I bought Mason's 86.5 Iris
After a couple of moths of working out the details, getting the parts list together and agreeing on the total price with shipping. I finnaly received my 86.5 5sp Limited slip that I bought from Mason of 928 World Wide. I know that there has been some Mason bashing on this forum and him and I even went a round over a comment on the board once but, I am extremely pleased to say that...... This deal went perfect. (as with my previous transaction with him)
This car is awsome. Very solid and extremely fast. I drove another 86.5 (auto) and it was nothing like this car power wise. It has been chipped and has a modified exhaust (sounds like a dream) and a K&N. All I can say power wise is WOW!!! Oh, and I guess I should say that I tested the LSD and it works. lol I do have some interior work to do but Mason has sent me almost all of the parts and I only await a few things. I've already cut the center console for my Double Din Kenwood and I'll be running speaker and amp wires today. I have decided to keep the Black S4 seats that I bought from Kevin Michaels and I'm not real sure what to do with the seats in this car. They sure are nice. Anyone? (they are tan and out of a 911 or something) I'm eventually going Champagne 2 for color inside so I will also have some really nice front black leathers for sale here in a few months. I also got a new carpet kit with the deal. It's black and is for sale since I'm not going black. Mason left the 928 MotorSports strut brace on the car as well. This car also has Porkntensioner installed. The wheels are awsome and the tires are brand new. The car drives very smoothly. Suspension is in great shape and mason already did the steering rack. I'm so pleased.
I do have a few bugs to work out but nothing that wasn't disclosed. The Throw-out bearing feels a little rough. How hard is it to swap?
All in all this car was more than Mason promised. I'm now wondering if the problems people are having with 928 WorldWide are simply growing pains. Thanks Mason for your honesty about this car and your willingness to work with me and my budget. You will be hearing your phone ring next time I need something used.
