    How do you keep the dust out of that place? Or do you have a band of Oompa-Loompas that run around after dark, cleaning everything?

    That is a very cool Porsche but I’m still stumped, a 968 with a vent? In the bonnet
    No idea but interesting car nonetheless

    Don't worry about Rob.... He thinks ABS stands for A Big Sheila, which he is.

    Factory made 4 LHD RS turbo cars. Many years ago they also made available a few kits to convert CS to RS. Peter Fitzgerald bought three kits and a bloke in UK did too but never built them. Peter Fitz ended up buying the UK kits also and created initially 4 cars, one for himself and three customers and then about three years ago got approached to make one more, so five in total.

    Rear wing is adjustable, front spoiler different, inlet manifold and head and suspension. Front nose has larger openings to pull air over intercooler and then bonnet vent to get rid of the air.

    So you could call it an RS replica as it's all Porsche parts as per the factory cars, but the five made by Peter Fitz were RHD so a 'modified replica' might be more accurate?

    The plan is to create a positive pressure environment. Not quite there yet, but close. Huge evaporative air conditioner fan unit from a school hall. Good for about 600 sq/m of open space. (shed is 1200 sq/m so needs to be divided) Remove the water panels and replace with air filtration panels. 48v motor so run off solar and battery. Keep pumping pressure into the space through the filters. The positive pressure produced will continuously push out of the building, under doors, through the ridge, every nook and crack will lose air constantly. But if air is pushing out of the building all the time, then dust cant get into the building unless you introduce it, like from a power saw or a sander or something like that.
    If you open the door and walk in from outside, you might feel a little wind on your face as you enter, but with the doors closed up you don't feel airflow in the shed, it's just a slight air pressure increase.

    I thought it was one of those, but never saw a black one. Ran against a couple in Targa 1996. AFAIR, he had to put different heads on to get the plumbing to fit - flowed less, but overcome by the turbo. Pretty quick things.
