I also have ridden in several cars that have been converted and most sucked ..........total pieces of crap. On the other hand I have a friend that also has a beautiful fuel injected car that is near show quality. Where you stop is what you are known by.
first hand knowledge is the best........everyone else is just a spectator.

I didn't mean to knock this board, my comment was intended as a general observation that advice paid for is valued more. I am the first to stand up and say how much I have gained and learned from the help freely offered by members and that I have found trawling the archives in search of an answer to a problem. More, perhaps, in less than a year of following this board than in over 20 years of Porsche ownership on my own. However, if you read some of the problemsolving threads you will sometimes see my view of free advice in action when the poster ignores qualified advice from someone like Warren and continues down his own road. Human nature?
Following on from a theme you touched on I would agree that the quality of work can be a justification and may make a "strangely" modded car more acceptable. Lets not forget however, how many butchered 911s are out there, victims of their owners' ideas and ignorance.
