924S wide arch kit and wide Fuchs pics

stv951 · Dec 20, 2014

Hello all,

just thought i would share some pics from my race 924S.

I am installing a wide arch kit and 7, 8x15 Fuchs.
The reason is: 3,0 S2 engine needs more traction

Here is the build. Not ready yet

Do you like ?

Here is before pics with 931 wheels

the wide arch conversion begins.

we need to cut the fenders so the wide Fuchs fit under the flares.

We plan to make a replica of the Lemans 924 turbo look

Interesting project you have there. I have never seen those arches on a 924 before, where did you get them from?

Very cool project. A lot of people won't like this sort of thing, but I am not one of them. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for your kind comments

Here's some progress
Car is now resprayed and is getting assembled.

Here are some pictures where you can see how we had to cut the wings to create some clearance for the wide 7 and 8x15 Fuchs

Loads of reworking on the flares too (extensions)

I know that many of you will say that i shouldnt have cut the fenders. Remember that this is a racecar with a 944 S2 engine. It begs for traction compared to the 924 turbo 6x15 that i used on the back
Lost it a bit under braking here....

and one with front wheel lift.

We are getting there. Still not decided what colour to paint Fuchs. Might got for black (safe) of white (pearl)

Here how she looks with flares assembled after painting.
