nooB here with question about

[dtw]

Congratulations on your purchase of the elusive Lamborgheetle.

Sure, you're going to have Civic DXs eating your lunch, but at least you'll look good doing it.

If this is Mike or one of the other jokers having a late April 1 joke on us, then well played.

It looked hella sweet so I jumped on it.

It’s all hooked up with expensive Diablo rims and the “turbo” body kit and a decent stereo. The Porsche needs work no doubt but I can fix cars pretty good for a 19 year old...my first car wuz a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse I fixed up a bit but got stolen and I got paid out, so now I got the Porsche and $2000 to fix it! I don’t know much about Porsches but I dreamed about a 911 Turbo since seeing the movie BadBoyz growin up.

One thing tho is that it doesn’t have have much go power…my Eclipse non-turbo would smoke it. The car says “911S” on the rear lid and the dash, and I googled it and that’s the most powerful 911 in the 70s around 200hp stock. But my pink says “912E” when I asked about that he said ”that’s just what they called the base model of the 911…same car”. I googled 912Es and what he said is true but it has a smaller engine? So how do I tell what model I got can ya tell from the pics? And what should I check for when the power is low. It don’t smoke or anything so I hope it don’t need rebuilt.

Thx for ur help.

OMG! I am rolling on the floor!

>>If you like the car as an "image car", and want to learn more about these classics -

Yup that's how Im thinkin now...perfect car for stylin thru college then Ill make some doh and make it kick ass fast. Chicks at college dont care how fast it is just how it looks at da club LOL!

>>Great! But I kind of get the impression you might be happier in a different car, say a modified WRX.

No way...only spoilt college frat boys drive them. Porsche is just my style.

OK I will go to the 912 board then. I dont have $7500 for a 911 motor thats more than my car! The dude I bought it from said I should do a Rennegate Chevy conversion if I want more power for cheap which is what he was gonna do with it but taht sounds like a ton of work. Not to mention why put a Chevy motor in a Porsche.

Byby 912 hatuz LOL! Just kiddin thanks for your help.

This is from a college student. (I wonder at which college or university this gentleman has matriculated?)

A college student who doesn't know the difference between a 911 and a 912, but has decided "Porsche is just [more] my style" ?

Makes me want to go back to classic British sports cars.

I fear for our collective future.

(BTW, I agree this is probably a joke, as the writing style is just so stereotypically absurd and ignoramus-like, but it's fun to play along.)

Yo Playa 'sup son heres tha' word
Aiiiggght loose the dubs, do some research at yo crib, loose the 'Bad Boyz' body kit, take #3 back to its original state, save to put your money into a Jake Raby monster motor.
As it is yo sell those wheels to someone with a 89 Caprice & get some Fuchs or better for your budget Cookies (not the kind from Pepperidge farm) you will be better off,
Don't forget 'G' the E its a considerably lighter mid engined car, if the compact cars pass you on the straight see which of them can out corner you, your homies ridin' witcha can throw up gang signs, spray on 'I am King' aftershave or flash the Mossburg as you pass.

Flipside ... go get yo burner and front on his jujitsu ass.
Peace .

Typical Cost of a 300 HP Conversion Project

The following list reflects the typical cost of converting a 911, 912, or 930 to a 300 hp Chevy. This list assumes you will use conversion parts supplied by Renegade. If you wish to do some of the fabrication yourself or wish to install used parts, this will enable you to save money. Although utilizing used parts is definitely a cost saving measure, more time and effort will be required to locate and adapt these parts.

The basic engine kit is exclusive to Renegade Hybrids. The parts included in this kit are custom made in-house, through fabrication or modification. None of these parts can be readily obtained form any other source. Other components required for the conversion can be fabricated or purchased from other sources. However, the easiest and most expedient way to complete the entire conversion is to purchase the components offered by Renegade.

$2,000 250 HP MOTOR FROM CHEVY W/ ACCESSORIES
$1,749 RENEGADE 911 V8 CONVERSION (NON A/C)
$350 RENEGADE CUSTOM HEADERS
$280 REAR TORSION BARS (30MM)
$1,100 CUSTOM ALUMINUM RADIATOR AND DUAL FAN PACKAGE W/ ALL REQUIRED MOUNTING AND DUCTING SHEET ALUMINUM
$850 NEW, ALL ALUMINUM, 16 GAL, GAS TANK
$120 COOLANT HOSE TO RUN FROM RADIATOR TO MOTOR
$6,250 TOTAL
Optional Upgrade

$375 KEVLAR "SPORT" CLUTCH DISC
$295 HIGH PERFORMANCE PRESSURE PLATE
$6,919 GRAND TOTAL

Not doubt Playa gave everyone here a laugh to start with, but instead of getting pissed and leaving the board, he stuck around and modified his writing to make us old farts happy. Now it turns out that due to his inexperience, he got taken on the car. Not like that hasn't ever happened to any of us. That aside, he is sticking around. He has already received some good advice. Might as well see what he can do to at least make it presentable.

Hell if Playa can keep the dollahs on the low side he be havin one sweet ride!

Welcome to the board Playa!

[barndoor]

Playa,
I think you should listen to the guy that sold you the car,after all he's a nice guy and Tai-Chi expert.
Go with the "Rennegate Chevy" conversion.
I think there is a site for those,called Rennpage or somthing like that....

[seafood10]

I had to double check and make sure that I was on PelicanParts.com and PelicanPizarts.BOY

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Just substitute 911 for G5.

[hcariss]

Did you have to use the "p" word (poser)? I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

Seriously, he's got the equivalent of a VW-engined kit car to impress the ladies. One with questionable heat, little or no A/C, no horsepower, expensive repair and service costs, and (probably) a lot of rust under the "bling." But aside from that.....

I respect 912's, as I do all Porsches (even water-cooled ones), but a customized one as a "poseur" car ?!?!

BTW, one should be suspicious of any car with a lot of body work and white paint. It is the best color for hiding flaws, according to the guys who ran the body shop I worked in many years ago.

[barndoor]

Hot Vette ?
Oh,you mean stolen.

[snbush67]

Poser = outside > inside (sheep in wolves clothing)

Sleeper = inside > outside (wolf in sheeps clothing)

This is an example of a "Sleeper" early car with a 3.0 in innocent unassuming trim: Hot rod targa

I really like this, this is the type that you get a glimpse of try to catch up to to get a closer peek, and he's gone.

So, like an M491.

If the factory thought of it it doesn't count.

targa-cabs have nothing to do with posing. When you go out of your way to make people believe your car is something it's not, such as badging a car as a turbo when it's not) you might be a poser. And yes, I'd say there is an acceptable ratio of dollars spent on horse-power compared to appearance that has to be considered.

To my mind, the car is a bit too flashy considering the pedestrian driveline. Any race that is lost by this car Especially to Minivans and Hondas) reflects poorly on the breed. It certainly fails the Power Mods/Appearance Mods test and the 911S badge needs to come off this second. Otherwise... I spend most of my time putting around in my car on the street anyway. Assuming it's not totaly rotted out, I think 5K Might be close to market value?

[kidrock]

a little Armor All on the tires will make them Jet Fockin Black and look Hella Sweet.

I'm sorry...I just feel as if I've been Trolled.

Thinking about this thread a bit more (And , yes, I am a professional skeptic), I'm thinking more & more that it is either:

A frat pledge assignment, or

A Psychology class (or other class) assignment

Hmmmmm.....
