Skidmarks Posted 21June, 2020 Report Share Posted 21June, 2020 Calling all reprobates A mate and his dad are each looking at buying series 1 996’s and turning them into off road bashers. So, they called me and said what do you think? Silly boys! Of course it’s good idea! The cars will hit proper 4 WD tracks. The project is to retrace where previous generations of the family farmed in north west Victoria So .... whatever they fit needs to be able to be reversed although they might not care too much Your task - help me to come up with a spec. What should they do to the cars? Tour time starts .......... NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiptronic to start with, because there's more of them, cheaper, and some would say they are perhaps more "disposable" than manuals......

Not sure I can talk Senior into this. Or junior. They’ve bought cars. Priced the work. I’ll try and get updates from them as well as pics of the build.

White_996 Posted 22September, 2020 Report Share Posted 22September, 2020 Hi Skidmarks Hows the build going? Any updates? I'm interested in suspension mods, wheels and tyre choices etc? I found this video when killing time on the google box. Cheers Vin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
