The other way of looking at it, is that it is refreshing and perhaps encouraging, to find others similarly enamored with the 928.

I still have my the first 928 I purchased in 1989, and the addiction has only gotten worse!

Hey Stan, do you have a recent picture of your 1st 928 so we can see how it developed

It has been disassembled for a while, but this is from it was last assembled: (a few years ago :( ) 928racing.net/StanShawRacecar.htm

When it is reassembled, at some unknown point in the future, it will likely have a stroker motor, GT transmission, with associated upgrade parts.

I hope to at least put the bored block on an engine stand and do a test fitment assembly in the next few months, then the rotating assembly will need to be balanced, after that I still have to determine the head gasket to be used, and then acquire an appropriate clutch/flywheel setup. Once that is done I will be ready to move on to getting the linkage built for the throttle bodies and figuring out how to use Motec, not to mention figuring out a coil pack setup to use. And of course I have to figure out the proper pump to use with the drysump pan, pulley setup, etc.

The GT transmission needs to be fitted with a pump and cooler and probably have the PSD swapped for an LSD.

I spent a few years just acquiring the parts I have, and it is daunting to always feel like there is so much more to do. I won't live in the garage, and always have to support (both fund wise and time wise) my other money pits, including my '90 GT street car, my '96 M3 street/track car, my R1, RX1 and now Grizzly.

I am not complaining, but the race car has definitely not had priority for quite some time. :D

Stan about the motec. Is that the same system that 928 ms uses for their kit.

Their kit has the coil that replaces the distributor system with all new wiring.

I took a quick look at that site, and I see a TEC option, not the same as MoTec ( www.motec.com.au/ ).

Perhaps parts of their kit could be used, I don't know. I think the Don Hanson built race car used Motec and believe it moved close to me recently, so perhaps I can copy that work.
