Uncle Posted 12February, 2013 Report Share Posted 12February, 2013 Might take me a few months to get it running. As for pics you better of hosting them on Photobucket then using the img tag's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
333pg333 Posted 12February, 2013 Report Share Posted 12February, 2013 They always do. I've learned to double the ETA on projects...and then add another 30%...sometimes this has almost been half of what it actually took! Hopefully it's way quicker for yours.

333pg333 Posted 14February, 2013 Report Share Posted 14February, 2013 G'day Wayne. Be good to catch up this season somewhere. Did you bring your 996 out here? Where's the Yellow Beastie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz951 Posted 16February, 2013 Report Share Posted 16February, 2013 G'day Wayne. Be good to catch up this season somewhere. Did you bring your 996 out here? Where's the Yellow Beastie? Yes mate, sure did. Got the 996 complianced and registered a couple of weeks ago. It was a bit of a short lived joy as 15 mins into my first drive I picked up a tank of crap fuel and the car was off the road for another week whilst I sorted it The yellow car is sitting in my garage at the moment. I'm awaiting the return of some of my gear from the UK before I run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted 9March, 2013 Report Share Posted 9March, 2013 Geez, there's a lot of familiar people in here! Great to have a dedicated OZ Porsche site too. My name's Patrick...and I'm a Porsche-aholic...errr Porschephile. Grew up with the 930 as my dream car. Was in the PCNSW club back in the '80s with a VW gls that we whacked a little Japanese IHI huffer on. Great little car. Didn't rejoin until 2006 when I bought a very nice slate grey metallic 1989 944 turbo out of South Australia. Flew down on a Saturday morning with a Bank Cheque in the back pocket. Drove it home that day. Not a bad test drive! Then of course the mod bug bit and went through one disaster after another. Multiple engine build$ later and a different car after writing the grey one off in a crash. I'm now in the midst of a rather interesting Race car build. Some of you will know the car. Started as a Black '86 944 turbo (ebay special). Transplanted all the running gear off the '89 which by that time had quite a few modifications and then made the decision to 'cross the line' over to a proper track car (stripped / caged etc) back in late 2010. Finally got it back on the track in April 2012 after a lot of time and that other thing that shall remain namele$$. First time out, had an issue with the suspension (inside rear wheel lift at T1 Eastern Creek!) and put it into the far tyre wall. So currently it's in it's 3rd build with even more stuff going on. While the last build looked pretty sharp the next one will be a step up again. Hope to be back on the track in a few months. Geez look who decided to show up on the aussy forum! Welcome I haven't clicked around much here as i was building my engine and clicking around R list looking for answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the power plant. Oh uh don't mind the 2x4.. my gas struts went during the build 333pg333 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiX Posted 13March, 2013 Report Share Posted 13March, 2013 Hi Guys & Girls, Would like to introduce myself, my name is Nick, been reading this forum for about the past 3 months - joined today as I can add Boxster to the "Rides" section. Have been a Porsche fan since a kid & always wanted to own one. First saw the Boxster whilst working in Switerland in 1998 and said to myself one day I will get one of those... eventually that day finally arrived last week. Purchased a 2003 Black Boxster S (manual) which is exactly what I wanted. Look forward to meeting and doing a few cruise with Vic members in the near future. Cheers, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 13March, 2013 Report Share Posted 13March, 2013 Good on you Nick and welcome. Congrats on the boxster. Have to come along to one of our get togethers at some stage. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 13March, 2013 Report Share Posted 13March, 2013 G'day Nick, great to have you join us, even greater that we have another "box" in the ranks. Looking forward to meeting you at a coffee catch up or of course one of our unforgettable SMT's. We have the Baw Baw run coming up shortly. A bit of a longer run than we normally do and after talking to Mike the organizer we may have up to 20 cars. So be a good one to break your Box in and meet the members. Parkdale, makes you just about a neighbor to a few of us. Again, welcome, Regards, Niko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByronBayChris Posted 13March, 2013 Report Share Posted 13March, 2013 Never really introduced myself....... So here goes Looked at 993 for many years but was never the right time. Then my mother in law was hit with terminal cancer and perspectives changed on many things. So started looking, and bought a 94 993 sight unseen with no PPI. Car is pretty good for me, and is kept on the street so was never after a perfect example. Having done some more research, I have now round that this car is NUMBER TWO in Australia. So, not quite number 1,but looks like the first tip made for Australia. Very happy with ownership so far, have enjoyed a couple of trips so far. Learning the art of driving a 'raw' car. My other drives are a VW R36 (faster than p car but far less engaging) and a Benz r320 diesel 7 seat wagon for the family. Cheers.

There will always be reasons to not buy, but at some point just have to bite the bullet. Were you lucky as far as the condition of the car not having had a PPI done? I've driven a couple 993 tips and have also found they are not overly quick, though I wasnt able to push the ones i drove, given they were test drives.. the Golf GTI i currently have feels quicker. Would like to eventually try a 993 manual to compare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByronBayChris Posted 14March, 2013 Report Share Posted 14March, 2013 So far so good re no PPI. Nine plus have seen the car and were happy with it. A great DD for me on local runs. Just gotta get it on some longer higher speed runs. Certainly my R36 would whip it in a drag, but I feel no connection with the road in the vw any more since getting the p car. Quite a shame, as the vw was a really good car. C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to eventually try a 993 manual to compare Bite the bullet is right. I'm so scared of the maintenance but not scared enough to stop being obsessed with owning one! Hence why I'm waiting. I'm clearing up a bit of credit card debt and making financial position strong enough to buy one. This means a 964 or 993 might end up in my garage after all. I know the wait will be worth it.http://www.uniquecarsales.com.au/private/details/porsche-911-carrera-1994-14436493?base=1216+1841&vertical=Car&cr=4&page=5&eapi=2&__N=4294963765+1247+1282+1252+1246+1216&num=12&silo=Stock&Range=Price:Min,60000~1&sort=UniqVotes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
