Yeah, so I paid $700 bucks for this thing. Needs a clutch and a few other tidbits. Looks damn good sitting in my yard though.

Yes the yellow looks like fail. As is the steering wheel.

What do you guys think? The dizzy mounts on the end of the cam, and im fairly certain it wont be difficult to mount an OBD1 honda dizzy there, since the tophalf of the timing cover is metal. I dunno. We'll see how it goes. EcTune ran Porsche doesnt sound too bad to me. The entire bottom end is forged from the factory, with studs in the important places. Most of the brighter folks are putting 500 down on the stock bottom end, not too shabby.

You cant tell from the pics, but the engine and turbo are from an 88 Turbo S model, which had 247hp instead of the base 217hp the 86 had. As it sits it just has a half assed exhaust and autothority chips w/ manual boost controller.

The interior and exterior are very decent and don't look like from the 80's. Great find.

don't turn into a rennfag. you could make double your money parting it out, but those cars (at least the 951's) are fun as ---- to drive.

Ive pulled a few trans out before. Porsche tech remember? I wont lie it ------- sucks and im not looking foward to it. Although the thought has crossed my mind to cut the spare tire well out...

EcTune will work if I stick honda ecu/dizzy/sensors/etc on it. The stock VR sensors suck ass and are notorious for going out. Not to mention expensive as ----. The main purpose being to get away from the MAF and stock sensors. Not to mention the OBD1 honda ecu is the best damn standalone you can get for the money.

I dunno why ppl call it that. Cheap to buy, expensive to maintain. 928 is much worse.

Anything that says Porsche on it you pay the tax.

I own the $300 belt tension tool. Got a belt sitting in the bottom of my toolbox waiting.

I think ill keep this one for a hot minute. Id much rather have a late 80's 911SC, but ill settle for this right now. At least till the wife gets her Nursing license.

I have the means and the ability so I might as well build it. 2.5L's are still easy to find if I pop it.

If you aren't going to put it up on blocks it needs to be parked in the back yard, Rob.

But there's more room in the front yard. Are you gonna take the fence down in the back? I didnt think so.

Im thinking about dragging the 1/3 of a single wide trailer in this pic up into the front yard to use as a shed instead of buying one.

What do you think?

The more it looks like the trailerpark the more I feel at home.

Around here 700 will get you a beat up to hell 944. I would totally have bought that for so cheap. Only deal like that i found was a 300 dollar rust-less 84 toyota cressida, i wrecked it a week later andgot 3k of insurance for it. Nice find man

I'd say thats a steal for 700 beans, I went for a ride in one with my uncle years ago and it was ------- nice.

Re: I spend money on stuff I shouldnt. 56K Die a firey, violent death.
 
fuel pump, wheel bearings, calipers, clutch, belts, and bushings. Good for another 30K. :6 Nice steal. Fix it, run it, resell it. Don't cut it up.

Sweet jesus, I just got onto a real computer where I could see the pictures. I hadn't seen underhood before, that yellow is ------- hideous. :X

My powdercoater is next to the dryer, Rob. May god watch over and guide your hand.
