Comeau Racing

924 Carrera GT project started…

Tim — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 03:14:40 +0000

Well, we’ve taken the first few baby steps in assembling the basic parts of the conversion. Honestly, we just needed to get some parts out of the shop! We bolted on the turbo struts, shocks, and brakes. It has the coilovers in the rear. Now, we have to get some 16″ wheels to clear the big brake calipers! We’re trying to find some basket weave racing wheels to make it look “period correct.”

Ted Frech podiums at POC/Willow Springs event!

Tim — Mon, 03 May 2010 16:11:41 +0000

In a car rented from us, Ted drove consistently, made some smart decisions, and ended up with a solid 3rd place finish! Piloting our latest red 924S, Ted hung with the pack until Jim Richmond and Don Neville had slight contact in turn 1, allowing him to get by and run hard the rest of the way to the checkered flag. Nice drive!

924 Carrera GT project

Tim — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 05:41:33 +0000

Please follow along as we convert a white 1987 924S into a beautiful 924 Carrera GT. We have the body kit in white gel coat. The chassis has already been pretty well stripped. We have the lexan covered fixed headlights, the european front bumper lights. Why start with a 924S? Because we needed the narrow body for the correct look, but wanted the more modern suspension and engine mounting points. What engine will be mounted? a 2.5 NA? 2.7 NA, a 2.5 951? How about my choice? A FAT, THUMPER OF A 3.2 NA!! Been there…..it was great! No lag. Just pure 944 performance.

Tim — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 05:05:15 +0000

We’ve had an average of over 20 cars show up the last couple events. 924’s, 924S’s, all 944 types, 968’s are all welcome! I remember the first at Foster’s Freeze when we had just 7! At the last gathering, we hung out at the race shop for a while, had lunch together, then drove around San Diego in a big group. Pretty cool. Now, the guys are talking about a big BBQ? Make sure your PORSCHE is in the next big group photo!

How to Heel & Toe

Marc — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 21:25:41 +0000

Our heel toe hero, Tim Comeau, shows us how to heel & toe. For those of us who don’t know, heel & toe (or heel/toe) is a technique used to rev the engine up while braking and downshifting, all at the same time. It takes some practice but allows the driver to rev-match the engine to the downshift, thus putting the tranny in the right gear to accelerate out of the turn without unsettling car.

Watch Tim’s feet in the video below as he pretends he’s flying around a make believe race course just to test the camera’s filming position. Yes, he is calling out the gear changes in German (German car, German words…get it?). He even throws in some left foot breaking for good measure.
