Ya I don't have a problem keeping the 944 for a while. Wondering what the difference of 80 and the 82 928 when it comes to power?

No real difference until 85 unless you find a Euro S which started in 80 and is similar to the 85 with a touch less low end and a touch more top end. Biggest driving difference in early cars is 5 spd vs AT, where the AT is a bit lackluster.

I would like to have the S version of the 928 it's just going to take more $$$$.

Whatever. You know at Monaco, you shift 2,600 times--or about every 3 seconds. Something to think about. Sorry, watched GrandPrix last night

Should I take detailed pictures and possibly a video of the 80 928 and post it to the forum for you guys to analyze?

80 928 has a new dual disc clutch that needs adjustment. Thoughts?

Well, it may have some new clutch parts, but I doubt it has a whole new clutch.
A whole new clutch would be more than the rest of the car is worth.

I know you told me that it had the slave and master cylinder replaced, and that is going to need some modification.

And you need to remember that that some of the other clutch parts that were not replaced are well over 30 years old.

928dreamer

Right. Well he said it needed "adjustment". I'm sure he didn't replace all the clutch parts.
@blown 87 - have you seen the pics of the engine on my earlier post. What did you think.?

blown 87

Yes, I saw it, it looks like it needs some love.
I am pretty critical of these things though, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I was comparing that one with others that I have found for sale and it looks pretty good. The body especially looks good.
Is there any Georgians near Athens or Atlanta interested in going to look at the 928 with.?

Found my parts car close to where I live. Funny that I find the parts car before I find the actual driving 928.

So I was headed to look at a 80 928 and the guy calls to tell me he sold it. very depressing day.

You still do not understand, you are lucky to have dodged a bullet. Bad thing is you now can fantisize that it was a nice car and a good deal.
Also if a car is a good deal it will sell very quickly often same day it pops up so you have to act quickly. But since you have no or little cash on hand and wish to trade it makes it very hard to make a favorable deal. Drive the 944 learn to work on it and save up a few thousand so you go offer CASH to a seller. Plan on keeping the 944 AND having your 928.
If you can not save enough in 6 -12 months you probably can not afford to own a 928. At least not a dependable running driving one. But having the 944 keeps you driving a Porsche while you work on any 928 you get.

Well I understand I may have dodged a bullet but I would like to test drive a few to get the feel for what is a bad car and what is a good one.

Probably for the best on this one.
