New guy- 3 car

[930]

Man, you guys have some killer garages!!! Mine is a work in progress, but here it is.

Wow. Nice cars and place. Welcome to the site.

Why were you welcoming race fans? Or is that always outside your house?

 

[Mayor]

House and cars look great. Very nice setup, welcome to the site.

Is that a 944 in the front of the single door in last picture??

 

[930]

Thanks guys. The flags were for a local Porsche Club event we hosted. The gold car is an '89 944 turbo.

I agree. Very nice cars and garage and house. Welcome from Western Kentucky.

Nice looking space, what is the height of the roof in that interior?
Also, what model BendPak is that, HD-9?

 

[930]

Thanks, ceiling height is 10ft 4in. Lift is Bendpak PF7000st.

lookin

what do you have on the floor under the lift?

 

[930]

Just a piece of Astroturf.

So, are those "show only" cars or does at least one of them see track time? (That black one looks fantastic!)

<--- My name is Darren and I'm a track-a-holic.

The gold 944turbo sees quite a bit of track time. The black one is an '86 911 turbo, 2600lbs, 700hp, .....show/street. Thanks for the compliment.

 

[Darren M.]

Sweet. I do have a question though. (Forgive my German turbo ignorance.) What is the use of the smaller exhaust pipe? Also, are those 315 tires??? Fantastic use of NACA Duct. Based upon it's angle I assume that's an intake to the engine instead of to the brakes? Show AND go. Gotta love it!

Lucky, you, I don't think they make that one anymore, would be perfect for me, guess I'll eventually have to get the 9000 lb model (overkill for a 2100lb 914).

Also, that small pipe is for the turbo to dump the excess psi, you also see this on the Ferrari F40 and the old 934-935 cars.

Welcome!

Sweet stable, and that's one ginormous intercooler on the 930

"What is the use of the smaller exhaust pipe?"

It is a waste gate exhaust pipe. Since it is external on these from the turbo it is easier to run a seperate pipe.

Looks to me like you need a 914-6 in your stable to round out the collection. Which PCA region do you belong to?

A 914-6 would be nice....but no room. NORPCA.

 

[B.C.]

Wow!!!!!! Impressive.

Maybe we will bump into each other some where along the way.

OVR is my region, so we have a little geography between us. Nice fleet, yeah there are some really nice garages around this place, but yours lookin good to me.
