Your whifey drives a 911 Turbo? Damn...

I think he means every man and his dog had them fitted to out modify the next chap. :)

My '91 was imported to NZ from Japan (Still has the Mizwa dealer sticker on the hatch) and yeah, RHD (which is very handy for here!) but my PO didn't succumb to the flared arch craze peer pressure.

Thanks... yes it did have these funny extensions under the bumper with the reflectors. One picture below from the day I got the car and you can see them. Since then they are off the car. The rear fender flairs are factory GTS flairs installed at the factory option XG8 if I remember correctly and they paved the way for the GTS model. The front flares are uniquely to the Japanese market and appear on all GTS models bound for Japan.
I dont have too many pics yet, the weather in Vancouver has been very tough to keep it clean and get some nice pics. I attach some from a recent trip to the Oregon Coast.

The color is Amethyst Mettalic, pretty neat indeed.

Thanks. No this is a Euro left hand drive. A lot of 928's imported to Japan were left hand drive.

Actually every photo of the S4 Exclusive model I have seen has these front flares. They continued on to the GTS that were Japanese bound, so I highly doubt that this is the case. The S4's usually did not come with them, however mine is a bit of a different model, more along the lines of the GTS.

I love the look of the west coast burgundy S4. it certainly is a special car.
I recognize all the 928's from the Porsche Museum, minus the one from the car park. Rolled my baby out of the garage during a winter thaw for a current picture with its 18inch wheels.

I just picked this car up in December. Always wanted a 928, and now I have one! Pretty clean 1986.5, and most everything works!

where's the rear spoiler? Didn't think it was an option to delete it, requires fender/deck lid paint work to repair holes/tabs if not.

M.

Yes, I was wondering the same thing. Looks sharp though.

Oh, wait a minute! It's a repaint. Look at the painted rubber gasket between the Rear/Front Bumper and Body. Arghhhhh, I hate it when painters don't do this part right.

Yes, repainted. Was the burgundy color. It's a decent job, all the weatherstripping was replaced at the same time. I have a brand new spoiler and the 2 side pieces that came with the car, but I know why they weren't installed now. The hatch itself seems to be an S4 model from where the holes would be drilled for mounting. So, the path of least resistance is to get the rest of the rear glass molding and call it done. :-) The path of next least resistance is to sell the parts I have and get an S4 spoiler and install.

I guess I should do intro thread and everything, but I'll be around here a bit from here on out. I'm really enjoying this car!!

Hi Milkman383. SmileWavy I hope to see more new people posting their pictures on here.

milkman, nice car. as for the painted gaskets between the bumpers i like it. i will be repainting my car this summer and have been thinking of painting my gaskets as well. if i dont like them i'll take them off and install new black ones!

MP, love your cars but Arghhh i hate when people put rear spoilers on OBs :) each to there own.

having said that i had a s4 rear spoiler on my white 79, i took it off and gave it to a friend for his civic, and my daughter and wife r not happy they like spoilers too i guess!

Ha ha!! You have to read milkmans posts more clearly, he will also put an S4 Wing on his since his hatch is an S4 hatch.

Also, removing the gaskets "after" painting over them will yield an Effed up paint job. Remember the paint will also create a seal in between the Bumper/Body and Gaskets. Now your gonna have to sand that part down and Primer, Repaint and Clear (way too shiny to not have clear on it.) before you put new Rubber Gaskets on. The way I see it and say it, do it correct the "first" time ;)

Please SAVE the Green one! I love that Color Combo (Green/Tan) as well.

thanks MP i'm gonna save both of them;)

Yessssssssssss :D

I'll see your pair of 911's and raise you 6, count 'em 6 928 GTS's. :-)

Awesome pics!

The roads are still far too bad around here for me to increase my stable - apart from this action:

Still waiting on a Burago MIB and of course, there is the big one in the garage...

A Matchbox #59 in Gold (Bonus with the hologram wheels) still eludes me.

Very happy when I got the Transformer still on the card - to match the other two that are a little worse for wear. Well, that and the final-run-before-they-destroyed-the-die Hotwheels.

Is your Shift Handle backwards? Button on the right?

I was actually born with two left hands, so thats a pretty easy accommodation.:eek:

Actually not...but the handle it is a replacement installed by P/O.

Interesting point, I ddin't realize that is different than normal, I'll have to compare with the original.

I was trying to beat Riber to the detail ;)

Our Trannies should be the same one. Here is my Stock handle after returning from Paul Champagne.

I have 2 Right hands ;)

Good eye. I went back to the seller's flickr page (I'm on travel at the moment), shifters are different (between our two cars). If it isn't a model year variation that means I have less bad feelings about going to an alternative, generally I've been trying to check my tendency to customize as this car as my 86.5 is very original/low/mile etc.
Suppose I can price getting the original recovered and reinstalling, but doubt that anyone has the grey-green to make it worthwhile.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1329170926.jpg

Just checked the schematics online. There are different part numbers for handle breaking at 84 model year.

Have you tried to flip it around? I believe it was 1 or 2 screws under the rubber cover, just make sure to catch the large spring before it finds your eye ;)

Yeah, my Button looks like it's for a 2 year old (fat n round).

Took a road trip this weekend, and at a lunch stop my dog Borla decided he wanted to drive!!

milkman383, I like this car and especially the wheels. What happened to the rear spoiler again?

The PO to the PO was restoring the car and replaced the hatch with an S4 one (no idea why, can't find any evidence of body damage), so no provisions for the brand new S3 spoiler parts I got with the car. So, I'm either going to do nothing or sell my S3 stuff and get S4 stuff, I've not decided.
-jeff

I think a nice stock black S4 wing will look sweet on that red car. Although, I am partial to that look.

I agree... If anyone knows of someone looking for new stock S3 wing parts, or someone selling a good used black S4 wing, let me know!!
