Update and pics of new additions
Hi All - I sold my Gray S2 - the deepice car with all the miles on it and the one in my avatar back on June 1, 2005 to a fellow up in Tennessee who said he drifted 928s. A pic of it popped up on here from the NOPI nationals a while back.
I lasted about 6 months - drove an old honda and an old ford pick-up for a while before I couldn't take it anymore. I started looking and came across a white 1989 S2 with a navy blue interior and 170k on the clock. I picked it up for 6k on February 1st and drove it home. The exterior is in great condition and the interior in in pretty decent shape. Dash has a lot of cracks, seats are showing wear and the are some bent interior panels in the rear where water leaked through the sunroof at some time.
That weekend I was surfing on ebay and came across another car - a 1989 NA with a blown timing belt and lots of bent body panels. I had seen the car on craigslist before the timing belt went out. I worked out a deal with the guy on the car and dragged it home on Saturday the 4th. The black car has a limited slip transmission, 10 speaker door panels, a factory air pump and of course the bigger motor.
This Saturday Albert (aribop) and I got together and snapped a few black and white shots which are attached. I am musing over some different ideas on the S2. I've already removed the window tinting and rock guards. I've got C2-turbo wheels on the way thanks to DareDevil and ebay. I put in clear front turn lenses and I've got clear sidemarkers on the way from turnclear. I am thinking about converting the interior to black using whatever I can from the parts car. I am also considering using the NA LSD trans in the S2 although I am not sure what that means from a gearing angle. Albert's got dibs on the 89 NA motor
I've got some before pics on the S2 and pics of the 89 NA on this site - www.barefamily.com/porsche.html Sorry about the book....

Your link has a bad backslash..... www.barefamily.com/porsche.html
White car looks just like my S2, except I have Burg. interior.
