Sweet car!!

What mods does it have. Do you have a carbon fiber shift knob? I heard those are good for 5hp plus it makes the 915 shift more quickly. :D

Seriously, what mods did the PO do besides the drivetrain. So it has a late 915 gearbox as well? Does the car have the stock 3.2 exhaust or the early exhaust?

I look forward to hearing more about your car. Enjoy your drive back to Indiana

I wasn't planning to, but I will try to make if you are going. When and where is the meeting? Kevin, if you decide to pull the motor on Sunday the 15th let me know. Thanks.

Neil,
Actually I have a MOMO cobra shift knob(in carbon fiber) to go in the car.;)
It has slotted rotors,the 915 transaxle, bilstien shocks,front and rear sways, recaros, harness bar, oversize mocal cooler w/thermostat, stock exhaust, etc. etc.

Brian,
It's at the Matterhorn Restaurant in Elkhart. Lot's of door prizes. You should go. It's Feb. 1st.

So the car has never been tracked.;) I don't know what Indiana smog laws are like, but if you can get away with it, you should install an early exhaust for a nice little HP boost. Not that it needs it though. Car sounds really nice.

If you are driving through Northeast Ohio (I-90 or I-80) let me know. I can meet you for lunch or a cup of coffee, depending on the time you come through?

Even if it is just for emergencies, I will drop you my number. Plenty of tools, and a good wrench if it is bigger than both of us?

very nice :)

The engine pic is impressive!

See the guy is his lil' Ol' Porsche going down the highway...little do they know the beast that lies beneath!!!:D

Good buy my friend!

That is Awesome...............

Vance,
I going the I80/90 route. I will be at the guys house at 2:30 PM Saturday in Ithica NY. I Plan to be on the road by 3:30 to 4:00. So shoot me your # and location and maybe we could grab a coffee or something.
I actually slept last night!:) I can't wait to get there. The owner sent pics of all the areas I was concerned about(battery boxs, torsion tubes) looks like a solid car. It's not a show car...but I like drivers anyway.
I already have a list in my head of go-fast parts.:D

vesnyder 12-05-2002 04:29 AM

Left you a PM - hopefully we can hook up! Have a safe ride!

Deeks 12-05-2002 07:05 AM

Congratulations Thrown....:)
You've done well for yourself.
Very tidy looking engine compartment too.....

I still can't believe how much 911 you guys in the States can get for your money. I'm sure you're new car would be valued at around $20,000 US or at least £15,000 in the UK.

Have a blast on the drive home :cool: though beware, the pigs will see you coming a mile away !!!!

thrown_hammer 12-05-2002 07:13 AM

Deeks,
Hopefully I will see them a mile away with my trusty detector.:D

Schuey 12-05-2002 07:38 AM

WOW, that is nice...love the 3.2 in a '73...maybe you should record that Mazda zoom-zoom-zoom song for the ride home :D do you have interior pic's? looks like the fenders are flared too...also if you mind me asking, what did you drop for it? I just purchased a '82 911SC for $12,000, it's beautiful, but in the garage until spring :(

Later,

Kevin
