I'm lucky that I have a few sets of correct wheels. I know the decal that you are talking about, and you are right, it is a great look, but this car being the only one, I'm not going to mod it (it already has chip & exhaust, but I have the stock parts too) Here is what it came with..

Such a nice car, in the condition it looks to be like, it's worth to keep without modding. I'd probably do the same and, if I need to replace something, would probably stick to what the factory offered at the moment.

I've watched too many people hack up one-off, or similarly rare cars.
I'm amazed at how many people seem to hack up 951s at all. There were a relativley few of them in total. 25K world wide and only roughly 14K in the US. Yet people act like there are a billion of them around and can part them, crash them etc with no reguard.
To put this in perspective Ford made over 500,000 1965 Mustangs alone. GM makes over 1,000,000 pick up trucks EVERY year.

Most of the highly modified ones are 86-87 951's. Most turbo S or 89 turbo owners tend to keep them fairly stock. Chips, AFM and maybe wastegate. Stock AFM is restrictive and stock wastegate are old and tend to be more costly to replace if you use OEM. For me I use this setup since it retains the stock look. http://www.pauertuning.com/index_files/Scivision.htm

Thanks, being the only one, makes it worth keeping all the stock bits. I just need to figure out if I' going to use my satin of polish Club Sport wheels on it..

You said you were going to put the OEM wheels on back on. What are you doing with the ones that are on there now? I have an 88 turbo RED with 58,000 miles on it. I'd like to update/change the original phone dial wheels to something else.

I may keep them for street use, as I'm going to have my factory wheels restored to brand new.. If you are wanting some wheels, I do have these for sale.
A set of 7&8X16 968 rims.
And
I have a set of 8&10X17 ATP wheels off a 964.

Thanks guys, I remember when these came out, only stightly shower than a 930 & $10K less, less than a Grand and it is faster with a ligher top speed. This kinda makes me want to build the black Turbo "S" race tub & have been sitting on...
sorry for the noob question but how can you tell the difference between the turbo and the S? I herd it was something like 88.5-89 turbos were all S's
Major difference is S spec: Bigger turbo, adjustable koni suspension, forged wheels (16x7fr-16x9rr), trans cooler, body is seam welded for added strength, LSD, & bigger front brakes from the 928 S4, I think thats about it!
