.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Jan07/100_5670.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Jan07/100_5679.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Jan07/100_5679.jpg) This stuff = PITA. ---

LOL, I know your pain. Progress is looking good however. I gotta say there a ton of bad-ass projects going on this winter. I also like the variety, swapped Porsches, BMWs eating Skyline mills, evil little Civics, vintage car restos, even MAX builds 😃 Summer will be fun. Keep it up :tup: ---

Last year I refreshed and swapped a SHO motor with LXTASY, discovered I really love building up engines. Not in the cards this year though, too much body and trans shit going on… ---

Probably the e34. Depends on $$$$. Honestly the only stuff I need to buy for the 944 to have it running is flywheel, motor mounts, a few bits of clutch stuff, and bearings. Unfortunately, I also need seats and the cage work done for the car to be “done”, and I wont drive it daily anymore. Soooooo I’m trying to get the e34 done first. ---
