michel Posted 19September, 2016 Report Share Posted 19September, 2016 (edited) let you guys fill it in... but thought given the 928 guys are chewing their lips over the Q, and given the recent rush of blood experienced by more than a few here and likely lurkers... My only thought is , don't underestimate the fun you'll have putting a car tight and on the road... the question of whether it's a great drive well, is a secondary proposition ... for the moment.irrespective, what's happening out there in 924 land Edited 20September, 2016 by michel TrevMcRev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear924 Posted 27October, 2016 Report Share Posted 27October, 2016 I sense a renewed interest in the 924 with car people interested in talking 924 as there as so few on the roads. Suggest that slowly 924 owners and moving from "I'm broke so all I can afford is this 924", to "The 924 is a fun little car that represents 70/80s motoring. A car I can drive and not worry about whether I should sell it to pay off the mortgage. I've got some spare $$ so I might sort it out to preserve a bit of Porsche history". Not many for sale these days and prices seem to be creeping upwards slowly. michel and TrevMcRev 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a baseline 924 in average condition, but sounded great and looked like a bit of care free fun Edited 1November, 2016 by D2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear924 Posted 27November, 2016 Report Share Posted 27November, 2016 I'm currently rebuilding the engine in mine. It has had a clutch riding on 'limp home' mode for a few years (including various track days), a bent conrod and the spring in the WUR was snapped in half. With all these problems the car was still a bunch of fun.... I can only imagine what it will be like with a sorted and 'improved... he he' engine. These cars have a reputation as being unreliable yet I think my is testament to how tough they truly are. michel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLR8 Posted 27November, 2016 Report Share Posted 27November, 2016 ... sounded great and looked like a bit of care free fun.Having just done a 280km club run in mine today (around Mt Warning and environs), I can confirm this. I love mine. Every time I get in it I go back in time, and find a big smile on my face.I have owned some great 70s/80s "classics" in the past, but the 924 floats my boat the most. All faster, but none handle as well.I love the power of a 944, but they are (in all respects) noticeably heavier to drive, and (comparably) seem to rely more on grip than handling dynamics. michel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 13December, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 13December, 2016 (edited) seems the blue 924T causing many to revise their tendencies has resurfaced at some swanky not dissimilar to DUTTONS mis en scene in Adelaidehttp://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C819038 30000 pounds sterling Edited 13December, 2016 by michel edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 13December, 2016 Report Share Posted 13December, 2016 Thought it would end up there eventually They seem to have a good turn over of quality cars, as their stock doesn't seem to last long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 13December, 2016 Report Share Posted 13December, 2016 It's a great looking example, pricey yes, but if you've seen what it takes to resurrect a neglected one, it may not be a bad proposition to spend up on a pristine example as long as you are in it for the long haul. michel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michel Posted 14December, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 14December, 2016 (edited) approx 3/5 the price on some CGT's and 15k more than the recent one sold outta Melbourne ... flipper investor speculator 'enthusiast' who buys in at this number . Well we know the flipper already had a bite at the cherry But by all accounting a peachy car ... said before, it then made that silver car sold in QLD month or two back at 17k, and if this is truly YOT924T, the bargain. still looking for those 2 mocha black T's EDIT: base price not as expensive as I'd suggested but once bought shipped and taxed probably would be Edited 15December, 2016 by michel TrevMcRev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
