Well, dear friends, the torch has been passed! Yesterday, a local enthusiast who knows this car well acquired it. I'll let him decide if he wants to go public, but rest assured, the Club Sport lives on and is in great hands. _________________ erstwhile owner of just about every 924 variant ever made |

That torch has been passed to me to carry for a time. Since Saturday the whole thing has been a bit surreal and obviously super exciting! To own a build that has been really big on this forum and to continue its story. I have always loved what Dan did with this concept. Seeing updates to a Dan build was always a highlight to any given day
On top of that, I am super glad Dan still gets to enjoy the car. He really is super gracious and helpful! His countless answers here are a testament to the nice person he is and, in person, its at a higher level still.
I am going to continue to document the car here in this thread
Updates to follow and thank you Dan for all that you have done here and continue to do! _________________ 1980 931 since 1989

Congrats! I was curious if you were the buyer, after Dan's mysterious post.
Does this mean the 82 is on hold or is that still pressing ahead?? _________________ 1980 Porsche 931

Still pressing ahead! I need that one to have some sort of back seat so I can transport a family now and then in a 924. _________________ 1980 931 since 1989

Small update...
After much thought and needing to know as much as I can this summer, I went with the proven method (Thank you Steve!). We will see about future fueling options with this car as I go along. If it seems needed, I will very likely go with the fasteddie plan but this will always be a valuable tool no matter what. The plan is to just add a bung near the other AFM O2 already in the car, get some logs, and go from there. Still need to order EGT sensor.
Also just finished another lightweight engine mount bracket and aluminum turbo mount. Planning on shelving the OEM aluminum turbo mount since its rare (at least over here in the US for sure). Weight wise, replacing both iron parts with my aluminum components makes it like the iron bracket never existed. Stock engine mount bracket is just over 2kg and mine for this car (slightly lighter than my first one on the '82) is 680g. Very noticeable in your hand and a nice 'subtraction' to the CS theme.

You need a wideband anyway, as long as it has an output that megasquirt can use..
And you could put MS on your stock 931 fuel system, just by taking over your lambda system, and see how far you can get with that..
then you would be all wired up for mostly everything you need anyways, and have full engine parameter logging etc....
Not sure all of what that WB setup will do on its own.. Might let you log a bunch of stuff just on that.. IDK.. _________________ 80 Turbo - Slightly Modified |

Yeah, right now its just for logging. Steve has had much success with his logging and to use the Zeitronix to trigger his WUR as well. That was an option I couldn't find with other choices.
I just want to log as much as possible so I don't damage anything. Far am I from the days of turning up the boost in the S1 without much more than my ear to the ground. _________________ 1980 931 since 1989

The S1 just seemed easier or it was ignorance. Probably a bit of both
I actually forgot since its been taking eon's to get through customs. Ordered two new rear windows out of Spain in Lexan. Still don't have them and its been at least two Months! I have Lexan all over the place here but too distracted to make windows. Battles must be chosen carefully. Also got two new rear window seals which was the real reason for the window purchase in the first place. Simply needed new seals since the rest of the car looks so good. Nice compliment to the lexan hatch as well. _________________ 1980 931 since 1989

A small update on one of the little projects going on this winter for this car. There are a few things going on but I am saving some for later
I have been cleaning up the interior a bit and one mod in keeping with the theme is an attempt at a GTS like interior... a Homage anyway
The short shifter requires an aftermarket knob but I need the 1980 knob which has always been my favorite. Its slimmer than the leather clad knobs from 81+ and is lighter. I scanned a 80 knob and tweaked in in CAD for the short shifter. I then printed a test. A mistake reared its ugly head immediately in that I measured the MOMO knob and not the shifter which is off by 2mm but easily fixed.
Here is the scan on CAD mid process. The cylindrical part will have less of a protrusion, if at all, plus it will be covered by Alcantara to match the dash. GTS style center console is also in the works. Will be made in a similar fashion. Never played the radio much in a 931. The tea kettle at full boil sounds so much sweeter
The rest of the CAD model needs cleaning up but here is yesterday's test fit with a rough printed knob. It feels just like the original knob

I extended 'Dans' short throw shifter and sliced the sides down thinner so a stock shifter knob would fit it. Thats now in the turbo for a few years. Prefer a stock shifter height and feel.
I'm currently having two stock shifters cut and welded back up to copy the short shifter pivot points so I can add one to the GT race car and have a spare.
The stock shifter knob is too nice to bin off for a modern aftermarket version. Got to keep it period correct _________________ 1980 931 - forged pistons, Piper cam, K27/26 3257 6.10 hybrid turbo, 951 FMIC, custom intake, Mittelmotor dizzy & cam pulley, H&S exhaust, GAZ Gold, Fuch'ed, Quaife
