Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I also used some wheel spacers that resulted in the tires extending beyond the body about 1/2" but it was fast.

My son had his heart set on a 911 Turbo for his Cub Scout Packs annual pinewood derby, so after many hours of my carving and his painting and wing attachment we had a rather unique Porsche.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This is inconsistent with many of the posts on this board, but a couple weeks ago I finished two track mods for the 996 that consisted of adding weight and raising the hieght of the car. The results were amazing on the track. Took first place in all heat races and second overall by a margin of a quarter car length. I also used some wheel spacers that resulted in the tires extending beyond the body about 1/2" but it was fast. I also added a rear wing. I will post some pics when I get a chance. Kris

POST 2Original post

Maybe if you add more weight and make it still higher, it will be even faster. AS

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK, so I believe I have figured out how to upload a picture.

POST 4Original post

THAT is excellent. nice work. (ahhhhh the memories)

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Success!! My son had his heart set on a 911 Turbo for his Cub Scout Packs annual pinewood derby, so after many hours of my carving and his painting and wing attachment we had a rather unique Porsche. We did have to add weight and increase the ground clearance in order for it to be fast. He was very excited as in addition to a 1st place trophy for his Wolve Pack he got a 2nd place overall trophy for all the levels of Cub Scouts. He also got 3rd overall for design and with very little help from dad! I was a bit biased and it being the only Porsche there, thought it should have received 1st place in design by default. It lost to a Lizzard Car! Kris

POST 6Original post

Congratulations on your win! And, congratulations for such a great father/son project.

POST 7Original post

A black 996 race car with grey letters! This kid is good. Tell #49 that #89 looks forward to seeing him on the track in about 10 years. Jim

POST 8Original post

That's a great car. Thanks for the post. Brought back some good memories of my first pinewood derby.
