The show i saw had Tony Callas inspecting the car on a lift and talking about engine compartment wires, clutch, brakes and tie rods.

Is there a newer show?

buying one's the easy part, keeping it on the road is the $$ part

I was hoping to just get away with having another porsche. Not driving it. It's worked well for me in the past

Just watched it a second time and noticed that even the hood lifts work great

This show would really be cool for people who don't own a 928. But for us that do it sounds kinda fishy. This is ballin on 928 Int's budget. Mark you guys rock so don't take that the wrong way

There are two more clips on the 928 project ...on this site including a famous 928 race driver. Some footage of a warehouse jambed full of 928 parts http://www.whipnotic.com/need-to-kno...-budget-4.html Click on videos hit any of the 928 clips and the related ones pop up also ...

The link doesn't work. Some sort of 404 error.

Looks like one of these was what he meant -- if these don't work, goto the 404 page and type "ballin budget" in the search box. Looks like #2 and #4 are relevant.

Yea, well...these guys are gonna be "Ballin" when that Timing belt they had neglected to replace takes a dukey. Based on the looks of things, it would be safe to say $500 isn't even a band-aid on a 928.

Mark, you're a natural!

I love how they don't mention the clutch costs... but that oil leak, aligment, and tires only cost $400! I wonder how the syncros are?
