Thanks for the kind words all! I've been a lurker here on and off for years but now that I actually own 928 there's a million questions on my mind!
This car is quite a transition for after 10 years of being a Supra guy - have 5 of various gens and all turbo. My 85 Supra put down 420rwhp last spring. This was @ 16psi and it can run 22psi. I really want to explore a low boost turbo setup if this 928 motor up to the task. The Porsche engineering seems buggered in appearance compared to Toyota but what do I know?
The car it's self starts great but has a very noticeble miss on a cylinder. Not sure if it's fuel or spark at this point. It also has a few small coolant leaks when hot. I don't even know of any local places to go for hoses, oil filters and plugs!

Let me know what you think. Enjoy!

In regards to the window sticker posted, I cant belive that gas cost $1.55 in 1981! It seems like only five years ago it cost $1.55???????
