If you know what this is, you'll snap it up for your 2L car. 1973 2.4 Magnesium 7R case. This saves 22 lbs. over a 2L aluminum case without sacrificing strength - a very rare item as you may know. This case has been race prepared by Ollies including align bore back to standard, case inserts, by-pass mod, clearanced for large pump, boat tail mains, etc. Have Ollies invoice - in fact it's still in their box. $2600. FOB

wow twice this week alone 944 guys using our tech forum to sell parts.
somewhat irritating as it dilutes our tech forum.
wonder if its normal over there to use their forum as ebay.

Huh? So if *I* found one in my stash (and I actually might have one or two of these) and posted for sale, that would be fine?

Funny how not too long ago we considered these $2-300 cases. Before any machine work prep, of course.

Oh my. So sorry, guys; certainly didn't mean to pee in anyone's pool. Quite frankly, I thought this was rare enough to warrant some interest rather than criticism. Clearly my mistake. You've made your point.

BTW, not sure what makes me a 944 guy. My avatar, I suppose, but I've owned / built / driven 911's for more than 30 years.

like it not - management (Randy) has put this out, encouraging this type of thread:

Posting For Sale and Parts Wanted on the Forums
POSTING PARTS/CARS FOR SALE OR PARTS/CARS WANTED


If you want to post model-related items or cars for sale here, or request parts or cars wanted to buy, you MUST be a paid Rennlist Member.

Please include a detailed description and the asking price in all For Sale posts.

Any 'For Sale' and 'Parts Wanted' posts by non-members, or by Members with no asking price, "Best Offer", "Make an Offer", "Highest Offer over $xx", "Email for Details and Price", etc. will be removed without notice.

OK, now that's settled, here's some additional suggestions:

Create a detailed post with pics of the item for sale in the Members Classified forum:

http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforum...ysprune=&f=136

Then, post a For Sale thread in the model-specific forum with a simple description of the item and a link to the detailed post in the Classified forum. Ask that non-Members PM you for additional details.

By posting in the Classified forum, other Members with other models will also see your item when they would not have seen it in the model forum. For example, a set of turbo twist wheels you want to sell will fit several other Porsche models.

We encourage you to sell to Members first, but realize that there are many non-Members who may also want your item.

While not mandatory, we also encourage Member pricing, i.e. a discount price when sold to another Member.

By targeting your sales to other Members, the Rennlist Admins can step in and provide assistance in the event that a transaction goes bad - they have all pertinent info for Members, but non-Members are completely anonymous.

Finally - it is extremely bad form to jump into someone's For Sale thread and post a similar item that you too have for sale. Show some courtesy and get a friggin' clue.

Huh?

Dammed interesting object, for sale from a MEMBER, in the proper forum.

Don't quite get it, unless you object to the 944 avitar, but please do note it is a GT3 car and probably gets used as such...some 911s here never get to see a track, much less race.

Yea I'm having the same confusion...

On another note, and I could be wrong its been a while, but I don't think the mag case saves 22lbs? The case probably weighs that.

theiceman

I just get a little cranky when people come on here not to contribute but to make money thats all .. move along ..

Steve Weiner-Rennsport Systems

Weight difference between a mag & aluminum case is 22 lbs.

KaiB

Actually, I see his post as a contribution.

And what's wrong with posting cool stuff for sale in the forum in which the part fits? Happens all the time and you seem to be the only soul who's knickers bind up.

J richard

Ahh... The root of the confusion: the case I have in the garage IS a mag case!...it has been a while...
