For the average air cooled owner doing about 2,500km a year, it won't get to 300,000 until 2039! It does present well and I agree it will be interesting to see how it fairs in the market. Good point! 250,000 k's. And it looks super nice, paint looks great, Peter M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it presents like a car with way less Kim's. Last of G series, G50 box, Aus delivered, original paint etc etc, I think its a bit of a unicorn and priced ok (in todays inflated market) compared to $200k LHD converted backdates (green car) for instance.

Uncle Posted 2August, 2020 Report Share Posted 2August, 2020 On 02/08/2020 at 07:57, Peter M said: I think you would be having too much fun or being arrested to care. Absolutely epic build. RUF wheels with widebody is one of my favourite looks Interesting to see water/methanol injection. It's surprising it isn't used more frequently as it avoids the expense and inconvenience of running E85. The pancake manifold of the 930 isn’t the best for it. I was running it on the silver 930 when I was playing with maxing out the CIS system on just a simple RPM switch. The white 934 rep I had also had it set up but I pulled it out as it was running e85 anyhow. It does work but its hard to get “right”.

Yes it is, or rather makes all the other 930s on the market way over priced. Went and viewed it yesterday, very straight UK car with no rust issues (mostly all original paint!). Being an 88 is newer that most 930s, low milage but gearbox rebuilt and uprated with LSD, engine rebuilt properly and also uprated and set up with modern injection for far more reliable running. Is now realistically very similar to or even better than a RUF BTR stage 3 which received more capacity and more modern injection system also. Fit a RUF BTR front spoiler to house the oil cooler and you're set. At the moment runs cooler with fan in the usual position which is enough really because the rest is set up so well it doesn't run hot anyway. If I hadn't just bought what I have now that car would be in my garage now. Will be having a delicate chat with the powers that be, may still do it if possible and the car is still available.
