I guess they don't need wipers in Arizona! No washer fluid reservoir either.

Niiiicely done engine bay. I'd have never thought the red intake manifold would look so nice....

What's a Garrett GT-25 turbo? Is it larger than the T-04E?

Great car, in fact it has me questioning myself as a 968 ownder but I don't consider a car immaculate when it's missing the power mirror adjustment **** and the cassette lid...

That car gives me wood.

I dont care if it is missing the power mirror button, I think its dreamy.

I am going to have to re-evaluate my budget for my summer makeover.

That wing is awesome.... I want one for my 944. Very reminisant (sp) to the thick Turbo wings on our 911 brothers'

Sure.. I'll take the challenge. Give me a few more months.

That, however, is a bad *** car! Still makes me wonder why he wants to sell it.

WOW!!!

That's reallll nice, eh! Looks like a no expense spared street racer/show car. Could easily enter and win many local competitions as is. Maybe too nice to race, but would be neat at a DE or time trial. Seems to have hit all the major points - bearings, suspension, steering, standard high-HP mods without internal touches or stand-alone EM. Most normal asthetic wear items are accomplished or upgraded. A real show-n-go car - perfect import drag spoiler The springs are easily replaced.

NEEDS FIRE SUPPRESSION!!! Right Perry - Right Ian??? Any investment like that would be a shame to melt.

IMHO, this car would cost at least 30k to duplicate - if all is well with the description, it should fetch ~18-20k. The only thing not mentioned is the drive-train - though I suspect at least the CV's were done, given the attention to detail and the given 944'ish knowledge of the builder. All this from a tuner that gets his kicks building sub 12-second GNX's - HP junkie fur sure. Wish I had an extra stack of bills sitting here. Good luck to the bidders!

I can't get into Ebay from work so can one of you have mercy on people like me and upload the pix into Rennlist, please?
This car sounds awesome and from the little sliver of picture comparing the wings I'd really love to see it, especially the underhood. What is it anyway? 944? 951? other?

I'll keep mine thanks. I'll take the Fikses, and the 968 mirrors and door handles though...oh yah, I'd better have those front brakes while I'm at it. I wonder what the lag is like with a Garrett GT25 in a 2.5L?

One of my drivers for my race team had that wing on his race car with stock glass. When we were racing at Carolina Motorsports Park he was going through a turn at about 130 in 4th gear and the glass imploded on him. I wouldn't have that wing on my car with stock glass.

Whoa thats crazy that the glass imploded on that guy with that same spoiler. I guess it has something to do with the wind pressure or downforce in the turn. Man, but that wing looks SO nice!

That wing is straight off the Batmobile. It'd look better on a modded civic. And dont throw al that form over function crap at me, cause there are much nicer looking wings out there that perform just as good or even better than that monstrosity.

That's a gt racing lemans spoiler. I have to get it! It costs around 330 and the front splitter costs around 230, it have to get that too! I'm getting the same wheels. 275's in the rear, only I would have 245's in the front. Would 245's fit?
