Great analogy, Jim.

More info like this please!

I would love others opinions. I too thought Sunday night would be the perfect end time. Like 9:30 eastern 6:30 pacific?

Just an update too. I just got the PSD working, and i swear the car feels faster. Seriously, would a PSD not active be like putting all the power to just one wheel? I am sure its all just mental, but now the PSD DOES IN FACT FUNCTION PROPERLY, its totally bled and full of fresh Castrol GTA-LM synthetic DOT 4 fluid (New formulation, TRY IT!)

I will also be posting pics of the underside of the car and the wheel wells in the photobucket page for those that are interested.

I usually end my listings around 10:00 P.M. eastern on Monday. If you run a 10 day auction from Friday to Monday, you get exposure over two weekends so there's more chance that the casual browser will see it. Not that a casual browser is most likely to buy your car but even the most dedicated 928 shopper gets tired of scanning eBay constantly. Trust me, I know.
Also, it seems to me that it's more likely that people would be at home to bid on Monday night more so than on a weekend night.

RyanPerrella

yeah that and there isnt CRAP on TV on Monday night too!

Nice idea

What am i going to replace this car with? seriously? I took the car out for a drive with the new PSD system in the car and am now having second thoughts! Damn, how nice this thing would be with a couple more mods like the lighter twin disc clutch and an X pipe, maybe finally get the Aero mirrors too...........

I will have a reserve and see where it goes, but I am starting to get excited about this car AGAIN! If it doesn't meet the reserve, I think I can learn to love this car again! I will probably get right on the twin disc conversion and have at it!

Mrmerlin

RP you dont have an X on there .............???
Now your missing out, and is almost too late to know for sure

RyanPerrella

nope, no X

always wanted to do a before and after dyno and never got around to doing the before. If no sale comes from the Ebay auction then i know what i'm spending my next grand on.

Amazing how a properly running shark can quickly change your mind about the car!

New cars are great and there are many out there that offer some serious performance for very little money, but so many of them lack any real character and presence. The shark on the other hand offers the same level of performance, maybe not as refined as a modern car but then again that is part of the fun. The shark definitely has presence, there is no doubt about that.

The thing I always loved about this car though, is the "potential power" you can get out of these things. 500 RWHP is available a number of ways. I can't think of a better starting point for a 600 hp car. For another $6-7 thousand, your in supercar terrirory. NOW THATS FUN!

Its issue on all automatic 928 where there are no shims at front of TT center shaft or shims are set up wrong. Shims were deleted at '85 MY. S4 and GTS are more suspect of having TBF as they have more low end torque which seems to aggravate the problem.

There is known '92 - early '94 MY GTS and 968 rod issue. Factory didn't redesign those rods just for fun and state that 1R casting number rods should always be replaced with 2R number rods whenever rod nuts are opened.

To some it seems it means just leather dash and center console, nothing else needs to be leather apart from seats and few other obvious pieces for sales ad to have mention of full leather. To others full leather is that Oak Green US GTS with leather inside rearview mirror and everything else in leather too. There really isn't any single definition. What is sure is that whatever was available for ROW cars could also be ordered for US model. '90 MY is no exception.

ROW models got standard airbags etc at different time than US cars. In some cases there is also difference in LHD and RHD ROW market cars. Nothing really strange in it at all. Its just rationalization of production and meeting market specific customer demands.

So while your here and since you commented and i figure you would know. When a person checked the leather option on the interior, for 90 what did that include? I know packages changed from year to year, market to market and I suspect it no longer included the dash, center console and pod. Can you confirm this? Where you get this info from i have no idea. But I suspect that my car has an option, which used to be full leather (probably was still called full leather) and you could also then supplement that package with other leather parts, like the pod, the dash, the switch gear, the ac vents (leather covered AC vents is AWESOME!)

TJS

Yes, he's had advice from about 10 different people to do a simple easy to read advert and has ignored them. For my 2c the car will not pass $20,000.

RyanPerrella

again with this ****!

Seriously, how many times do i have to say i RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE!

Get off this "easy to read" stuff. I got the point, i disagree with it, so lets move on already. And again, quite beating a dead horse.

I am aware of the factory's efforts in that regard. What I am not aware of is an example of a rod actually failing due to design.

Jim bailey - 928 International

Charley , Greg Brown has several examples of bent GTS rods that he has removed from engines , he showed me the box full. There was and is a problem with those early rods.

Charley B

There are boxes of every kind of rod ever invented laying around somewhere. The question is, what was going on to cause the bending.

No one has invented a rod yet that that has never bent or broke.

Now if you can assure me that a 2R rod has never been damaged I will have to adjust my attitude.
