You might have already seen it but the March issue of 911 & Porsche World has a five-page article called Club racers (pg. 54) that includes the 968 Club Sport versus two versions of the 911. Might give some tips about CS spec's...

Anything else I should add to the list?

  • The Club Sport cars had NO underbody protection.
  • Aluminium roll over bar.

Cheers, Harm.

Does anyone know, did any of the factory street cars (924, 944, 968, 911 etc.) EVER come with non-glass windows (lexan, makralon, plexi, etc.)? I know some of the factory race cars did like the GTS/GTR, but I'm wondering about street cars specifically...

You didn't know because it was never done,the a/c was deleted and NOT the heater controls. How about fiberglass front fenders and hood kinda like the 951 cup.Also take a look here http://transaxle.homeip.net/944/944S/ClubSport/Index.htm .I may go the same route on my 944 but i'm not sure yet(it's half way there anyway)

Some new goodies to help with the club sport theme:





Also had these made, all ready for the ceramic coater: one for the UWB, one for the CS, and one to put on the shelf for the eventual 941 rebuild:

The welder made a jig, so if anybody else wants one...

Me likey the J-Pipes! They are Boss! Can see how that can solve a lot of stress/vibration issues.

What would cost be if we supplied our own J-pipes?

Is clearance OK with surrounding pipes?

According to this source (cited earlier) there heater controls were removed:

Undoubtedly the most far-reaching alterations were made inside ... This included the electric windows, electric mirrors, the heater controls, the alarm and even the radio. The original four-spoke steering wheel was replaced by a smaller diameter three-spoke item without an airbag...

Don't know yet on clearance, I only eyeballed it, and didn't see any immediate concerns. Somebody else here did this mod, I think it was Kenodog IIRC. I also saw a reference to it somewhere in the tech section, but I can't remember where now.

In addition to vibration issues, I think the biggest benefit to these is the thermal expansion issue. According to Scott Hoag at MRT (where I had the welding done), he wasn't surprised that these pipes had issues cracking at the swaged joints due to the different thermal expansion of stainless vs. the iron manifold and the rigid mounting to the torque tube (via the wastegate bracket). He wanted to develop a slip joint for me, which is his preferred method on these types of exhaust components, but I had already purchased the couplers, and didn't want to pay for his R&D FWIW, Scott is an engineer by trade & training (ran the Mustang program at Ford up thru 2004).

Cost would probably be somewhere in the ~$100 ball park for labor, materials and parts, but I have to verify what I paid for the joints, it's been a while now.

Looks good.
I have 2 questions for you.

- Who produces the bucket seats? (Momo, Sparco, ect)
- How much the seats and the roll bar weight?

Thanks

Those particular seats are Sparco's, haven't checked the exact model or weight. I acquired them for an unbelievable price second-hand...they were essentially new-in-box, never installed, never sat in, perfect condition, and included BOTH sets of double locking sliders.

Haven't weighed the bar either, need to do so, will try to get to it later this week.
