Steve was kind enough to drop this one off a couple of weeks ago after rebuilding the engine and giving the car a through once over addressing any mechanical issues. Thanks Steve, your attention to detail is impressive.

First order of business was replacing the phone dials with a proper set of 951 Fuchs. They are one year only, not easy to source and $$$. Paul over at Radial hooked us up with a nice set of Yoks 225/245.

Next up the paint needs some love and then we will focus on a few cosmetic issues, charge the a/c and maybe a short shifter.

Didn’t want to abuse the other cars, primarily use will be HPDE when things are a bit closer to “normal”

See you at the track

Well done!

Putting in roll bar or cage?

Seriously, I absolutely love the Fuchs on that car.

Yes - when the track seat and harness go in, most likely a Redline.

PS: It has a new clutch, just saying

TY, This basically replaces your old M3. I really liked it but wanted a Porsche for HPDE.

What's the asking price of the VW? Do you have over rev and leak down reports?

Karl,
I have bolt-in 944 roll bar if you're interested. It was originally in John Houston's car before he converted it to a race car with a full cage. I thought I was going to install in my 944S2, but decided to stick with stock seats instead.

BTW, nice get on Steve's project. Good builder, and good new owner!

You don't know how many times I've nearly PM'd you to ask for the contact info for whomever bought that car from you. But...No, nope, not going to do it.

The car came with a Griffins, A/C conversion kit. The kit is from 2017 and was purchased by a PO. Armed with that info and a bit of internet knowledge I figured we would give it a shot. Picked up three cans of 134a from the orange big box store, $5.27 a can and a flush kit as well. My friend Mike dropped by this afternoon with a compressor to pull a vacuum and a set of gauges. The system was completely empty from the engine rebuild so we didn’t need to capture the old refrigerant. Lucked out the compressor was empty as well. Flushed the system and filled the compressor with oil using a syringe, added a whisper less than two cans of 134a. The numbers look good. We are at 59 degrees at the vent while idling with the windows open and the fan recirculating on full blast. We will see how it holds up.
