very nice, however the CGT had a rubber stirp across the rear bumper, also the spoiler looks to be more of the 944 variant.

still a very stunning car,

Worked out it was all the parts from an original car reshelled into a series 2 turbo. It is the original bumper the rubber has been removed and cleaned up, looks a lot nicer without it. Not sure about the spoiler, looks like the right one to me and no reason to think it isn't considering it has a full set of factory carrera parts otherwise. Apart from the flush screen it is impossible to tell without looking at numbers.

I would recommend that you install a boost guage and see how much boost you are running, the cgt ran a factory 12PSI where the ROW ran only 10PSI see if they changed the wastegate as well.

It's beautiful. I'm insanely jealous.

I'm coming down to Melbourne for the GP. You going? I'd really like to have a close-up look at that car...

Should be going to the GP at some stage, can hear them from my work so would be torture not to go. I work in port melbourne. Shouldn't be a problem to show you the car, let me know closer to the date.

cheers

I thought we figured out that the 944 spoiler is the same as the CGT. It sure looks the same to me. I belive it is a 937 part number as well.

They are the same!

Sounds good, we could organise a concours with enough catogories that we all win a prize. Then everyone will have a Concours winning 924 turbo.
