I think I built a Race Car

Got the 1980 Euro 928s 5spd home today.....it was on a lift for 4 weeks :( With the headers, dual exhaust , alloy motor and trans mount, air cond delete, forged wheels.... spare tire bye, bye I bet the car weight in at around 2800lbs. It has a new tan vinyl interior and no power seats so..... I took it out 15 miles as a break in and it hauls some major ass!

This is the car I paid 1400 for that was a total basket case! It has a ton of new or newer parts...from the master brake cylinder, fuel pump, engine harness.....the list goes on and on!

Grand total of 6 thousand spent on the car(including rims/tires) + many, many man hours. If any1 is evey in Holland, MI drop me a line....I'll give a a ride and a beer!

Can you reach the pedals?

RicerSchnitzzle 07-07-2009 10:53 PM

What a beast! What size rims and tires on the back? Look meaty. I like.

WOW!! It looks great!.... Does the car's speed cause one to crap his pants when he take a ride in it, or is the little guy just still potty training? (cute kid by the way) :)

probably 19x11.5

Dude! Black on black looks GOOD! Very well done, i'd like to see some more pictures, and i'm not the only one here that would!

the rims are champion motorsports... 8.5 front and 11.5 rear off a brand new 997. tires are

rear 295/30 zr19
front 235/35 zr19

I'm running a 5/16" mr gasket spacer in the rear and had to flare the quarter w/a 1" oak dowel. I can fit my pinkey finger in between the tire/control arm & tire/quarter. Pretty tight fit!

p.s. the car is mocca brown my wife calls it **** brown and my adopted son is almost 2 1/2 so he still rocks the diapers!

Looking nice my friend, and you might offer goffaramma his own diaper just in case, I'd hate to see the seats get dirty.:roflmao:
More pics please:D

I hope my basket case ends up looking half that nice. Nice job!

Well, it looks great regardless. Dark colors with black wheels look great. Even cars without dark paint look good with dark wheels!

Do they make fire retardent diapers? Get that kid a helmet.

pcar928fan 07-07-2009 11:52 PM

Love the wheels on that car... car looks black so looks black/black for the wheels...NICE! Brown, well, maybe not as nice, but what a fun car!

LOL. If I get to ride in that beast, I'll buy my own diapers... and I'll splurge for the "extra load size" just in case...
