yasin...found it. thank you for the reference.
i should not have taken off the entire lower rear fender wings...that was cause for bloody knckles and got me pretty pissed off along the way.
i love this site as there is NOTHING that has not been done and always willing people to help in the step by step.
thank you all.

ok...just got back from a ride with my brother. we each stood outside of the car to watch a fly by.
here is where we are in thoughts:
1. holy schit...the noise in side w/ the windows open does not compare to the music on the outside under throttle!
2. when the windows are up it is very liveable...tough to make a cell phone call however.
3. you get to hear sounds that you never got to hear when stock or even b&b pipes were in place.
4. to keep more discreet...always drive in the left lane so as to point the mayhem away from the other cars...just seems the nice thing to do!
5. maybe not the best daily driver mod but man it weakens the knees!
6. ALWAYS...ALWAYS ride with a passenger so you can get out and witness a fly by when the mood strikes!!!!!
Verdict: i feel differently about the sound today than i did yesterday. the car now sounds like it should and it stays! at least until the police tell me it goes!!
my brother is a law dog so i should be ok as long as i keep to his jurisdiction.
best,
pcb

Congradulations on your decision...LOL...
I'm sure you'll be happy with your choice....
I'm actually looking forward to doing a similar mod; however, I want a dual setup if possible.
As for as the noise level, well, I live in a area where there are a zillion Harley Davidson's and they are loud as hell...so I figure If they can get away with it, well, I sure as hell am going to give it a try...
Happy Holidays...

Yes its an 85- I have always wanted a TR and thought it would look nice in the garage next to my 85 euro 930. I could then die in piece, or at least die with the knowledge that I was able to spend most of my children's inheridence.. LOL
I know it's not a P car but it is still cool as hell. -here it is

Good luck on the TR deal, I have a couple of buddies that have them and its on my hit list too. Seems like a good price also.. that is if all the services are up to date etc.. Remember.. you haven't expericed ture ownership until you've paid for your first service!
By the way.. here's my Turbo's stablemate

Wow!
Awesome FCAR onboost. Absolutely gorgeous example of a classic Ferrari. Although red is my favorite color, your color choice is perfect...Like my 930, the 308 is one of my favorite FCARS...love classics. There is such an understated elegance that I just love. Oh do I remember Magnum PI. Brings back memories...sorry, I"m drifting.

do not buy a tr unless it has been documented as having its recent service at an authorized dealer or reputable independent! like an ice berg...there is sooooooooo much below the surface that can/will sink you!
they are big boy cars independant of the fact that they can be had for in the 50-60k range. never more appropriate is the expression , "buy the best car you can afford..it will save you big money down the road."
a tr major is $7.5k - 10k on average...they can run more believe it or not! a cheap tr is a recipie for heartbreak...and a quick path to the poor house.
nice 308 gts qv by the way...wonderful color too!!! i also have an 83 gtb qv w/ euro spoiler that is rosso metalica. i love the non traditional colors on the 308 as they look very elegant and less boy racer. my boxer is traditional rosso corsa but i would have loved to have found the right car in an alternate color like ....grigio!!!
the 308 qv get so little respect but what they are is one of the most distinctive and sexy cars on the planet!!!!!!!!!
and they love to rev. don't mistake the lack of low end power for being gutless. they will run with a 3.2 carrera all day long.
i like that we have so many members in this forum that are car people and not just porsche people. as fantastic and legendary as our 930's are...there are many other cool rides out there too.

I would be just as happy driving a 1948 Chevy Fleetliner as I would a Lambo or Ferrari...
I just love the automobile...

Love the 308 color. I came close to a 348 and recently missed out on a GTO- still kicking myself for that one.
I probally will pass on this TR oh well- Mike

Hey Mike,
I'm sure you're familiar with the saying,"Patients is a virtue" and "Good things come to those who wait". Well I'm sure that the right car at the right price is coming your way...
Happy Holidays.

Pete-
Heh, I love the "WTF did I just do" syndrome. BTDT of course, gotta love it. Sounds like you're at peace with your new found melodiousness! Good for you!
There's <<<nothing>>> like having some do the driveby in your own car, too cool. Kudos, and, congrats!
Mike, good for you in your Fcar search! I ***TOTALLY AGREE***, there's nothing that makes a forum better than being surrounded by other petrol heads who can and do appreciate other marques. First and foremost, I'm an automobile enthusiast - namesakes be damned.
I've driven a couple TR's - a boxer 12 is truly something to behold and experience. Ergonomic disasters of course, typical eyetalian seating position. Awesome supercarness tho. Try one mit Tubi, WOT - woah!
Single mirror is first year / '85 only, after went to duals and lower IIRC. Others here are *insurmountably* better versed upon them than I, but an 11k first-year'er @ that # kinda seems low to me. Good ones I'd place in the high 50's mid 60's range IMHO. The ones I drove were in that price bracket and showed / felt it.
Anywho, sounds like you're passing on that one, cool. Regardless of what you do, DO keep us posted on what else you check out - 1/2 the fun is the thrill of the chase of course, and us '3 kids / single income' schleps enjoy living vicariously through you superheros pursuing your TRs and what not 8-).
Pete, enjoy that crack-pipe!!!
Paul (onboost), fabulous GTS color! I call it the 'color of the road', aka cammoflage. Love it. Red to me is overplayed (not that your bb isn't dropdeadsexy Pete, esp. w/ the yellow!). One of the TR's I drove was silver with red gut, what a deviation from the norm, but ohsocool. I digress...
Happy Ho, and all that gents!
