924 track car

Good progress.

I have been thinking about building a lightweight 924 as a trackday toy ever since the great fun I had at the Blyton Park TIPEC trackday earlier this year.

The plan would be to use it on slower paced trackdays, with more of a classic car crowd, rather than keep pulling over to let GT3's hoon past, but also to use it on some 924 road adventures as well.

So watching your progress with interest, keep the updates coming!

Pity you guys are ooop north because I am in Club Triumph and they are having a track day at Goodwood on the 25th Nov and there are some places still available.
Open pit lane.
I shall be using my Quantum RSturbo and not the 944 though.

The work on your car looks superb and as my daughter has raced a 924 to some wins I reckon they make a lot of sense.
Brands in 58sec in a 130 bhp car is amazing but I saw her do it and so did several other 924's manage it.

Thanks for your comments Pink Piggy....the credit should go to my co-owner Colin Hammerton who is the mechanic in this project. I just pass the spanners and take pictures

Unfortunately the car will not be ready by the 25th, otherwise we might have considered a little excursion down south!

I hope I'm not putting 1+1 together and getting 3, but is your daughter Rebecca Jackson?

Shame you cannot make it.
I have track dayed since the 70's (cheap in those days) and despite the superb roadholding 924's and 944's are not often found.
A little nugget of possible interest was a friend who bought my TR5 and won the Post Historic championship in it in 83 (I think).
He brought a mate of his down to Goodwood and he owned a then new 944S and I bundled in the back and John instructed him as he drove as fast as he dared round Goodwood, we must have been mad but elf and safety were yet to come.
Yes you have guessed who my daughter is. She used to be my daughter but now I am her father as she is far better known than I am

I'm sure "her father" is equally talented in handling a car

Hope we have the opportunity to meet up in the future
