Well done! I kind of like the Boxter style exhaust pipe location. I would have stuck with Alpinas and you wouldn't be able to tell that there's a beast under the hood.

Very unusual location for a Turbo! Surely that can't be very efficient??

Rear-mount turbo? Ew. Plus, he could have eliminated to stock intake manifold, since the variable intake won't do anything anymore, tilted the engine so it was vertical, then he'd have plenty of room to work with.

Sure he coulda done it different, but we've seen what the bits for going dry sump with a vertical engine can cost.

Rear-mounted turbo is not uncommon and while not "period correct" I doubt if the owner of this car cares one iota about that, probably doesn't even look in the rear view mirror alot 8)

hmmmm

the third picture in the series seems to show the slots on the right front (?) rotor are "backwards". I though they needed/ought to pass hot air more or less radially outward.

Pimp mobile wheels

IMHO really detract from its otherwise good appearance--but know the winters are long in Norway. (;>)

Pictures from the Norwegian National 02/Classic meeting this year.
I was impressed by the work done to this car.

Why did he stop with 18inch

Why molest a coupe if you do have the money there are much more worth while projects to get into 18inch rims though why stop there. Well there is an old saying if you dont have anything nice to say... and so on

I do like the mirrors though and the body seems to be in good shape at least till he turns the corner or hits a pot hole The fuel cell is tiddy between the rear wheel wells Thanks for posting great to see what people are doing and for the younger generation may give some insight and would help them see what can be done

With the price, availability, of items and the dollar being what it is and not to mention the rarity of the coupe Just would hope that they would catch a pasion for just as we have...

The sill covers look wrong to me but otherwise this is a pretty awesome car!

I'm glad to see a picture of a Fjord blue car with body colour sills as it's something I was considering I might do when I repaint my car. Having now seen one I'll stick to the original Black!

Looks much better (not my car unfortunately!)

Cheers

Jon, is your e9 low enough? I love the stance of your e9 with it not only being lowered but having a very nice nose down rake as well. Most e9s have the front end too high and the rake all wrong...IMHO. A very sweet looking e9 you have!
