Default Pics of my '90 GT

My brother Bill has a mint low mile '85 euro 5 speed, and 2 years after he bought his I found this in '06: a no rub strip guards red on black GT with only 25K miles at the time. We have done a clutch, a/c refresh, TB/WP (Ed's new superpump), Bilstein/eibach, tires, brakes, MM/PG with the silicone gasket, and some other stuff. 32K miles now after 2 trips to SITM.

Also: Lomas stainless X with cats and RMB. The guards red was not what I wanted, but it has grown on me and I love it now. It adds at least 30 hp also...

Yep... red GT's are faster. Mine was not my first color choice either, but has grown on me too.

Very nice car, but you need to drive it more... WAY more. My car now has 156k miles.

Beautiful car, glad to see you have been enjoying it (but not enough!).

Do you get any rubbing or tramlining with your front wheels? They look like a pretty low offset.

Chris has a really nice car, I have drooled all over it while doing mm/pg, suspension, brakes and other stuff with him. Original porsche single stage paint is great stuff.

Very nice car and the pics show off the great lines and shape of the 928. Temporary reprieve from the snow here in the UK, so can't wait to take my GT out for a run tomorrow. Absolutetly no need to go anywhere, just going to drive in whatever direction takes my fancy.

Beautiful car...watch that front offset...

It won't be a rubbing problem, it will be hitting a pothole or something like that and fully compressing the front suspension (never had it happen to me, but it is possible) and then the wheel is going to bend the crap out of your fender and possibly/probably pop the bead on the tire if not split the tire completely. Man, I'd hate to see that happen to such a gorgeous car!

James, those are real 928 offset front wheels. There are 255's on there and they haven't rubbed yet. No markings on those wheels that tell offset or even brand, but they measure 9" front and 10" rear.
