What does everyone want to see as far as tech articles go? Are there certain years of Porsches you want to see covered; early 911s, 944 turbos let us know.

Are you interested in seeing motor mods, suspension mods, body mods what can we show you?

You probably have to do most all model tech articles but I'm particularly interested in the 951 and 993 engine tech tips.  I bought a 951 to keep my 993 company when you guy's started project 951 but I'm progressing far slower than you.  Just a tip that probably should have been emphisised is; If you are going to track the car don't waste your time and money on a nonlimited slip model.  Oh ya, and any tips on improving performance for the Toureg's VR6 would be helpful too!!

Thanks for the feed back. I think the comment about the LSD cars goes for jsut about any car not just the 951. I can't think of a single car that the addition of an LSD won't make a huge difference.

I will look into the 993 engine tech tips for you. I am sure there are several 993 owners out there that are getting to the point that they are considering a basic rebuild or an extensive modification program for their cars. I myself have an older 911 that I would like to do a 3.6 swap into.

The thought of a Touareg tech article is intriguing, we will definitely look into that one too.

Thanks.  The 993 is due for a power boost.  Anyone have a REASONABLE price on a LSD for a 951?

I want to know what Porsche engines fit (with *reasonable* body/chassis mods) into what Porsche cars. For example, I have a 2003 BoxsterS that Ruf will drop a 3.6L 996 engine into, if I have $35K lying around. But can I drop in a 996TT engine? I'd like to see a compatibility matrix with Porsche models on one axis and Porsche motors on the other axis.
