Lightbulb WE Need Ideas!

Could you all help me out a little?

I want some ideas of things that could be to a 944. Maybe not koni's or anything like that, just something creative that someone has thought of or heard of being done to a 944 or T, ie nice wheels, huge power, interior change, ANYTHING.

This is more or less to start a crazy discussion. Just seems like the board has been dry the past few days.

Ok...I just bolted a set of BBS RS 3-piece mesh wheels on my 944. 9x16 front and 10x16 rear. The car has most of its engine out right now so it's up on its suspension but they look like they will fit without rubbing. They are late offset (ET49) which my car ('88) needs. They were from a 930, and I bought them from a guy in Germany and had them shipped here to the US complete with Michelin Pilots on them. I don't have any pics yet, but they look pretty cool after the 15x6 (?) stock phone dials.

Um, that's the most extreme thing I've done to my 944. Please try to contain your amazement everyone.

How about the 914 back-end idea? There was a thread about 2-months ago with great Photoshop mark-ups someone did. Looked amazingly professional like the picture was of a real car!

Looked kinda pricey, so why not something like this?

You could...turn your 951 into a camaro and have **** sex with a a nasty **** on it:





*rest of pictures censored since this is a family site*

Ever thought about turning your 944 into a police cruiser? Here is a viper:



You could...I don't know what is going on in this picture:



You could shod the rear of your car with a widebody kit and fit some 18"x13" wheels with 335/30 18 tires on it:



You could take your choice of beautiful rear ends:



You could turn your 951 into a 968 turbo S with a lot of money:

Or you could make your 944 really ugly with bad fitting body kits and poorly executed designs:

Or...you could...take a 2100 pound AE86 corolla and stuff a 20B cosmo 3 rotor turbocharged 600 HP engine in it and go race hondas:

Have a LOOK SEE

BTW, it is a funny video.

Thank you. The page is still a work in progress, all though I haven't futzed with it in a week or so. I have a lot more content to put on it, but I am almost out of space (you would be amazed how quickly 10 MB goes), so...I think I get 100 megs of space with my school account, but I haven't really looked into it. I am going to start doing some video projects for fun (lots of car stuff) so I will probably need a gig of space or more...maybe I should just turn my PC into a file server over my cable modem...but...the upload sucks on my cable modem (240kbits/sec I think), so I will have to figure that one out.

I was also thinking of doing an everything/nothing kind of site where I would update it a few times a week with what ever is new in life and what I find interesting...but...there are a million or so of those types of pages out there (by far the biggest one with the best/craziest/most disgusting/offending/sexual/funny/weird content is stileproject.com), so I may be wasting my time since nobody would probably read it anyways . I don't have anything (I mean absolutely nothing) to do until next monday, except maybe get drunk and vomit 2 or 3 times, so I may work on the page a bit. Thanks again.

Hey guys,
thanks for all of the pictures of some of
the ugliest cars that I have ever seen! No,
that was actually a good reminder of why you
shouldn't rice your Porsche. If I can get a
picture of the man that lives near me with
the 3 series BMW with a truck bed.. I'll let
you all know.
Thanks again.

Oh, ribs, there "might" (wink, wink) be a
way to increase your upload speed on your
cable modem, unless it bottlenecks you down
to that because of traffic. Mike Adkins, who
is on the board, should be able to help you
with all of your networking needs. I'm just
his understudy.
