Cal Posted 7August, 2014 Report Share Posted 7August, 2014 looks like phil's old car, gee it was nice. though i like his new car too I didn't know the owner, but knew he did a heap of track days in it. I drove it when Q had it on consignment. Thought long and hard about it, but at $65K I thought it expensive. The market didn't, as it changed hands quickly.

Quozl Posted 7August, 2014 Report Share Posted 7August, 2014 what do the tyres cost in 15" al? Allot about $600 a corner if I buy them locally. Stuckey's and a couple of others can get them. It's not significantly cheaper to buy them from OS which is unusual, I'm trying to get TireRack to carry them Luckily I got two sets with the car and both were pretty much new.

Cheers Al haha i figured. thought about 15"s, but i need 255 on the rear- kind of weird size for 15". how do you rate them? good enough for street and track?

Pfft my MX5 does low 61's out of 1.8L and is 20 years old. Yeah it went like stink, but I drove Q's 997 GT3 RS right after, so I kind of fogot about it!

BlitzKonig Posted 13August, 2014 Report Share Posted 13August, 2014 IMO, get a car thats already done work to it if budget is playing a large part in it. If you want the experience of having a stock car and changing it to your taste, by all means. But you can get so much more for your dollar if you get someones finished (or even half finished) project. I might be a little biased, Im one of the members Sam refereed to in picking up a project car, sure, Ive had to sort a couple of things out and get familiar with the car's character both mechanically and philosophically, but to build a car of same structure would be 3x the cost. And some inspiration (maybe? haha). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
