i am a member of all the Porsche clubs and i have found Tipec is the only one who is ALL enclusive.


eg:

PCGB=won't reconise replicas
DDK= is just for pre 74 Porsches
Impact bumpers= like it says-just impact bumpers.
Tipec= i can take any of my cars to their meets :bounce:

heating issues encountered on Porsche Transaxle models:

The Porsche transaxle models are notorious for the high temperatures building up in their engine bay. This problem originally was recognized with the first series of the 924 Turbo where the heat issue led to a short lifetime of some engine components, especially the turbocharger.

Also later front-engined models suffered from high temperatures, everyone who has opened a bonnet of a 924 turbo or a 951 after having pushed the car was astonished by the heat that has built up in the engine bay during driving. This problem aggravates if the engine has been modified and/or the car is being used as a trackday tool or race car.

The NACA air intake from the 924 Turbo is a popular upgrade for modified 951’s but it did not convince us from a conceptual perspective: The approach of forcing more air into the engine bay via the bonnet – the top of the car – may cool down the interior temperature but is rather inefficient from an aerodynamic point of view as it doesn't solve the problem of getting the hot air out of the engine bay. Another disfavour is that – installed on a 951 – it only cools down the right half of the engine bay (header) and not the turbocharger's side which also heats up considerably.
this is the reason for my holes in the bonnet,people said I was talking rubbish,lol I have upgraded it for street legal track car,not beauty but I think vile is a little over the top and the holes in the bonnet are all porsche designed holes

Can't believe what I have read in this thread about the abuse on someones car.

As said, the majority are good family folk and the club is all encompassing.

I hope you don't re-work it because of a few puerile comments you received on here?

What a lovely car. I've never seen this model before, I'm very impressed.

I currently own a 1986 944 lux and quite fancy the upgrade. I'm not in a position to buy a car at the moment but felt your advert worthy of a reply.

Nice one...
