Wayne, Ensure you put the value of the book down as zero $0.00, as I've already paid the full duty on the original price when I received the preview copy.
Thanks again, can't wait!!!!

I'm also interested in this topic -- good quality information here is great to have on the shelf even if you don't expect to use it anytime soon (knock on wood).

My '96 993 NA motor isn't specifically covered, of course; and with the care its getting, shouldn't (touch wood) need help anytime soon. I think the only potential trouble spot on the 993 is premature exhaust valve guide wear -- okay, and those stupid air injection passages in the heads.

Anyway, can someone venture a guess on how much of the material in this book will still be relevant to a 993? I'm guessing 80-90%, but that's just my WAG. I know I've got twin plug heads, hydraulic lifters, and a different intake; besides that (and larger jugs ;) ) not sure how much has changed.

thanks,

RNH

Wayne, do I get "a deal" for supplying pics for the book?

jluetjen 03-26-2003 02:05 PM

I ordered mine!

makaio 03-26-2003 06:05 PM

Yahooooooo! Finally! I just ordered mine too. I just hope I don't have to put it to use anytime soon.

Dickster,

Sounds like a good plan, count me in!

Cheers

Tim, Dickster,

DOH, I wish I had waited now, my order went in yesterday....

Ah well!!!!

Cheers Jakes

dickster 03-27-2003 07:31 AM

jakes,

yeah i know - i couldn't believe you were so willing to part with your cash:D :D ;)

i figure if we get 10 orders we'll see about saving £10 each. might get a bulk discount - can't hurt to ask ;)

Dickster WTF, you haven't even got her back and you're floggin 'er already!!, how could you? :(

Cheers

dickster 03-27-2003 08:25 AM

tim,

i was wondering how long it would take! my grilfriend can't believe it.

you're right i know. but it looks like another couple of weeks before the friggin locks are gonna show. in the meantime i'm left thinking about that damn '78 i looked at. i phoned the guy and its still for sale. so the deal is i'm testing the water with mine, dont expect to sell, but if i do its for the '78 only. we have agreed to keep the other informed if anything happens.

could go either way.

btw - if you want a REAL good deal on a 930 brake conversion, SELL it for me!!!! ;)

i'll be happy to keep the '86 though, HONEST.

Hey, for shipping to the UK, we can send it Global Priority Mail, which should be $11.

-Wayne

Siena911 03-27-2003 09:45 PM

Wayne,

is Global priority mail the same as USPS global priority mail? If so my order showed it as $16.50

Doesn't really matter, but would like to know for future purchases

Dickster, are you getting rid of the Brakes then?

I thought you had managed to get all the pieces together by now. How far did you get with them?

Cheers Jakes

dickster 03-27-2003 10:32 PM

wayne,

$11 isn't so bad, can you confirm this? i tried ordering again and it does show up as $16.50.

jakes,

i have the complete kit now, minus the necessary to rebuild the front calipers - maybe £300 to fit new pistons etc. i'm only going to sell if i can get my hands on that 78 turbo;)

stevef 03-28-2003 08:46 AM

Wayne, Since I have already paid the customs duty on the preview copy price that includes the later shipping of the final book I assume the invoice/shipper accompanying the final shipment will read "no value" or whatever you need to put on the shipper so I don't end up paying double duty. Looking fwd to receiving the book

Overpaid Slacker 03-28-2003 09:57 AM

Congrats, Wayne -- it's got to feel great to have this project come to fruition. Just ordered one.

Can't wait to learn all the things that could be wrong with my motor and plague myself with reasons to tear it apart just to see if it really looks like that and if it will all go back together.

*Note to self - never buy Gray's Anatomy.

TurboBert 03-28-2003 09:36 PM

I just ordered one, Wayne. I'm looking forward to it.

dickster 03-29-2003 12:00 AM

wayne,

how do we get them posted internationally for $11?
