Hey Guys... It's my car.
Thanks for all the compliments on the car. It has been a LOT of work (especially the updated interior).
Yes there are a few things left to do (install the new TRE roll bar, install a set of those trick billet lower valve covers, and figure out a nice rear speaker enclosure solution to take advantage of the A/D/S PQ 20.2 amp), but for the most part... it's done.
The car has the a/c system in tact with the exception of the compressor. And, I've got the 3.2 compressor and compressor bracketry for the car. And I've already swapped out the Clewett billet single pulley for a Clewett billet double groove pulley in anticipation of reinstalling the a/c. So to put a/c back on the car is really not that big a deal.
Smog. You're on your own. But it's never been a problem for me here in SoCal (wink wink). In fact the registration is current through July 2008.
Why am I selling it? I dunno. Bored. If I keep it, I'm gonna have to turbo it. That's the only thing left to do (and I've been missing my boost fix in a bad way lately!). This [anticipation of turbo charging this car] is the reason I dumped the PMO carbs and went to the TWM/TEC3r fuel injection. I've just not gotten around to pulling the engine and swapping out the pistions/cylinders/rods for a new set of low compression JE's/aftermarket rod. The rest of the turbo kit is straight forward affair.
Then I figured... if I was going to turbo it, maybe I should simply stuff a 993TT motor in it? Then I came to my senses and realized that I'd have to put in a G50 to deal with the power. Of course.. I'd want a shortend bell housing G50 from Patrick Motorsport, steel syncros, LSD. And then I'd for sure want a this and a that. On and on and on....
In the end, I came to the realization that this was as far as I wanted to take this car. I'm done. If I continue on, it will be another $15k - $20k that I put into this car, after selling this engine, to continue the project, and it's simply not the right car to be into for for upwards of $65k-$75k.
Who ever buys this car will for sure get a great one-of-a-kind Porsche. Most certainly a sleeper (the muffler gives it away though), and a great weekend fun car that also happens to run with some fast company on the track. FYI... just had it on the track last weekend (streets of willow) with the Shelby club (easy prey :-). Brakes worked great, oil temps stayed in check, car handled amazing, zero issues.
Anyway... thanks again for the compliments.
So, this car will go.
Next up: 993 GT2 replica
