Hi


I have been reading over the last couple of months, for amusement as well as the info. Thought I would join and say thanks... so thanks very much.

Currently sat around waiting for my 928 to arrive home, it's been in the shop for the best part of 3 months. Nothing critical just a long deserved overhaul and a little upgrading, she spent a lot of time waiting for parts.

Cool, fresh meat!

Welcome to the SharkTank - if you feel a nibble at your toes, it's just Randy.

Ever see "The Godfather"?

In the Rennlist Word:
John D = Don Corleone
Randy V = Michael Corleone with a Martini (although lately he's reminding me of Fredo )

Well THERE's some serendipity! Been over at the O/T ?

Randy V

Welcome, Paul.

Don't worry about Hacker - he's still miffed at me for putting that cracked 16V head in his bed.

AO

Is that what he meant when he said you had provided the best 'head' ever?

you couldnt have come to a nicer group of people........Andrew here and damn near everybody here are wonderful to deal with.
Now get busy with some details on what you had done to the shark

mark kibort

No worries as long as he uses a supercharger over a turbo.

Wow what a welcome!

Now as far as turbos and intercoolers go... I could be persuaded either way, I just won't do it quick. I have had the 928 for just over a year, had a service, travelled around 15000 miles and then thought about where best to spend the money, and how to explain it to the other woman in my life!

Okay details:
Brake mod - up to S4 along with Front top wishbones from this and a Front bottom wishbones from that, track rods shortened, new hubs and a few more bits.
New dampers - standard
Alignment
Wheels refinished and furnished with some new rubber
Cam belt - with cam gears
Service and tune-up
Windscreen with built in ariel (i'll explain later)
Air-con recharge and tinker
New fan motor
A few switches and lights
Paintwork re-furb
Rear panel respay (getting rid of small dink and large unsightly arial)


Thats about it bar the shouting Oh and I will post some pics, I don't want to grovel but you lot have some amazing cars - you have encouraged a bad (good) habit
