Porsche 944S with LSx

[JasonC]

Got this done, i wanted to do something different. It's not perfect, but i'm fairly happy. The rear diffuser should be body color, i found that out after i finished it..

Here's a rundown of what all is done;

color is a GM duplicolor (don't know name) It did crack in a few places.

engine out of a late model GTO

rear suspension is Subaru WRX

wheels from INITIAL D FD3S Mazda RX7

exhaust is solder and muffers from 69 Plymouth GTX

Pictures are a little dark since the sun wasn't out

Very sharp build. Nice work...

Looks great along with e30. What kit is it?

[JasonC]

Thanks, the e30 is a Fujimi and the Porsche is a Testors/Italeria.

Sharp build of a seldom modelled car. I like the choice of color. I built the Italeri model of the 944 Cabrio earlier this year so I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one to build a model of this sports car.

also like the color, but owning a 1:1 1983 944, the motor and suspension is blasphemous..... I've worked on and off combining the US bumpers from a Monogram 924 to the Testors Italeri kit to replicate my ride. Finding cookie cutter wheels was the big draw back and hold up. I finally did locate a Revell 911 kit that had them. Now, I have to finish mine. White over black.

Good looking ride, Man....I like the way you photographed it, too....It always makes for a much better looking model....And I really like the engine...It looks right at home, in there...

That color looks really good on a 944. With all that weight shift, including the loss of the transaxle, the excellent handling of this car must be like an eel now!

Probably. The handling of the car in normal for is more like a train on rails...

I used what i had laying around parts wise. Thats why that rear end ended up in it!

Nah, you're fine. I just never really explained why i did that i did lol. I wanted something different, but had limited parts to work with.

ORIGINALITY IS SUCH AN AWESOME THING WHEN BUILDING.I'M GONNA BE DOING A BIG H.P. V-8 FERRARI.LOL

NICE BUILD!!!

Looks great, I really like those rims they look great with the colour. Nice BMW too, can we see more of it?

As a owner of an old 911 i'm a fan of this (unpopular) Porsche. Whished i have one in good condition...now, yours looking very cool. Nice idea to change the engine and other parts
