I like the painted crest on the spider - nice accent.

m21sniper 08-10-2009 07:58 AM

Thanks bro- did that by hand.

I like the clean look and classic silver color. Understated.

Mustang GT's of the day 90 to 2005 were no match for the 928.

No I enjoy whipping the snot out of the Fords at the local road course. My 914 puts them to shame including down the straight aways.

"Un-peeling and onion" very nice. I was able to change out the steering rack in like 20 minutes. of couse the rebuilt unit was 350 bucks.

The rack in a 928 is actually very simple to change. The shocks and motor mounts however?? Ugh....

The cam covers and brake booster?? Double-ugh...

PS: Thanks John

PSS: There is a ton of aftermarket specialist support for these cars, and several 928 forums with extremely knowledgeable posters. Any DIY'er should be able to handle 928 ownership no problem, but BUY A NICE ONE TO START, not a roach.

Thanks man! :)

PWD i was thinking about selling it, but i decided i'm going to paint it and keep it instead. :)

pwd72s 08-10-2009 12:18 PM

Keep it silver...lookin' good in that color..

m21sniper 08-10-2009 12:20 PM

Thanks! Just gonna freshen it up with the same color.

pwd72s 08-10-2009 05:08 PM

Yeah, the silver makes the car look smaller than it is. If the engine goes, you could always drop in a built up small block chevrolet...:D

m21sniper 08-10-2009 05:30 PM

I have fantasized about dropping a 3.8 SFI V-6 Buick Turbo motor in there in the past. Not only would i gain an EASY 100hp, i'd also save about 200+ lbs. That's a lot of weight to lose up front though, would make the 928 very tail happy, much like a 911.

pwd72s 08-10-2009 05:32 PM

Never looked at the weight stats...an all aluminum chevvy vs. the stock 928 engine? One out of a wrecked 'Vette might actually be lighter.

m21sniper 08-10-2009 05:48 PM

The 928 V-8 is an extremely heavy engine by displacement. An LS-1 chevy motor is about 250lbs lighter IIRC.

RWebb 08-10-2009 06:28 PM

yah - some of the wt. has to be the cam drive stuff

m21sniper 08-10-2009 06:46 PM

The 928 V-8 has a full main stud girdle and extremely thick cylinder walls, etc.

I've often wanted to do a 928 big block chevy swap, for some seroius torque! Hey Sniper what part of Philly are ya from? I occasionally miss Upper Dumpy and constantly miss a good cheese steak!!
