Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

Hello all, been pestering the front four forum for the past couple of weeks but here's my formal introduction to my 951:

I sold my last propper car in september 07 help towards a deposit for a house

corrado VR6:



loved the car to bits and had a fair while to wonder about what to replace it with whilst i beat around in an old 406 diesel estate was a toss up between e36 M3 another corrao or an GTV v6. in the end i decided on a 951 as it had the rwd chassis and non of the chav image the m3 has.

i had my eye on this one for a while, then the owner reduced the price and couln't resist, so it was off to devon and back from manchester for a 12 hr round trip to pick it up! :driving

she's a 220bhp car that has been re-mapped to 250bhp.

Pic's from the advert:





5K serivce was due right away so i swapped the oil for some mobil 1 15-50W and put a new set of falken rubber on all round. The car has been very well maintained mechanically but cosmetics were in need of attention so i booked here in with a friend at Sigma Detailing in St annes for paint correction:

before dan set to work:



Sprayed the wheels with some non acid cleaner that just smelt AMAZING:

sprayed the car some snow foam and rinsed to lift any dirt off before a second wash with wool mitt:



You'd think the car would be clean by now? clay bar says no.

Snow foam and rinse again to get rid of anthing left after the clay bar:


Dry off with microfibre towel:


with the car clean you can really see all the defects in the paint, the car was covered in small scracthes and the wings were pretty bad






Masked up plastic bits:

So 2 hours later were ready for polish:


Remember that bonnet?:

before and after machine polish:




Wax next, applied by hand... sexy! apparently the heat from your palms makes the wax go on better...i jist think dan wanted to feel up my car :laugh:


Spoiler next, hit with some trim restorer:



Wheel sealant to protect them from brake dust:


Is this why they call it detailing?!?..getting rid of dust/residue:

getting there now tyre treatment:

treated it to some new plates and bonnet badge:

after a LONG day in the workshop the turbo rolled out into some late afternoon sun







Very VERY pleased with results!

i also heard it was against the law to go to backpool and not visit the prom

Very very nice

Just make sure it gets driven enough to get covered in dead flies (though with all that wax they should wipe off a treat)

allready is covered in flies paul

driven every day

Very pretty! The only problem is being black it'll be dirty in five minutes!

Great job. Will your mate come & do mine?

Very nice, puts the rest of us to shame

Will it be in the pride of ownership next year then

very nice mate. looks bang on!

what area are you btw?

looking good,............. wait a minute you've missed a bit

shh!!.... dont tell him lol. i spotted that too

I'm sure he'd love to: http://www.sigmadetailing.co.uk/

He's building a client base at the moment so prices are loads cheaper than enyone else.



an oldie but a goodie

ps colt, I'm in Worsley, Salford.



not sure what that is



yes but due to the special hand applicated waxings the paint is impregnable to dirt particles you see

ahh worsley your not far from me mate i'm in middleton

its dead posh in Worsley i heard they even get out of the bath for a wee
welcome i am in Atherton near the great rugby town of Leigh

I'm up towards walkden, newearth road so not really posh, just most people know worsley from the motorway junction

what colour is your car matey?

i've seen a white 944 possibly an s2 a couple of times up in walkden.

i know that area well scho used to live in Boothstown and Farnworth either side of you.
mines blue not seen any the same colour apart from Audis

i'l look out for you

i lived in withington for a couple of years, rubbish place for a petrolhead to live, just no where to open up. it's great to have the east lancs on your doorstep, i often fly down to clucheth and drive over toward irlam. great road late evening. not too far to rivington too
