GLWS, that's a good price for it, altho without the history, anybody buying it will need to do the wp/tb right away.
In your sig, you mention the 02 Boxster and that you'll never own another. I know it's off topic, but what were your issues? Why not another? I have an 03 that is not as bullet proof as my 928.

Thank you, Yes the TB/WP has to be done to not risk then engine, thats why I priced it where I did. But if it doesent sell soon I am parting it out.

I had a very bad experience, Electrical issues, Steering lines getting clogged and the stupid "Plastic" Power steering pump blowing up on me. Then clutch, Axles etc........ and the car had 60K on it.

likw I said, GLWS, but I damn near choked when I read your words about parting it out - that car is way too nice to part out. Be a real shame to do that. It will sell eventually.

Correct, But its attached so the pump heated up and the reservoir melted. Stupid design in my opinion.

Agreed, which is why this car is now destined for Green Bay.

I hope my 16V brothers do not hold this against me...........

Congrats, E.

Did you have a PPI done on it? How are you getting it to GB?

The plan is to drop in a 16V engine and convert it to a 5-speed.
Not sure what's left to check on a PPI....

Actually Porken is my man on the scene, talking with him to get it sorted out.

The plan was to fly out / drive it home but that's just not going to happen so arranging transportation to have it shipped here.

Two 16V's and now this one.
There was a burn damaged 91 I picked up 7 years ago that I parted out locally, still have the VIN tag from that chassis. RIP.....

The burning question....keep the supercharger on the 81 or move it to this one. Yea yea, buy a second kit. Long term that will happen but not right away.
