Sameer,

I have seen the pictures of your car and wouldn't change a thing.

Brent,
Honestly I'm in two minds. I think I'm just getting too bored.

Jay,
Thanks.

I hear you on that, after I get my iginition upgraded I made a promise to myself that I'm done. If your bored and have money then go EFI, that should keep you busy and work your mind for a long time.

Most any color would look good but you already have a new paint job I think and it looks great.

Brent930,
I'd like to go EFI but I just have no support over here. Getting the hardware is not a problem but getting a "good" tuner here in Singapore is. I'd have to fly someone in to tune the Motec(I would take this path), and what happens when the tuner flies back and I need to retune? Too much trouble involved so I'd stick to the traditional K Jettronic.

AZ911,
Damn that blood orange turbo looks gorgeous. I'm gonna take my time to decide.

I think I will put in a dissenting vote for Orange. Unless you want to pay out the wazzo, changing colors is usually a bad idea unless you are planning on painting all the undersides of every piece of sheetmetal too. Changing colors can triple the cost if you plan on painting floorboards, have to pull the engine, pretty mush dismantle the entire interior. Its not for the faint of heart. Unless you go ***** out, you will always have areas where you can see the original color and I dont think that will look good on one of these cars, espec. talking red and orange. If you plan to open the wallet and spend the money to remove every last trace of original paint color Id say have at it. If not, Id say leave it as is.

You fly him in and learn so when he flies away you can do it yourself.

I'm getting Jerry Woods to re curve my timing, cheaper and easier than going electromotive but not as good.

Hey AZ 911 Nice Picture! and the 934 wasn't bad either. I agree with UDPride on color change woes but it's whatever makes your heart beat.

Isn't that "garage" really G&W Motorwerke's showroom?? If it isn't, it is amazingly similar. I think I even remember when the yellow one was getting some work done to it in the shop on the other side of the wall.

Yes it is. I bought my 'Blood Orange' 930 from them. The picture was taken the day I bought it.
