anyone know anything about Porsche 968's?
besides what's on the wiki

 

Yea, it's a porsche =]

So I tore the dash out of my FD today, it was a pain in the dam ***. I tore it out only to realize how much of a hack job the previous owner did on it. It's insane. What really pisses me off is when I turn on the defroster, it switches on my rear windshield wiper, wtf?

Now to get in the new dash. I can hardly wait.

 

yeah and they look like this

very FCish
anyway the one I was looking at already gone

 

That's not my favorite model Porsche, but if the price was right....

 

not at the top of my list either, I rather have a 911 variant
but the guy was selling for $6300
which was right at blue book value for a 93

 

psh, blue book value is for losers, GreatShamanGT book is for winners. In my book, everyone gets free stuff =]

Too bad no one goes by my book. =[

Not even me, lol.

 

anyway, it's time to paint the Miata (I'm thinkin somewhere in May)
who's got some car painter contacts?
Robin I know Grey said he was looking to do some.
I want it painted the darkest evillist shade of green possible, almost to the point of being black but not, at least not in daylight
BRG on crack basically

 

I've got a guy that will paint for $400 you supply paint. He used to restore old cars.

 

does that include all the prep work then - priming, sanding, and blocking?

 

Yes, I would definetley like to know the answer to that...

 

yes it does, but you need to discuss the details with him. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll try and get in touch with him.

 

Would anyone be interested in my 91 RX-7?
I going to list at the end of the month for $3k
it's $2500 for any of you guys though
ALL the electrical work; cruise, ac/heat, rear windsheild wiper, defroster, etc...
5 spd, CF hood with Aerocatch latches, Tein springs, KYB AGX adj sytruts
DC motorsports front strut bar, Cusco rear strut bar
Koyo racing radiator with efan on toggle switch

also

will be selling off some parts and stuff seperate:

Dave needs money to purchase secret project vehicle
muahahahahahahahaha


also

Miata may go up on the chopping block come September
for about the same price


EDIT: don't worry this is not for a 968

 

I am interested in that CF hood you have.......If you were willing to sell that separate...Do you have the original hood to that car?

 

Sorry no, I don't have the original hood the CF hood is going to have to stay.
It's a Carbon Creations hood that retails for around $700 plus now with the installed latches, I'd be looking for a matching replacement aluminum hood plus several hundreds of dollars to part it out. (then i'd have to go find/buy another hood latching mechanism etc... it's be a pain in my *** basically)

The car will have a fresh inspection sticker before it sells

for the Full $3k I'd throw in every last bit of my RX-7 stuff

 

price applies friends and family
I could even pony up a finders fee

Dave is now pre-approved for loan
inspecting vehicle tomorrow
and will hopefully purchase by the weekend

whoever gets me a buyer (or is the buyer themselves) get's the first ride in
Daves Super Secret Project

I'd give it a name but Pierce would immediatly know what I was getting - he watches too much damn anime.

 

lol, I'm asian, I think I outdo him in watching anime. =]

Wouldn't be a 240z or sumthin like that would it?

 

DAMN dude! I think I know EXACTLY what it is... Just the word ANIME gave it away for me...

But it completely sucks that you're 100% out of the FC world... I never even really got to see the white one... Extensively.... Lol... Maybe I should buy this one as well eh?? Hmm... I know for sure I'd be interested in some of your parts, like that vLSD and a few other things. I'm also a bit interested in your Miata though too... I've been looking at them a lot recently (for some reason, got the itch to buy another car again... SAVE ME!) and will be interested in seeing that FS thread when it gets posted.

In other news:

I NEED A DRIVESHAFT LIKE FREAKING YESTERDAY!!! Has anyone got a spare FC driveshaft I could buy off of them? My U-joints are bad, I've ordered new ones a week ago, but I haven't even gotten the Email confirmation yet... I need to get to VIR this weekend!! Please help me! TY in advance!

 

if it pans out i'll let everyone know by this weekend .......maybe
it is in the Wangan Midnight/Intial D/Ex-Driver realm of things

 

I'm sure the white FC will make it down to a few Friday nights before she is sold
I'm not sure you really know what - i'm looking at, pm me

the driveshaft is going AGAIN??

 

Hey whats up? I have a random question lol. I was wondering if anyone here in richmond works on FBs. I see alot of FCs on the road and now since spring is here i see some FDs coming out, but i dont see too many 1st gens around. Im only wondering because id like to meet up with some 1st gen owners to answer some of my questions and see if anyone around has done a TII swap into theirs, cuz that would be bad *** to see.

Based upon what you have expressed to me, I've got two in mind that it could be. One, well lets face it, couldn't possibly be. And the second... Would be pretty freaking badass. I am going to PM you my ideas, but I DON"T want you to tell me whether I'm right or wrong. I want to see it, and then know. I just want you to know for sure that I was right!

It is, the U-joints have gone bad. It's all good though, my new ones came in today which is a HUGE relief.

 

Actually, you know what Dave I just thought of another possibility... So 3 all together. Here comes the PM!

 

Does he by any chance work off of Midlothian?

 

yup, Research Road
NASA head tech inspector
