Earned a subscription from me. I build hot rods for a living, and you guys are killing the game with this build. Edit do add: People have been sleeping on the Volvo 5 and six cylinder platform. There's a lot to love, and a lot that rhymes with the driving aesthetic of 80''s Porsche.
Couple of suggestions, i would recommend raising the strut towers at the front as taking out 50mm of travel won't be a good idea.The 944/68 has a wider lower arm and track as this helps with this, the IMSA cars relocated the strut to help the angles. The corvette transaxle will require a cut torque tube and tunnel. The early ur quattro tuners and the GT40 replicas here in Europe run a Subi STi gearbox instead of the O1E, making a STi gearbox fwd is cheaper than a Z06 manual transaxle. The 951(924) gearbox is the same style as the Vette. But having the gearbox behind the diff helps traction as this is static and doesn't change with fuel load, so setting spring rates is easier as it can be softer to allow squat and braking at the rear. The normal fix for lowered 944/68 is to raise the trailing arm location up 50 mm and use coil overs with a higher mount by the same amount, this is all tried and tested 964 stuff. Otherwise you go 986 boxster suspension
Aha! I knew an Audi 5 cylinder was somehow initially involved. I would have wanted to keep it in the family too, but I can totally understand the switch to a Volvo. They seem like a reliable platform to start with - guys in the Gatebil and Berg Cup communities think very highly of them. By the time you get the luxury road-spec leather and carpet and aircon and sound deadening squeezed in 850kgs will be hard to pull off I think, even in (basically) full carbon. But I'm more than happy to be proved wrong! Hope to see it all happen :D
I‘n starting a 968 restomod at the Moment, and maybe i‘ll film it too. Glad a couple people started working on transaxles in recent years. Greetz from Germany, looking forward to it!
Very Cool look forward to seeing how the build goes! Great platform I have both a 944 and a 924s. Love that roof, would love one in my 924s rallycross car
Great work guys. The 2.5 is a great engine but you’ve got to look after it. Definitely shim the liners running that power, if not a full brace. In terms of the actual project for the car, it looks fantastic and should perform brilliantly too. I like the plan and can’t wait to see it develop. I’m in!
If they had designed the 924 originally with your subtle changes to the body , they would have sold even more units. I really like the shape now , but not very keen on the original.
924 really???? Your body line changes do however make a massive difference to gow ugly it was stock. Are you looking for a stock RS motor outcome or more power? Stand alone ECU would be a good idea to make everything talk to everything else. If you go for newer turbo design it is worth the effort of moving away from an integrated wastegate. Get an electronically controlled Turbosmart wastegate as these give you complete control over boost. Otherwise you will need to use throttle position to compensate for poor boost control. Less chance of boom!

Going to be a killer build guys. So keen to see future videos on it
Amazing! Really looking forward to seeing this project progress. Good luck!
Can't wait man!
Great job guys can't wait to see more
Sweet project, fellas!! Love the concept👍👍
A Kiwi in the US😜😜
Can’t wait to see the finish product. Best part is being able to follow the build from start to finish
Thanks! Will try keep ‘em coming in a timely manner
I'm veeery interested so - subscribed. Good luck with the project guys 👍
It's about time that someone changed the looks of this ugly car. Thanks guy's will definitely follow this build. Thanks for sharing
Such a sick project! Hopefully I’ll get to see it in person when its running
Awesome work
